Sony SVRS500 Freeview Dtv Receiver 106-HOURS Video Recorder
User Reviews of the Sony SVRS500 Freeview DTV Receiver / 106-Hours Video Recorder
Not too bad but nothing special. Essentially it works ok. But...
Notable problems are a fairly noisy hard drive which is constantly spinning (even on standby). Possibly not a problem if you are keeping it in an enclosed cabinet.
The EPG is a bit of a let down. It only displays one channel at one time rather than a multi-channel display. This is a shame as Sony have done a good job in the past of EPG's on some of their TV's. Also no now & next view.
Time lag between pressing a button on the remote and the on-screen display acknowledging the button press is unnecessarily lengthy and frustrating.
In all, dissapointing as I have a number of other Sony products and having a common remote would have been nice. Try another brand.
