Hi mary12.
well i got one and although there are not so many hd channels,
everything else is ok.
they are easy to update,well supported and with freeview built in you get quite a bit for your money.
a couple of things that i don't like are the size of the box, its big compaired to my 1500 and they put the bloody usb port on the front so you have an unsightly cable stuck out of it (for the hard drive pvr).
why the hell they could not put a hard drive mount inside is beyond me.
anyway there you go i hope this helps you decide weather to buy or not.

all the best.........................deggsy
