Philips HDTP8540 500GB

Easy to use

Turning on & off sometimes it has a mind of its own

Can only record off free view cannot record off any other devices, Sky box etc

Not as good or easy to use as previous model. It also feels very flimsy in comparison

Good picture

very basic machine no quality bits or bells, Needs New software or better machine

double tuner, so you can record 2 channels. does what i want for a one off payment

when browsing through recorded programes it opens the icon as if youve watched recording, would be better if they didnt open untill selected
