Review of DishTV satBox S7070r

Brought this the other day and just sharing some thoughts:

Pros

• It uses Freeviews Mheg-5 EPG (and adds new Freeview channels automatically)
• I love the recording - it can record a channel then you can watch another channel on the same mux (so record a TVNZ channel and watch the others), also you can start recording then start "chasing" the recording.
• You select programs to record from the EPG
• HDMI (only 576i output tho, but hey its only SD anyway)

Cons

• You must get the lastest firmware to get rid of some bugs (you must get v1.20 from the suppliers website below)
• USB is on the back ( a pain to plug/unplug device) but handy to keep it away from kids

Rating FIVE out of FIVE (with the current firmware) - its a great DVB-S device, nice and simple and the recording features are awesome as it should be!
