Good all round satisfaction of item, easy to install and sets itself up with only one or two requests from purchaser. Very pleased with all aspects of Samsung

As yet I have nothing to report, everything is working as it should and I am very pleased with my purchase

Very good menu finder, and plenty of space for adding music files or home video footage via thumb drive. Clear picture quality.

Anyone looking for a DVD recording drive should know that this is NOT an HDD/DVD recorder. The title on the web site it a bit misleading. This is a BluRay/DVD player only.

Combination of blu-ray, DLNA, PVR, twin freeview HD Fast, reactive UI Clean interface Easy to set up

Internet/apps can be slow Lots of fiddly issues - couldn't use the apps until after an upgrade, can't delete recorded programs whilst a recording is taking place, a general feeling that you have to "learn" how best to use it

Too many moves to delete recorded programmes. Not enough simple functions such as a clock. To timeshift the machine must be programmed first. I feel this was a hastily assembled jumble of ideas and, being a Samsung fan, am very disappointed.
