Thomson DHD4000

although I leave my dhd4000 on over night it is not receiving extended programe infomation it will show the currant program and the next one only can any one help. In all other aspects it is a great unit, I have had it for meny years and it has only just started this fault!

If you watch BBC1, then watch BBC2 you can go back to BBC1 and still rewind it, without setting a recording. You are able to watch the TV while reviewing the EPG. Have had good support when phoning about any issues. (Hard drive corrupted once, support was able to help me delete the data and have the drive fully functioning).

This Thomson Freeview box does the job nicely - definitely recommend it.

I bought my Thomson from Dixons but at a reduced price due to it being out of box with no remote or instructions, with the correct remote it can do a lot, even including subtitles. I think it's a class act and overall very reliable as mine is now about two years old.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - the DHD4000 isn't as ugly as people say - especially when its behind smoked glass TV cabinet, the blue LEDs are quite nice. Some say the internal fan and hum of the hard drive is noisy but its not a problem for most, again, especially when its in a cabinet.

A super piece of kit, most of the bugs ironed out except for the overheating problem.

I am in two minds as to whether the limited (about 14 hrs) recording time is a good or bad thing. It sure makes you keep up with your recordings! (or transfer them to another recorder whilst you are doing something else).

This Thomson DHD4000 is a high quality product I got on special offer from Argos so I'm well pleased, even though it has only 40gig. I had hoped that it would record from terrestrial & from Sky; not so, but that is my fault for not looking into it better, it does not detract from the quality & performance. I am still experimenting with the connections as I have a Sky box + a video/DVD combo attached too & the interaction via the scarts is not easy to foresee. Anyway buy one, if you can find one!

A great box and recorder. The Thomson DHD4000 really feels like Sky+ in a freeview form. You can feel this will be a product built to last, and it loves to be used. With websites by Thomson and home users out there supporting this, and with auto software updates overnight, it's a breeze to maintain and modify. This stands alone as a box that can give you a good range of enjoyment options for Freeview channels. If you find one out there, buy one!! Nothing can touch this.

After a few months, I was looking for a new freeview box because my Goodmans GDB3 had a mind of its own and just did everything but work properly. I read about the Thomson DHD 4000 hard drive recorder on the net and found it in my local Argos for £99, and I got it there and then.

Within 10 minutes of getting home I was making a cup of tea because it was such a breeze to set-up, and it didn't require any input from me after pressing OK. Menus, Recording, Sky+. The feel to it all and a clear picture and sound, put this box above the rest. With software upgrades and its own websites supporting it, you can't go wrong with one of these babies!!

I enjoy some good freeview now, and I have taken my old Goodmans GDB3, placed it in the road and I ran over it in my car to put it out of its misery!! ;-)

Just does the job very very well! All consumer goods should be this easy to use.

I'm sure in 5 years it will be out of date, but you can be 100% sure that nearlly every HD recorder around today, will also be out of date.

Stop worrying and buy it.
