  • Sounds good value, but read the review posted on the HN site first.

    • A bit tough to judge a product on the basis of one review. I don't own the unit myself, but for all we know it could be a case of user error or RTM.

  • The Panasonic version of this are very good.

    • "UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED FINALLY!! A few weeks ago the repair place that was constantly stuffing me around has gone into receivership. No surprise. However, the guy from Samsung that was there sorting out all the Samsung goods which were left behind at the repair place told me that it turns out the issues are to do with some changes that were made with the way Freeview is broadcast of which Samsung (and potentially other manufacturers) were not aware of. Note that it was NOT the Samsung help Desk that told me about this-they knew nothing about it. I just luckily bumped into the right person. He told me a new firmware would be out soon, which I downloaded as soon as it came out, and what do you know, it now works perfectly! So I have been using for a few weeks now and would give the unit 4 stars. "

    • Hope it's ok, my parents bought one.

  • I have one, and bought it for a hell of a lot more than this (599 I think) and it is not without its issues… had to take it samsung twice as it had power issues… kept powering up and down by itself, took them a couple of goes to find the problem, but after sales service is good for samsung products, especially if you live near service centre. Since then besides some of it's apps freezing and needing a firmware update in the middle of a tv series, i have had no issues with it…
