I had the earlier version of this beast and it was superb, this one has become rather complicated compared to the old one. Using the TV guide is very slow in responding and annoying to say the least, you have to wait for it to catch up. In general it is slower all round on the menu's. Like the old one the simplest thing like finding and setting up favorites can be a a pain. On the old one just by pressing the blue button on the controller in the guide panel you could switch between favorites lists on this one you have to do it outside the guide and only comes up for a very short period of time when you have done something else. There is no direct contact for them which is rather silly.

I initially bought a Humax 5000 because it seemed to be the most popular recorder, despite my having had Panasonic equipment for many years. Unfortunately my Humax was faulty but I didn't realise that until I had been pressing all the buttons and trying to get it to work for a whole day!I then got the Panasonic because I had more confidence in the brand. I have not been disappointed. It was very easy to set up and does everything I want it to do. Recording off the TV Guide could not be easier. My only slight niggle is the time lag in response to pressing some of the buttons on the remote. You initially think it's not working - but it is.Overall I am very pleased.

Very easy to setup. Have been using the recorder for about 2 weeks and haven't had to read the instructions, yet!Get too many warnings about consecutive recordings and can only have 32 items set to record. Nowhere near enough if I'm going to be away for a fortnight.Recordings are compacted so when you delete an hour programme you only get back about 12 mins of available time but will really struggle to fill the 1TB HDD.Don't seem to be able to watch a recording at the same time as you go through the guide but you can jump to any time in the guide quite easily.Overall am reasonably happy but will probably go back to previous make when this recorder dies.

Have the previous model and so thought would know how to work it no problems?.Smart means a lot more functions which will take time to get to grips with.I am able to do the record and set timer and watch the programs.Connecting to WiFi networks require the assistance of my son's have been known to get things wrong.The functions this machine can do are unreal to myself and I look forward to the time when I can take full advantage of all the smart technology.Very pleased with my purchase and fast delivery.

Nice product but could do with a few refinements. Will record 2 programmes but that stops you watching another channel. Doesn't seem to allow you to see scheduled recordings which is annoying if you decide to cancel; also can't cancel a timed recording once it has started. Good points are fast responses to remote actions and able to shut down using just the one remote. Access to players are quick as well.

Small light weight unit, no clock on front display, records well, good picture, poor sound you will have to turn up tv volume, the EPG is poor not thought out very well, the EPG on my old Panasonic was much better, smooth and clear to run through it, also had jump to next day, this model doesn't have that feature. FreeView catch up is ok.In all a good machine let down on sound and the very poor EPG.

There may be better freeview recorders out there, but if you already have other Panasonic kit, the Viera link compatibility makes this a worthwhile purchase. Recording is simple, smart features easy to access, and picture quality is what you would expect from Panasonic. The program guide is a little on the slow and clunky side, but this is just a minor niggle.

It was easy to connect and mostly does what we want.Don,t like the size of print in the manual, small print and old eyes.We have found no way to fast forward through recorded adverts other than skip forward a minute at a time.Other than that WE ARE WELL PLEASED with it and we can ditch our second Virgin box.

So far so good, very annoyingly though the remote seems to operate on the same frequency as my Panasonic blue ray , meaning each time I switch on they both come on......Panasonic if you are reading this please let me know how to overcome.Thanks

Replaced our Virgin box, lost one programme that we used to look at once/twice a month, saving £28 per month so the outlay will be soon paid for and so a great saving there after.Easy to set up and use.

I bought this to replace my old Humax Freesat box but this Recorder is ok for me but it slow to read the Guide and pause playback recordings unless lm happy with my order

Panasonic have the best products on the market, with great functionality and easy controls. This is my third machine and I can't fault them.

No issues with this Device. Quick menus (maybe things have improved since earlier models and other reviews). Good value for money.
