Hi all

I thought that following my initial praise of the 3570, I had better do a follow up....

Sorry to say but I had to take the Philips back.

I had a problem where it simply kept refusing to switch on and I had to keep re-booting at the plug.

Although the convenience of the hard drive was great as you could bulk transfer from V+ and then split into separate recordings, in the end I went for a normal DVD recorder. I swapped for a Panasonic DMR-EZ27EB. I am very pleased with the new recorder. It is a similar price to the Philips, but is much nicer quality. (No rubbery keyed remote control for a start - very irritating on the Philips when renaming titles!)

The bells and whistles of the Philips were nice, but the Panasonic works well and is also A HDMI upscaler.

Hope somebody finds this useful.
