Hi guys,

I'm looking to replace my current setup (Humax PVR9300T & WDTV) and i was hoping to get some opinions.

Ideally i want one box to do the following for under £300;

1. HD Freeview.
2. Twin-Tuner recording.
3. On Demand service - BBC iPlayer, ITV Player & 4oD.
4. USB playback - avi, mp4, mkv.
5. Media Streaming - wired or wireless.
6. Blu-ray/DVD playback - not essential.

The Samsung BD-F8500M looks perfect but the reviews are shocking.

Anything to look forward to in 2014?

The reviews on Amazon aren't too startling but I've seen worse reviews than these

Thanks Mac.

In fairness to Samsung most of the negative reviews on Amazon focused on menu navigation rather than functionality - maybe that is the way to go.
