First impressions are that its excellent, very quiet, cant hear the thing at all, picture quality through hdmi at 720p is also very very good, far better than the standard stb's. It upscales the feed for 720p very well on most channels, although some are still abit blocky, bbc1, itv etc look very clear.
BBC HD preview channel is crystal clear.
Remote is too big, bulky, but that doesnt matter as ive got a Logitech harmony 525 so once its programmed ill be doing away with the remote.
Software seems stable although channel changing can be slow at times, and it has locked up once, waited for about 30secs then it came back to life.
From reading other posts software rollouts are coming which should speed up the guide.
Ive got the sound going from the optical output to my av receiver, crystal clear, and surround sound is v.good. waiting to see a 5.1 program on the bbc hd channel to see what thats like.
All in all very pleased with it, install went smoothly, seeing as i only ordered it on monday afternoon. 6pm, its a great service
