Sony VTX-D 800

nice to look at, lots of features

not always clear how to recored a series

Excellent picture quality on an old TV (following the switchover from analogue to digital). I had lost the remote and was able to get a substitute which functions very well.

None, really, in respect of the functions for which I bought it (switch to digital for a second TV). But for a main TV we find that a PVR is preferable.

easy to use, loads of features, best set-top box I've ever used. Can't understand why the good features from this box - the EPG, timer, jump button etc - haven't been incorporated in my new Sony TV .

slimline and sits perfect next to my tv and as with all my sony products reliable

none3

very easy to set up and use with sky like 7 day tv guide. Excellent picture and sound even through my aerial that's been up for 30yrs

Can only watch digital through scart, but that's nit picking!!

VERY GOOD

A brilliant product; easy to install and use; small footprint

No on/off switch. In days when we are told not to leave things on standby, we have no option - other than pulling the plug. Okay, the standby wattage is very small - but we are not told if the program retains its data if switched off. It seems to, but...

Very unobtrusive
