Its a piece of rubbish....to be blunt.
The software is VERY buggy. I'm sure if you do a search for forums for this machine you will find out all the problems.
I've had mine about a month and so far i've found it locks up or gives no signal display, jitters when watching live tv while the buffer is on (now switched off). Problem deleting recordings, problem setting recordings as it says it has a clash (when it doesn't) and most annoying of all it skips back to the previous point when you fast forward.

The only reason for keeping it at present is because of the series link recording, and it has an RF modulator. I'm also hoping they will eventually download software that does what it should do.
