This DVD recorder offers simple recording, you call up the freeview guide, select the program your interested in and press a button, always worth adding a few mins to the end time as the TV companies have a habit of over running.

The picture from this recorder is fantastic especially when connected to a hidef ready TV, it even gives great quality when wired up to a LCD projector.

This recorder doesn't have some features like zoom, but it starts up instantly, none of that loading for 5 mins that I had on my old Sony.

Still haven't worked out how to record and have scenes, which is a pain when you want to forward through a recording.

Lovely bit of kit, looks good and is good.
