Good Points

This box does exactly what it says it will. Have had it operational for a month and has only crashed once (didnt come out of Standby) which simply required a power cycle. The pause of live TV works very well. It plays divx files directly from a USB drive with no problems. The picture quality is very good. Operation of the box is very easy and the remote is easy to navigate.

Bad Points

You do need to keep the box powered on at all times (in stadby it doesnt use too much electric) Be prepared to wait a full night for the EPG to download over the air. The single digital tuner means once recording starts you cannot watch another digital channel, but at the time of buying (04/08) i couldnt find another box with this much functionality that had two digital tuners. You select recordings via the EPG (not by time scheduling), the box decided the time window for the recording which has meant a few times missing the end of programmes which has proven annoying. Start up time from standby does take around 30-50 seconds, annoying but you get used to it.
