Thomson 160gb digital TV recorder Review

I bought my freeview recorder five months ago and have been experiencing similar problems. It freezes on a weekly basis, has not recorded some programmes and usually misses the last five minutes off all Channel 4 recordings. Last week I lost my TV guide rendering the recorder useless and after reading these reviews was not at all hopeful that it would come back. I phoned the help line, they gave me a secret code and within 24 hours it was working again. It is worth calling the helpline to see if they can do anything, but I still wouldn't buy one again.
