I have used the unit for several weeks intensively and am more than satisfied! I am sending requires that I have an analog cable connection (which I will also keep some time, and the DSDS Geissens I look neither HD nor ever!). In the GUIDE Plus + with all its weaknesses, I have omitted, analogue one is with VPS better off! The installation was done in 10 minutes, then I was able to record and play back. I have since some shipments High Speed burned to DVD (the reading of the manual can be advantageous: DVD -R!) And copied some of my old own video films, edited, cut, recomposed into playlists and also burn to DVD. - Oh yes, I bought the used equipment from Amazon Warehouse Deals, again significantly cheaper in price! The unit looked and worked well during installation - as a new unit. Apparently it came from one of those notorious returner who complain that you can prepare any pizza with the device, and then emit a bad review.
