Samsung DVD-SH853M

spec, design, price.

crashes a lot, lots and lots of bugs and design flaws.

It is complicated to operate. Once I managed to record programmes I discovered that when I clicked OK on the required programme it recorded the previous programme. I shall never buy any electrical item on line as there is no satisfactory help line. I...

happy with the product, great having hdd instead of messing around with discs.

naming the programme is laborious, would be better if there was a quicker way to do it. design is a bit boxy, would have been nicer a bit sleeker

Attractive, good brand, easy to use after installation

Difficult to install with a range of other appliances such as sky box, stereo, surround sound etc., poor installation instructions, hdmi not great

Easily use of controls to set up recording and playback features

Only gives dates and times not programme title

It is so simple to programme the DVD to record something, just click on the compehensive listings what you want to record and that's it!

Instructions are not always that simple to follow. If you are recording then you can't watch a different Freeview programme at the same time through the DVD unit.

ease of use and ablr to record whilst watching a dvd

very poor quality recording. the image freezes frequently and jumps. Most recordings are unwatchable. The aerial is not the issue as it is brand new and has been tested by independent people.

Very difficult to use. Why can't it be as easy to use as Sky+

Lots of features, Its a Samsung, so quality. Looks neat and fair price.

I am no technophobe, but I find it fiddly to use. The main reason for buying the Samsung was to sync with my Samsung TV. You can't even sync the remotes. Occasional loss of picture, but could be signal issue.
