The operation is at least in the first few hours is a bit of a problem, because the manual unfortunately often not quite go into detail, and you have to try a lot (unfortunately it is in my opinion not so intuitive that you can find their way quickly). The menu selection itself is clear and if you have understood how to switch between HDD, TV, DVD or recorded video also makes it fun to work with the device. Especially the ability to play DivX files and store them on the hard drive have inspired me ...
Unfortunately, the device has a drawback: during recording (regardless of the set level of quality) are lines to see that stretch across the screen. These are unfortunately also be found on the recording. This falls on my Beamer though less than on the small TV in the bedroom, but interferes enormously. And is to send the items back for me a reason.
I can not say whether the is a common problem, or whether I have simply "luck" with this unit. However, since the main task of a hard disk DVD recorder is recording there despite fundamental satisfaction only 3 stars.
