Good Points

The remote-control will also work our Sony TV

Bad Points

Everything else.

General Comments

Noisy, especially at first. The EPG took a few days to appear. If you use the EPG to record a named programme, it cuts the programme off one minute from the end.
As soon as the warranty expired, it claimed to have forgotten everything on its hard disk and then stopped working altogether.
A big disappointment from Sony.
