Advantages: Really easy to set-up and use.
Disadvantages: Unreliable

...I purchased the Liteon A740GX model in December 2006. It was my first DVD Recorder/HDD. I found this incredibly easy to set-up and incorporate with my SKY Digibox. The menu system and ease of use is fantastic. Even my wife (non-technical) has been able to use this comfortably.

We used it for several months without problems, recording to both the HDD and DVDs, and playing many DVDs - both commercial and home-burned. After about 8 months, the DVD suddenly stopped recognising blank DVDs. I took it back to Currys, who replaced it with the HD-A 740 GX model they then had in stock. This one works and does its job but has now had two new DVD drives fitted in just over a year. I really don't get this as Liteon have a great reputation for their optical drives in PCs! Anyway, aside from this, the 740 is a great DVD recorder - it can record to Dual-layer DVDs, has optical output for home cinema, can be firmware upgraded, and has a pretty decent - if complex...
