Pros & Cons
Pros
It does everything you would want and actually looks very nice and classy. Great picture quality from our standard aerial. Nice to buy a tech product that has been intelligently designed, and works smoothly.
First impression is that this is fantastic value for money. Not a major problem, just a minor irritation. Great wee box and well worth the money.
For recording an hd broadcast for later processing on a computer and then watching on tv, computer, ipad etc. For pause/rewind live tv all you have to do is plug the stick in and it recognizes that you have one in and you can use this function.
You have to order the channels yourself which is easy enough but time consuming. Use the up or down arrow key to highlight the desired channel. Press the ‘fav’ button and then select the category type to open your favourite channels list.
Cons
The timeshift function is not always active so you can't rewind live tv. Only recorded first hour of any programme. When you click on numeric pad to select channel to watch it comes up unable to use this function in record mode.
