Customer Rating:      Summary: A brilliant product from Sony Comment: This is the future of any home theatre. Make the right math and you will realize how this is a bargain: a decent spec PC, Blu-Ray player, Freeview recorder, MP3 jukebox... Virtually silent and very stable. Windows Media Centre works flawlessly and the product appearance is unquestionably wife friendly. Top notch Blu-Ray playback quality and support to all the latest novelties on the hi-def front.
Sony has done a fantastic job in putting this together, but you should bear in mind the following:
* It is a computer, hence some tweaking will always be necessary
* No subtitles on Freeview (apparently this is Microsoft issue)
* Only one tuner, so no chance to watch a different channel whilst recording, although you can play music, other videos or surf the web
Copy restriction on CDs and area codes on Blu-Ray and DVD are a bit annoying. Buy the excellent AnyDVD from SlySoft and all gets sorted very easily.
