A wonderful piece of kit
OK, so it's expensive, but in my opinion it's worth it. For your money, you get 250GB of hard disk, a DVD recorder that handles all the major formats (except DVD-RAM), a freeview receiver and a pretty decent EPG.

Having been a Sky user in the past, I think the EPG is the only disappointment for me, but I suspect that compared with Sky's EPG anything would disappoint. Certainly the one on this device is better than any I've used, other than the Sky one. (My slight gripe is very simple: why does the EPG always have to take up the whole screen? I want to know what else is on while still watching what I'm watching).

Otherwise, it lets me record hundreds of hours of TV with very high quality, it lets me copy my camcordered DV tapes onto DVD with ease, it lets me pause live TV, watch one recorded programme while recording another and many other wondrous things.

One other thing: it's quite a techy piece of kit - I wouldn't buy it for your grandma unless she knows the difference between Scart, RGB and HDMI. However, this does mean it seems to be one of the most future-proofed DVD / HDD devices around.

AMAZING MACHINE
I bought this machine from Amazon about a month ago and all i can say is it's fantastic. It's simple to use, editing is quick and easy, transferring video tapes was straightforward, I personally think it's damn close to perfect.

Disappointing
Bought an HXD910 in Early February, after 5 weeks of use it went wrong - became permanently stuck in "Recovery" mode.
It had the annoying tendency after playing CDs to revert to putting broadcast soundtrack through the audio channels once the CD had stopped. Its response time to controls from the remote seemed rather sluggish. The EPG implementation on the tuner was less user friendly than on the Sony standalone Freeview box.

Did not seem like good value for money to me.
