GREAT MONEY SAVER
This was my first DVD recorder. Its easy to use and has a great picture which can be adjusted to suit your own taste.
The upscale to HD is brilliant. Most HD pictures on Sky are upscaled. This little box does exactly the same thing for all channels.( including the ones fed through my Sky box). So over all a saving of £10 a month.
So if you have a HD ready TV and want HD channels and DVD's, go for it!!!.
Great Picture - Poor Scart Switching.
This is a fine piece of equipment.
Although sound tends to be a little below what you would expect, the excellent picture more than makes up for this.
One major draw back is the strange scart switching behaviour of the current range of Sony machines.
Switching seems to be reversed on these machines.
Overall, the fine picture and 250GB capacity make this an machine worth having.
Dissapointed and Disgusted
I ordered this item on 13th January 2008,that date has most certainly been unlucky I as yet have not received the item.
Amazon are still advertising the item as available and in stock, I have lost count of the amount of E Mails I have sent demanding an answer from them,I get auotomated replies from Amazon and the occasional name added to the response, but no commited answer from Amazon.
They have even taken the antisipated delivery dates off my account notification.
I have demanded a confirmed date, but I never get a reply.
The service is disgusting,they are advertising the product still, and I have asked many times for them to send the items they are advertising as in stock,no answer!! By the way, the item they now advertise is more expensive than the item I ordered, I think that tells you something "con" is the term I would use.
WHERE IS MY STUFF??????
