SWMBO was complaining about the lack of quality on the BBC1 terrestrial picture (we live in a bad signal area) and knowing that the analogue would be switched off withing a couple of years I took the plunge after some research on here and a bit of Googling and opted for the Sagem PVR6280T Freeview Receiver with 80GB Hard Drive and Seven Day EPG.
Initial reaction was surprise at how small it was and even more surprise at how very easy it was to set up. OK I admit I had to tweak the loft aerial a tad to get a 50% signal with 98% quality but having done that everything else was easy peasy. Not only that it is very easy to use, so far I have not come across anything too complicated, If I was to be critical of anything I would say the instruction 'leaflet' leaves a lot to be desired and would give a technophobe the screaming habdabs. The lcd channel number display is primitive and displays a couple of letters which are not explained anywhere in the leaflet.
Apart from that a nice little tidy Freeview receiver with good quality playback from hard drive.
