Stunning KIt, By

Just bought this week and really impressed with unit. Teamed up with a KDL 32 Sony Bravia it really is recording well and the 6oo hours memory is going to be a godsend. The fan noise is nothing and if you sit and listen in a quiet room you may pick-up a very faint purring (seriously though our cat purrs louder and my tinitus takes over the rest lol). Brilliant kit and shall up-date review in three months time. 53 of 57 people found the following review helpful
Why the complaints? Mine is perfect!, By

Can't see why other reviewers got problems with this. I've had mine a while and it's great - picture quality is stunning (flawless upscaling of SD channels - even low bitrate ones like 4Music) and Freeview HD looks and sounds amazing - believe the hype!In response to other people's issues, maybe they have a faulty unit or something else is causing the defects, as mine has a pretty quiet fan (at normal seating distance), and a really nice, easy to use Sony style interface (matches my Bravia TV) and is reliable - every recording comes out perfectly with perfect start and end points and plays back responsively without glitches.
I thought I'd go for the 1TB version as 500GB really does run out of space quick (especially with HD films etc) and I'm always building a library of favourite shows/films. To someone like me who used to have a 100s of VHS tapes and then DVD-Rs cluttering up the place this is a godsend - 600hrs in one device!
In short... this is a must for serious telly addicts.

I bought this recorder because it gave us access to Freeview HD channels. It also upgrades to full HD whereas our previous Sony PVR only managed 1080i. Really pleased with the purchase. Picture quality is fantastic and fan noise is much lower than on the earlier model. Recording either by EPG or manual timer is really easy and it's great being able to record two programmes simultaneously. Can't comment on the storage capacity because so far there haven't been many programmes that I want to keep. But that's not Sony's fault!The only thing I miss from the previous recorder is the ability to burn programmes onto DVD but you can create infinite storage capacity by using external Hard Drives.
