No Freeview Cheap but that's because it has no Freeview. Why anyone would want to sell a machine these days without Freeview is beyond me. Luckily I read the reviews first, so I shall not be buying this.
Avoid!! Ill get straight to the point, this is an AWFUL bit of kit, its painfully slow, records only when it feels like it and even then if it does record what you want it may just decide to randomly delete it at any time. Its also quite prone to freezing if you ask something complicated like changing channel to quickly. Oh and finally the picture quality is honestly so poor i don't know how it passed quality control!!
Dont buy it - Period! I bought the Belgian version of this device as it was on special offer, and 100 Euro cheaper than the Samsung one with the same spec. When I got it home i found out why. It crashes at the drop of a hat and having spent half a day trying to upgrade the firmware (I'm an electronics engineer so its not me!) I gave up.

Good basic dvd recorded with great memory This is my first dvd recorder with hard drive, the memory is great but it did seem a bit complicated to get started had a couple of deleted films before i mastered it. It is a bit quirky once you have recorded a film you need to turn the machine off and on again before you can edit the film putting the name on the recording. The machine is a bit slow but all in all i have rated it a 4 because it is alot less expensive that other machines out there and i think it is good value. I wanted to store films on it... more info
