I want to replace my Phillips hdd recorder /dvd player with a freeview hd+ recorder and blue ray/dvd player. I was thinking of buying a samsung bd-f8500m but read a lot of bad reviews on it. Can anyone suggest a good easy to use reliable model.
The things im looking for are

1 Freeview hd (most important)
2 Blue ray/dvd player
3 The ability to record more than one channel at once ( not essential but would be nice)
4 The ability to remote record from a mobile (again not essential)

Many thanks

My advice would be to buy separate Freeview+ and blu-ray boxes, you will get much more choice and if one breaks it is easier to replace.

I would agree, putting all your eggs in one basket is never a good idea - and tends to be VERY expensive anyway.

Panasonic are the leaders here, Sony and Phillips don't even get a look in.
Twin HD Freeview tuners, bluray/DVD recorder & player, programmes can be recorded as delivered, broadcast quality and then burnt with no loss in quality to disc.
