Our old VCR broke ages ago, and we never bothered replacing it, as we could watch DVDs on the playstation, and there never seemed to be anything on worth watching!

However, we decided it was about time we replaced the old VCR, and this seemed the best option. Once we'd managed to get it all tuned in and working, it was great, but getting there was a bit of a hassle.

Firstly not all channels would work (in particular ITV channels didn't work). Then when we did get them working, a lorry would drive past and it would all be messed up again (and a lot of lorries drive past our house!). After a few software upgrades, a bit of aerial fiddling, and a lot of patience, it does now work perfectly, all channels.

Now it does work, it's very useful, you can record two things at once, or record on one channel and watch another, which is great when there are people in the household with different tastes! The TV guide is also really easy to use, and you just need to highlight the program you want to record and press ok.

You can also record whole series of programmes in a similar way, which is great when you always want to watch something which is on in the middle of the night. We do record quite a lot of stuff, and have had no problems with it getting full.

This would have got 5 out of 5, except for all the problems getting it to work in the first place, but they may have made improvements so this no longer happens. Also, I think it depends on what area of the country you live (and which TV mast you use). I don't think distance from the mast helps, because we can see our local mast (Emley Moor) from our living room window, and it didn't help us.
