Good Points: Many features packed in eg. record from firewire/ilink digital sound output many recording formats supported, editing of recordings and handy disk tools to delete old files

Bad Points: Does not pick up programme names on a recording, misses start or end of recordings, thumbnail picture does not relate to programme recorded, cannot playback one programme while recording another, and in my case a number of faults which may or may not be design faults eg fails to stop recording, fails to properly turn off/on,

General comments: Packed with features but because of some fundamental problems not usable. Particularly annoying is its inability to playback one programme while starting to record another and its failure to put the correct names of programmes on its recordings and the correct thumbnails on recordings. Consequently when you have 200 recordings finding things is tricky and putting your own text in to name recordings takes ages. I also find the user interface rubbish because similar actions work different ways in different places. It is like trying to use Windows with six different ways to select text depending where you are.
