Have had problems with youview, just bought a 2tb samsung m3 USB powered HDD to use as a PVR with my samsung f7000tv.
2 days in and records seem to happen ok - you can only record one channel at a time (despite having twin tuners).
The most annoying thing is notifications! When I'm watching another channel or hdmi (youview recordings) or playing ps3 (hdmi2) I am bombarded with notifications (if a scheduled recording is near) that stay on screen for 2 mins or so UNLESS you answer a multiple choice question of:
'do you want to check that this programme will record by actually retuning to the channel? YES / NO
Or CANCEL recording
It's very prominent and is enough to forget using the tv as a PVR. Hilariously, if you do click YES and switch back to where u were before, you get a third notification bottom left notifying you AGAIN that the recordng really is recordng!
You have o stop watching a bluray / paying ps3 or watching a other channel / recordng to press NO!
