My review on the Samsung DVD-SH897M

Advantages: very easy use
Disadvantages: bit on the expensive size

this has to be my best DVD player i have ever bought in my life! it has everything i need, massive 320 GB memory for all my recording needs i can record hours and hours of TV shows that i would hate to miss but i can record and a touch of a button. I love the way the DVD player is so simple to use and can be worked with ease (not like my grandmas DVD player, i'm going to smash that thing up ) all the buttons are clearly laid out and easy to see. ...
...in and it's so simple to get it started up and playing. the DVD player has a sleek design that looks good in any modern house. i would definitely recommend this to anyone who would like a good DVD player and is always out at work missing there favorite TV shows and would like to watch them another time. the DVD player is nearly £300 which could turn most people away but this is because it has a massive (320GB hard drive) which is why the price gets ...

...Where to buy The Samsung DVD – SH893 Recorder can be bought from most electrical stores, and many online websites. Alike most things I buy, I bought mine from Amazon. It can be bought from Tesco and larger Asda stores, Curries, Comet, Barlows, eBay and of course, Amazon. It can also be found on the online websites of these shops, if you don’t want to go out to buy it, or live a long distance from any of these places. Some websites even offer ...

My black box.

Advantages: Great picture and sound quality and easy to use.
Disadvantages: None really.

...choice this time was the LG RHT497H, I purchased this about four weeks ago for a little over £180 and have so far enjoyed using it and the picture quality it serves up is excellent. I should probably give a mention to the TV I have it attached to before I go much further just so as you know exactly what I am using and then you do not expect the same picture quality from a 14 inch CRT portable. My TV is a Samsung next generation 63 inch crystal plasma ...
...for someone else. The LG RHT497H has a built in freeview tuner but can of course be linked up to Sky or Cable services allowing you to record from those instead, the recorder is also HD so it is capable of recording HD images from the HD channels should you have them, I have recorded Sky Sports in HD and it looks every bit as good played back as it does straight from the live presentation. The recorder as well as being very impressive working wise ...

Samsung DVD recording devices

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Configuration lost on power failure, timeshift function only works on the aerial!

Have just bought a Samsung DVD-SH895. This, and I'm advised by Samsung UK, and any Samsung recording device has one serious fault - on power failure the configuration is not saved and the device will reset to its default settings. In other words the system clock will reset to Jan 01 2000 0h 0m 0s and any recordings you set will not happen. This particular device also has another fault that you'll not find in the User Manual. The "Timeshift" function ...
...a satellite connection and you're watching it and the phone rings you can't use this function to record the programme and then come back to where you left off. It's a shame as in all other respects this is a good recorder. I'm in the process of returning the DVD recorder as I don't think it's fit for purpose. ...

You DON'T get what you pay for!

Advantages: VCR Playback and Recording, Design, Ease of Use, DVD Playback
Disadvantages: Dozens of internet forums reguarding issues with it, Severe reliability issues, No RGB Scart input

I've owned the Bush DVHRS02 for a few years now. In this review I will tell you what I think of it. For a start the VCR is very good with great pictures both recording and playing back. The deck looks quite expensive (it is) and the remote is easy to use, responsive and well thought out. The player is easy to make region free and the menu system is a doddle to use. Finally, DVD Playback is good via RGB Scart. However this deck has a major flaw, it's ...
...find dozens of forums reguarding problems with it. It's always freezing, Crashing, Forgetting to Record or not displaying recordings on a DVD. The DVD recordings look poor as well. The input scart can't accept RGB and there's no Composite output. The unit isn't cheap either at over £200! Overall even if the deck gets off to a good start with playback quality and a decent VCR this is all destroyed by the reliability problems and poor quality DVD Deck. ...
