DMR-HW120 Expected Better from Panasonic

Hi,

I bought one of these on offer for £179 and cant complain about the picture or the features but it has some quirks that i didnt expect from a Panasonic.

1, When pausing live TV it can take an age with 'Please Wait' on the screen before it actually pauses

2. you cant pause Live TV if you are currently recording the same programme

3. The unit can play other media via USB but not if you are recording anything at the time

Does anyone else have this box and what do you think?

Cheers.

Funnily, enough I just installed my 120 today. Quite impressed thus far apart one niggle -- when the box is in standby, if I'm close to the unit I can what I can best describe as a little bit of electrical chatter coming from it -- PSU or tuner noise. My other PVR kit doesn't do that. I turned-off rewind tv, in case it was HDD noise -- that changed the sound slightly. Dunno what I'm gonna do yet -- waiting on John Lewis to come back to me.

I always get the duff samples of anything that I buy ... Sigh.
