Well Keith,

I must be a 'secondary user' ( fathers, people with learning
difficulties) tell your #1 son. I been and bought one this afternoon.


Kills me the way he doesn't actually say 'it'll be plenty good enough
for you' but I can usually tell he's thinking it!! :-)


Brought it home, set it up first (as you recommended)


Yes, the manual's a little vague on that - like it doesn't mention it at
all!!


then added hdd
and formated it, and I have to say I'm impressed! It'll do for my
needs I only need to view one channel and record from another.


Me also...


Thanks again for all your info.


You're welcome and I hope it continues to do the trick - the only raised
eyebrow I've had is having hit the OTR button to finish a programme this
afternoon (default 2 hours), when I got in a little earlier this evening
the little bugger was beavering away some 5 and a half hours in and
still going like a good 'un! Not the end of the world, but I hope it
doesn't do it too often!!?? Anyway, I shall shortly hook the S-Video
output up to my digital PJ and check that out - if it's OK, it's going
to save the cost of a telly bigger than my 14" portable! (Bedroom
setup!)
