Advantages: Digital Freeview Tuner (When it works) Disadvantages: Slow , Unresponsive , Eats DVD's !!
...second unit failing changed to Goodmans ... How wrong was I , I should have kept well clear .
This thing has only ever written successfully to about 3 disks out of over 100 ! , yes thats a 3% success rate , I kid you not .
I have thrown dvd's from Tesco's , Svp comms & even TDK Mega expensive ones into it & it doesn't recognise any . It throws them back as full , Or says they are not DVD's !!
I had resorted to using the one that came with it , ... ...with , So I mailed Goodmans tech support (Big Joke!) asking what brand disk it was shipped with as I would buy them because it seemed to work at least 70% of the time . They couldn't even tell me what brand disk it had shipped with & told me that I had to format the disks !!! , What planet are they from ... The machine sets them up as soon as you put any new disk in .
The Tuner find some of the stations some of the time , the picture is very blocky ...
