Here ya go - ignore all the pinky/purple (that doesn't happen -
it's just the camera and the crap pix) and for some reason
everything is shifted to the left a bit which wasn't happening
yesterday but it's only a 14" portable and I haven't a clue,
so I wouldn't shoot the PVR. Anyway, I'm sure this will all
mean more to you than it does to me!

There's probably a load more, but I'm sure there's enough to
give you an idea...


Thank you for that info / screen shots Keith, as a result I have
given it a go and placed an order tonight. You should be on
commission :-)


OK Gio, I hope you like it; if you post any observations on the
groups, please ensure to include ukra - I would be very interested
to hear your opinion. From viewing earlier this evening, I can
confirm that DVDs played through it ('AV in') suffer no loss of
quality at all, from what I can see! (Tested with Kill Bill Vol. 1
- the Okinawa sequence!)

One thing - hook it up and scan the stations in before you put an
HDD in it, or the machine will play dead!

Thanks for the tip Keith. With luck it will be delivered on Wed so
no report for a bit. It seems a little strange that the machine plays
dead when a drive is fitted. I would have thought the machine would
have set about formatting the new drive on boot-up then would have
been ready for tuning. By the way what is ukra ? The only thing I
know with those letters are The United Kingdom Rocket Association
(UKRA) as in www.ukra.org.uk/ If it means something else then you
will have to let me know because my isp does not list ukra on the
newsgroup list.

Just got one of these. The tuners are not very sensitive - I get
breakup on it but not on a BT Netgem on the same aerial and lead.

Biggest drawback found so far is NO subtitles!
