second time lucky

(3 out of 5) by Dean M. Pine on Feb 4, 2009 (wales u k.)
we were pleased with this item at first,but then it kept freezing up.The only way to get any response from it was to switch off at the mains.I gave it six weeks to impress me but no luck ,I have now had a replacement and it seems to be going fine so fingers crossed,We chose this unit because it is very quiet when running ,no fan noise and no overheating.

Sony RDR-HXD890 Freeview+ 160GB Hard Disc Drive DVD Recorder - Silver

An excellent product but hampered by poor instruction manual. Sony could well put some more effort into producing a user-friendly manual, especially with regard to setting up the machine. The instructions for the remote control could also be clearer and more specific.

Sony Hard Drive Recorder

(5 out of 5) by Cd Ohalloran on Jun 27, 2009 (Windlesham, Surrey)
This is a fantastic piece of kit. This is the 3rd one I have bought, this one was a present for a relative. This recorder has everything in it, DVD player, DVD recorder, freeview, hard drive recorder, photo storer, jukebox, it upscales DVD's to near HD quality, shame it doesn't make the tea. I can not recommend this product higher.

After several problems with a previous purchase, (Amazon not at fault), we now have a product worth buying. Excellent model, good clear and sharp vision.

Well worth 4 stars

(4 out of 5) by M. Webb on Apr 6, 2009 (Derbyshire, UK)
The product arrived and it took mere minutes to set it up. It took approximately 24hrs to be fully ready to use as it downloaded programmes. The only issue i had with it was that i was expecting to be able to use the guideplus function however following many emails to help centres i found out my system would not accept it. Given that i am still very happy with the product.
