VERY well speced. Performance of the unit is just excellent.
I received this in replacement for my faulty dvdr3450H which was - frankly - rubbish and kept breaking down all the time, so avoid them like the plauge!
Video is sharp and clear when recorded from analogue or freeview
and it works nicely with both sky and cable tv.
Pauses live tv, has progressive scan and will upgrade normal dvd
to high definition 1080 for use on your nice HD TV. Checked this out with my original Lord of the Rings and Star Wars dvd's and he results were just excellent ! Sound through my Kenwood / Mission / Eltax home cinema set up was just superb.
You can even skip commercials when you play back programmes from hard drive, record onto both - and + dvd blanks (both R & RW) so no format worries and it will play DIVX as smooth as glass.
It has full media jukebox system which allows you to store music, video and photos onto the hard disc,can record in numerous qualities from the maximun ( looks as good as hdtv broadcasts ) or seriously long play (about the same quality as a 4 head vhs on long play) and will store 180 hours of video.
Works well with footage from your video camera too.
