Not bad for the price of a curry (and beers) for two, I'd say - given
the
HDD has laid about unused for a couple of years!!



Not bad at all :-) and thanks for the posting. I just want to see if
I can
use my all in one remote to control the basic functions then I will be
happy
because the supplied handset does seem -in my case- to be very
directional.

You had me checking - just now, mine worked pointed up at the ceiling,
standing virtually behind the telly and pointing to a door opposite the
telly, from outside the room out of sight of the telly and directly off
to one side of the telly (180 deg.) at about 2m distance!

It couldn't be *less* directional!!
