I like to see a list of forthcoming programs for the night rather than having to scroll horizontally across each channel.

I suspect scheduling is all in non volatile ram as mentioned above, which makes fixing this pretty much a no go. One annoying thing with it is that it needs about 4 button-pushes to get the list of recorded material. The aerial loop through means that you can still use an existing tuner in your TV as well, should you wish. They have obviously fixed this probalm as I have the box in my bedroom and have never noticed any noise and I have perfect hearing! To be honest we have tried leaving the box connected to mains power and this has resolved the problem for us.

Despite arriving with a bent RF aerial input socket backplate, probably caused by a knock during transit (packaging inadequate), there were no major problems and setting up was extremely easy. The remote control is user friendly too making the overall viewing experience easy and trouble free. In all very simple, so far very reliable except in poorest weather but that is mainly down to my aerial.

Recordings frequently stop at the first advert break espite the recording schedule showing the correct start/stop times.
