As suggested by another reviewer , i checked the firmware version on set up and it is 3.2. It virtually sets itself up on plugging in and is very straight forward to use.I have made recordings direct from the 7 day programme guide and they all worked perfectly and started and ended when they should."Time shift" recording remains a mystery to me at present. The only odd thing i have noticed is a lack of bass response from the TV speakers when watching TV through the box.Is it the cheap scart lead i am using ? Rating: - Well worth the money You may be puzzled why some people in the review area ' love it ' while others ' hate it ' I am a retired University Lecturer in Computer Science and I repair all my friends Computers so I know exactly how these machines work. Its all down to the Firmware and many people who hate it I suspect have the older Firmware . I bought a Daewoo DSD9503TFPB and it has the latest version which is ' 3.2 ' I live in London and have a strong signal from Crystal Palace. Its a far thinner unit than I was expecting - which allows me to give it enough airspace without having to rearrange all my other machines. Note a lot of problems can be traced back to units not having enough airspace - the DSD9503TFPB does not have a Fan on the Hard Drive and with the correct airspace it does not need it and it runs cool and very very quiet. The picture quality is ' Outstanding ' and it was so easy to use that I bought a second one. Believe me you cant tell if its a recording or a direct Broadcast { its that Good } The biggest advantage is being able to record a whole Channel { or two } and then delete what you don't want. While playing its possible to speed it up to * 24 times so you can whiz though a lot in a short period of time. Pro's and Con's It does have a few quirks - { quirk 1 } the remote control is very cramped so its not a R/C ...

I got a replacement from daewoo and 2 weeks before the warranty ran out the hard drive failed.Got another brand new unit from daewoo and after just a couple of months it started turning off during recording if I changed channels or tried to use the bbc i services. Got to the stage in August when it just wouldn't go past blue start screen. Unplugged and left while on holiday and came back to plug it in to find miraculous recovery and fully working unit until a few weeks ago. Have tried several other brands, but decided to come back to daewoo with the brand new black model, installed unit ,plugged in and got no response to remote control, set up using manual controls on box to find audio distorted and crackly. Have now returned this model and have finally succombed to getting sky. Rating:  - Daewoo DSD9503TFPB good but flawedI purchased this from Amazon , received in June, great price and specs, 2 channel, series recording etc., easy to set up works like a dream up to a point. The point was reached after it was in use for 2 months. The Daewoo did freeze occasionally at first, a small niggle, but recently the freezes have gone into overdrive I'm having to switch off and on more and more often today so far at least 6 times I would love to give this a 5 star review and if it worked properly it would get one. I am contacting Amazon about a replacement and if it works properly I will give a new reviewDaewoo DSD9503TFPB - 160GB Freeview Recorder With Twin Tuner & Freeview Playback - Black Rating: - Brian Lawrence (Freezing PVR)An excellent product when working.For the first two weeks I couldn't fault the unit did everything it says on the box. Then when you set 2 or 3 recordings it would freeze on the EPG screen and there would be no response from the remote control, so you have to un-plug and then the unit re-anitialises and works OK.I also get an occasional screech noise when viewing recordings.Other than these I am extremely happy with the unit. I have sent the unit back for a replacement to see if this a common fault. Will update when received.
