This device seemed promising from reading reviews and its specifications. The manual is pretty OK, but I find that most functions are poorly explained (for example: "DST" I did not find the explanation of what this function). At installation, brat forward (highly wisdom!) And first problem: the only HDMI did not allow me visually on the screen, I had to put a SCART socket. (I understood later that this small detail is stipulated in the user manual ...) once this is completed, the installation is easy, and any self tuner seems to be of good quality. The remote Assembly me a little mess. The test recording on HDD is OK, the picture is really good in standard mode. Recording on DVD untested. Reading Divx to DVD is not a problem. But the big worry for me is that the reader does not recognize my external USB HDD ... "USB device not supported" ... There, "the balls" ... A startup that I find "a pile longuette" the reader proved noisy ... Good start, passing, not very important. BUT ... when playing an ordinary DVD - original I specify - I did not apreciated, this small thud of rotation ... Horrible ... Impossible to divert my attention from that noise, at every stage of film where everything is quiet, the noise comes ruining the mood. In addition, the first test on a burned DVD movie ... the reader literally bugged ... I had to unplug it to regain control. NO, I was bringing the craft and I replaced my "old" H / K DVD10 ... I learned to live and do without "HD" and the record so far, I know to wait a little.
