1 out of 5 stars why pay for 2 tuners?   September 2, 2010
Roger Yorkshire
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought one of these 3 weeks ago. On first use i thought it was first class...... but on using it further i found a fatal flaw. On recording two programs, then recording another two programs following on from the first ones, ON REPLAY YOU MISS 2 MINUTES OFF THE ENDS OF THE FIRST RECORDINGS WHILE THE MACHINE SETS UP THE FOLLOW- ON TWO PROGRAMS. I contacted Panasonic about this, asking if a download could be sent to put this flaw right. They said that all their models did this and it could not be altered. If panasonic put this fact into their information specification then no one would buy one ..... SO THEY HIDE THIS FACT BY OMITTING IT. I spent 2 months looking and reading up on which PVR to buy and nowhere did i find anything about this fact. My advice to anyone thinking of buying one of Panasonic,s Free-view PVR is DONT. IT DOES NOT DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX.


1 out of 5 stars Could only receive BBC   July 5, 2010

I have always received freeview without any problems and checked I was in an area to receive Freeview HD, but on plugging the machine in it only tuned into BBC channels. I rang panasonic and they said because it had twin tuners problem was probably with signal strength.Had to send it back.I am now afraid to buy another freeview HD box, would be interested if this has happened to anyone else.


5 out of 5 stars Disappointed at first + UPDATE   June 5, 2010

I already own the XS-350 freesat model from last year but wanted more recording options, to save the hassle of installing another two satellite cables, thought the option of freeview hd would be a wise choice, unfortunately it wasn't, as a normal freeview twin tuner recorder it would be great but it's the hd side that falls short especially compared to freesat, firstly is the extremely poor sound on the hd channels, they are very quiet, half the volume of freesat but secondly and more annoying is the poor quality picture on itv hd, on freesat the true hd programs look stunning but on the freeview equivalent it seems all programs are just upscaled, resulting in a picture that looks very poor in comparison to freesat, also the itv hd logo that appears in the corner of the screen on a true hd program on freesat is strangely absent on the same program on freeview, on a positive note though, ch4 hd is a plus which looks excellent, if itv can sort this problem out on freeview hd or possibly a panasonic fault that needs sorting with a firmware update, this could be a very good recorder, i am thinking of returning it for a refund but bbc hd and ch4 hd are fine, so i just don't know?

*UPDATE*

After my initial disappointment, itv have finally fixed the picture problem on it's hd channel and i must say the picture looks marvellous, if the broadcasters can increase the volume on the hd channels, it would make this machine a 5* product.

*UPDATED* on 4/9/10

After 3 months of owning this unit, the volume level looks to have been resolved, the hd channels are now on par with the sd channels plus they are output in 5.1 through the hdmi connection to an appropriate amp, so overall i'm very happy with the performance, enough in fact to have upgraded to the blu-ray model.


Cool
