Easy as to setup and the difference in quality of picture is like night and day, even shortland street looked good. Am going to try recording to a usb drive tonight and try playing some mp3s. |

| 784701 | 2009-06-24 06:57:00 | One thing with the JC Matthews boxes is that unless you use it, turn off instant rewind (or whatever it's called). I've found that when using this, which is enabled by default whenever a drive is in the USB port, the whole thing turns to molases, now/next epg starts playing up, and whatnot. Sometimes channels just stay blank. Other than that, they're ok. If you want to, you can get the recorded files to play back on a PC, though it helps of you have a good setup (HD takes a bit o grunt to play back). |

Good luck trying to find any electronics not now made in china :2cents: :2cents: -exceptions may be expensive Euro made stuff, no guarantee of increased reliability with euro manufactured gear thou..... |
