I have bought this recorder for three reasons: - The dear relatives do not come along well with the recording of television programs and have a lousy TV reception, so I'm constantly on the record - I had no BR player - I had no device that can receive digital cable television. Because I previously had an analogue Panasonic recorder and so got along well, there should be a Panasonic again. This recorder made the right impression. After about nine months, I am still of the opinion, to have nothing procured false; I would buy the device again. Even of 14 days, where the recorder was running almost around the clock, were not an issue to me I had to worry the disk capacity. The write-down to 4 stars, there is that one has to convert before firing in SP-quality programs that you want to burn to DVD. It takes, however, at least as long as the mission lasts itself and works only in standby (not so if the same time a recorded or live TV is watched, or recorded anything else). Even otherwise edit and burn themselves are so exclusive that you can record or watch anything at the same time. The Order of the transmitter is also extremely cumbersome. Once I had carelessly thrown at short times a channel scan, because someone had told that there would be new DVB-C channels. This sorting-un-logic also goes in the missing star a (fortunately you do not often make).
