I was looking for an HD hard disc recorder and have come again and again to Samsung BD devices. 2 years ago I have a hard disk recorder (not Samsung) bought as a gift, and set the recipient, before I had even one of Siemens, so I can compare now. This device satisfies me with a little "but" - almost anything I've seen better realized. eg EPG - it loses again and again and needs to be reloaded, so any improvement to its predecessor. Screen layout for EPG is also not voted in favor of clarity. Delete the recordings can also be reached in different ways. Once you delete the file, a different entries on the recordings. What kind of a deeper sense this division I do not understand. All in one: OK, functions in a single unit - outstanding, ease of use - goes like this. I could have bought also predecessor and save money. What was criticized for BD-F8500 portable terminals has remained exactly except the price. If my review appears incomplete, it is intended for, I refer to the reviews on BD-F8500 portable terminals.
Supplement 06.28.14 It comes to recording aborts when eg a program will be recorded and the other one is on pause. According to Samsung, it is possible to record two channels simultaneously. Delayed television is technically nothing more than receiving, so why it comes to recording termination?
