So far, a top device !!!

I have, despite some negative reviews risen here and after much hesitation, three days before the Panasonic DMR-BST740 EC Recorder with 500GB HDD. The commissioning of the recorder is quite simple and self-explanatory. The only thing that was poorly explained is where you will find the main channel list to edit it.
One arrives on the button "Option" -> "FUNCTION MENU" -> "Settings" -> "Basic settings" -> "DVB station table" -> "Channel list" there. The move of the programs in this master list is then very simple.
I have let myself irritated by a review in the "Keyword Recording" has been criticized. In this recording mode, the recordings are deleted after 10 days. Do I need the "keyword Recording" at all?
As the average consumer is not determined.
It comes on the green button "GUIDE" in the program overview of all the programs and may there via the red button then edit a timer recording. Child's play! You can continue to edit and start times and end times or programming on weekly recording. All very easy! These recordings are NOT! automatically deleted after 10 days.
With the key "PROG / CHECK" one has an overview of what you have programmed all the timer recording. By pressing the "DIRECT NAVIGATOR" is gelagt in the recording list.
The Program Guide I find very good. Very fast display and you have the last 24 hours or + 24h function eg to a week program preview.
The time-shifted viewing of a program is also easily via the blue "PAUSE" button. The reaction time in this case is manageable 2 seconds.
Since I have a Panasonic TV has these recognized immediately the remote control. Thus, I can control the TV using the remote control and only need a remote control.
So far I have only tested these basic functions. So far I can not fault reports.
Next, I will test the stream on my PC .... maybe because I find it to what negative.

CONCLUSION: As a normal consumer, I can only say: top device, strong buy recommendation
