Absolutely dreadful equipment. If Thomson go out of business they deserve to on this showing. It is unbelievably difficult to use: if you want to record something you can't just select it from the simplistic, pixelated EPG which is difficult to read and navigate, you have to go from there to the separate timer to programme the recorder. The buffer which should allow you to pause live TV doesn't work (although it pretends to). As soon as you press play again it just plays live TV, losing all of the intermediary broadcast.
If I had known it had absolutely no merit, and did nothing that it said on the box, I wouldn't have bought it. Thomson are an unreliable and untrustworthy brand, and I would encourage every consumer to avoid touching them with even a supersized bargepole.
Oh, I've thought of one redeeming feature: it redefines useless.
