Actually, the machine is in a good tradition to its predecessors and should hold no disappointments ready. But after a month set the DMR EX 79 its function because hard drive failure (U61) a. The described "recovery process" did not work here. Particularly annoying thing is that all other functions (DVD, TV receiver, USB, etc) then no longer available !! An independent exchange of SATA hard disk is not possible (!) Because, according to my research, the change can take place only in connection with a firmware update. So usually remains only the repair at Panasonic service. If the DMR EX 79 works he is distinguished by a very good DTT reception and high quality recording and playback, and rich feature set. Annoying but the commercials on the EPG GUIDE Plus. Also, it seems that the EPG update will not always updated in time, but could also be the setting.
