It's good - with the new software. You MUST update it
By Nicholas J. Henning
This machine has been marked down by people frustrated by the slightly dodgy first attempts at software and features appaently not appearing, such as iplayer and lovefilm.Well, I would like to report that my initial experience of using this machine is very positive.When you first set it up, make sure you have a decent internet connection - either through wifi or the ethernet wire link. It will check for new firmware during the setup and ask you if you want to update. Say YES!!!!The latest version at the time of writing is 1.008. It was dowloaded and installed without fuss.I can report that all of the features now seem to be present. You dowload the apps (including iplayer, lovefilm, facebook, twitter etc. etc.) from the samsung store. They are all present, I think - and they work!The picture quality using Freeview HD is excellent - it's breathed new life into my ageing Sony X-series TV. The player has the latest HDMI spec but didn't complain at all when faced with the old spec on my TV. And because it's got twin tuners, you can use it as a set-top box and still record a different channel at the same time.The SD (normal freeview) picture does seem a little noisy, as has been reported before, but not excessivly so - I guess I am used to the more advanced noise reduction options on the X-series. On this box there are no SD picture tuning options. Would be nice to have them, but on a machine that can do so much already, it would probably just confuse matters.It does score highly for ease of use - while playing with it, I decided that my wifi link wasn't good enough (not the fault of the player, it has to go through two floors and a wall in my house), so I set up a pair of TP-link power line ethernet adapters (30 quid from amazon) and plugged the ethernet cable into the samsung box. It automatically detected the cable and asked me if I wanted to set up a wired internet link. Two button presses later, it was happliy accesssing the internet through the dodgy wiring of of my 150 year old house! Marvellous!The HDD recording feature works well, even for HD video. Accessing the system via the menu system isn't as slick as, say, the Sony X-bar system. But it is clear and fuss free. It is easy to use.I havn't tried the wifi direct links or any of the nice tricks for sharing content with your phone yet, but this all looks pretty straight forward.So, to conclude. Excellent picture quality. Ease of use. Responsive menu system. Excellent connectivity. Loads of facilities to allow you to watch listen to and store video and audio content. It will even rip cd's for you!It's a good machine! But to get the best out of it, make sure that you give it a good internet connection.

Buggy
By Peter
On paper this looks superb but it does not function well and many of the features advertised are simply not there.If power is lost, the recording schedule goes, so don't unplug. I had a problem where a DVD froze up inside it (no message, just black screen for 10 minutes) and the only way to sort it out was to unplug - so back to rescheduling recordings.Advertising, even on the box, shows iplayer, lovefilm, google maps and others - none of these were loaded. Samsung said they were still in testing for release at a later date...hmmm"Remote access from anywhere in the world by smartphone or PC", well, no actually. Doesn't currently exist. Samsung helpdesk knew nothing about it. I wouldn't hold your breath."Dual screen viewing through a Samsung smartphone" - did work (if both on the same router) and quite cool really, but then after my Galaxy S2's upgrade to ICS, it stopped working.Picture in Picture never worked.Constant error messages that don't really tell you anything and no corresponding explanation in the manual.Mine recorded ok if I started live ie whilst watching it. But no scheduled recordings worked at all, just an error message saying it failed to record. After calls to the help desk, resets and fumbling around, I sent it back. In my opinion it just does not feel ready for release.The picture quality was fantastic and it did seem to upscale SD well. Feature-wise, it's currently unmatched, it's just they haven't quite got it sorted out yet.

A digital video recorder that doesn't record video. It is digital though...
By Martin Smith
This is a desperately disappointing product. The feature list promises so much, and fits what I was looking for perfectly, but unfortunately a combination of bug-ridden software, daft and lazy design decisions and a slow and badly thought our interface instead make it next to useless.There are good points - the image quality both from Blu Ray and freeview HD is superb, and the ability to plug external storage in via USB (and apparently record to, although I have't tried this) makes the rather stingy hard drive size less important. The number of audio and video file formats it's capable of playing is gobsmacking!However, there are far too many bad points. The main one of these is that the latest firmware from Samsung (which your box will automatically install unless you tell it not to) has broken scheduled recording - the box is simply not capable of recording a program in the future, unless you manually set the start and end times, rather than selecting it from the EPG. This is an issue that appears from various forums to be universal, and although Samsung have said they are working on a fix, they haven't given an ETA. Basically, if you buy this, DO NOT upgrade the firmware from v1003 to v1005 - wait until a new one has been released.You can find more information and get the latest status from this forum: [...]The other issues are less severe, but together mean I'll be returning this product even if the recording issue is fixed. First, the support is awful - closed tickets without an answer, a dozen people with the same issue being told a dozen different things - basically the standard from Samsung, from what I've not been told.There are currently no apps for BBC iPlayer of LoveFilm - they are in development apparently. But again, no ETA, although not Samsung's fault on this occasion.The list of things the box won't let you do when recording 2 channels is as extensive as it is inexplicable - view the EPA, access settings, use any apps... Not problems I've seen with any other DVRs - its almost as if their developers just couldn't be bothered to make things work and released it anyway.Rewind live TV simply does not work - so technically its not a freeview + box.As far as I can tell, the interface for the DVR, the Blu-ray player and the Smart hub were all created by different teams, who never met or saw each other's work, let alone tried to co-ordinate it! And none of them are any good... Buttons do different things, nothing looks the same and generally its quite clear they've never tested any of it with users. And the weird, inconsistent interface leads to unrecoverable mistakes - for example if watching TV that has been paused, simply hitting the guide button to see what else is on etc drops you back into that channel live - there is no way of recovering the gap between where you were and where you are, and no warning. To be fair, designing interfaces is my job, so I am more sensitive than most to this kind of thing - you may not find it quite as annoying. If, like me, you are upgrading from a Humax box though I suspect you'll be equally annoyed, as all the parts of the interface you're used to are different and worse - but seem similar at first!In fact, bearing in mind it doesn't actually record video, I rather suspect they've never actually tested anything!Such a great idea. But sadly, really quite an awful product.It may well get better with revised firmware - it really seems to have been rushed out far too fast. And there is nothing else out there with the same feature list. But for the same price you can get a decent freeview HD box and a Blu-ray player, which is now my plan!
