We currently have a Samsung SMT2100c and a reconditioned Di2000 - ancient i know - and of the two the Sammy is, by comparison with the Di4000 it replaced, really stable and almost no lockups apart from the couple of occasions when we've been going too fast on channel change.

The 2000 on the other hand is about as good as a house brick - it needs rebooting practically every other day or so, when it locks up, or won't power to standby, or change channel.....

As the engineer who installed the Sammy said to me, "its not the boxes, but the software thats rubbish" - sums it up really.

Me, I'm just waiting to see which gives up first when VOD software is rolled out next year
