This is a great product, but it does have a few glitches.

I love the huge hard drive, no worrying if you have enough space on the dvd/disc for recording all your shows.

Easy to set up for recording if you set it to download the programming from your provider.

Mine makes an error on my channel lineup, it downloads the wrong channel for my location. I get details for a shopping channel not the actual available programming, but this, luckily is a channel I don't watch.

Also several channels are downloaded with times from the wrong time zone, rebooting or clearing and downloading programming again does not correct the problem. This is frustrating as setting up a timed recording is more time consuming to do than just clicking on the show in the line up.

My cable box shows the correct lineup and times of shows.

It also occasionally will record the wrong channel. Two minutes before recording starts the system selects the channel it will record, then again as it starts recording it will reselect the channel. Many times at this second selection it chooses the wrong channel ( 2 instead of 12 for example). This can be frustrating. It cannot be the infra red you set by the cable box being in the wrong location or it would not have selected the correct channel first time around. You see the correct channel momentarily, then it changes to the wrong one.

Sometimes, it just does not to record the show at all, and gives an error message of "Recording was stopped by the system. Reason: Error has occured / stopped recording".

This recording of the wrong channel and / or no recording has been very frustrating at times.

Overall, I do like the item.
