    Since digital nudge at start of november does not pick up main bbc channels (bbc1, bbc2, bbc news24) from winter hill transmitter.

    Bought one of these machines 2yrs ago and it has served me well (certainly in comparrison to the new DVR's). Simple to use, easy menus to follow.

    Bought 4 of the Sharp TU-R160H machines as presents and have had to return 3 of them as they are riddled with faults - freezing up, not recording when programmed to do so, `phantom` recordings, switching recording days, the problems are too numerous and varied to mention as all these machines seem to have a mind of their own! Think Sharp should have perfected this model before unleashing it to the public, shame really because on the rare occasions they did work correctly the simplicity of use wo ...

    The Sharp TU-R160H Personal Video Recorder has 160gb of recording memory and two digital tuners giving you the ability to record one channel whilst watching another. Although the front panel is stylish it is a basic machine without all the extra features.
