Toshiba RD-85DT (160 GB) DVD Recorder / HDD Recorder

TERRIBLE PRODUCT.EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS MODEL.
1-IT GOT WRONG DIMENSIONS,IS TOO WIDE AND DEEP.YOU NEED EXTRA LARGE TV STAND FOR THIS.MY PANASONIC 28" TV STAND WOULD NOT TAKE IT.
2-EPG IS HARD TO READ,IT DIS-APPEARS WHEN YOU ARE PROGRAMMING.VERY HARD TO GET TO THE DAY YOU WANT.YOU HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.WHEN IT DIS-APPEARS.IT SHOULD NEVER DIS-APPEAR.
3-PICTURE QUALITY IS POOR COMPARED TO UNKNOWN BRANDS LIKE DIGIHOME(WHICH IS OUT OF THIS WORLD).
4-RECEPTION IS POOR.SOME CHANNELS PIXALLATING.
5-NOT VERY DURABLE.
6-POOR REMOTE CONTROL.
UNBELIEVABLE.A BIG NAME LIKE TOSHIBA.
DO NOT TOUCH IT EVEN WITH A BARGEPOLE.

Upgraded as it has got freeview - Unfortunately has no I-link for Camcorder, but was well worth the money we paid for it!

Great, haven't yet used the DVD player or writer, but the HD recorder is quick and simple just select the program you want to record in the EPG (electronic program guide) click okay and bang you got it, also has ability to time shift, so if you don't like adverts, set it off at the beginning of your favorite program, then start watching 15 minutes later and you can wiz through the adverts and pause for the inevitable toilet breaks!

Have manged to find the correct code to get the remote to work with my TV so only need one remote.

Only set back is that it has only one freeview channel, so have to switch back to the TV freeview tuner to watch one channel and record another.

Still going strong over a year later, and I havn't seen a beeter setup for the price!
