I bought this LG as i had bought my partner an LG for Christmas and he has nothing but praise for it. I have bought the same brand but upped the HDD storage. I have found that,from scratch,the LG has been very easy to use and the instructions are very easy to follow. The recording quality is very good but i have only used the XP setting for the quality as i have not recorded vast amounts that would require me to lengthen it to LP or more. The LG is respectably quiet and the only time that i hear it is when i switch the TV off for the night and then you can just make out the hum of the machine. It is a reasonable size but thin and very slick looking. The first set up is very easy as well as it virtually does it by itself. I have only used the HDD to record onto but i have used the DVD player to watch DVDs and that is as you would expect from any DVD player. I would recommend this item to anyone who has to buy a new recorder to replace a broken item or just needs to,as i had to,upgrade so that i they can carry on watching and recording after the Digital switchover. 27 of 28 people found the following review helpful

I bought this product to replace a very old Lite-on dvd recorder when my region recently switched over to digital. I've had it about a month now and am so far very impressed. Picture and sound quality are excellent which naturally was my main requirement. Setup was simple, just connected it to my Samsung TV using a HDMI cable and followed the on screen instructions.To configure the remote to operate your TV just follow the instruction booklet to the letter but don't expect to see anything on the screen while doing this as I did. It just works.
The HDD is huge and I haven't come close to filling it up yet, it will record about 250 hours in SP mode. The unit looks good and is very quiet and is unnoticeable while watching a recorded program on the TV.
One minor niggle is that the auto chapter setting which I've set at every 15 minutes only seems to work on the DVD drive and not on the HDD but maybe I'm doing something wrong there. You can set chapter marks manually using the remote.
All in all I'm very happy with the LG RHT599H and would recommend it.

This is a very nice looking unit that is easy to operate, playback and recording are both faultless.The unit can record and display at the same time but the picture is delayed by a few seconds and there is an ugly icon on screen when you are doing it.
With my previous PVR I watched everything on timeshift so I could rewind anything I missed, on this I don't use it at all due to the flaws.
The remote is cheap and plastic for this price of item.
