Updated from before with more bugs and better explanations. I've had this machine two weeks now and this is what I have discovered so far.
The freeview/EPG is slow and klunky - a £10 box from Tesco does a better job - it'd bad, slow and not a mean fighting machine. Very basic. It displays a small picture of the channel which slows it down alot.
The machine is quite slow in general.
You can not set series record from EPG.
The timer on freeview epg does not list the program name in the title list, just the time and channel, you have to enter a title manually.
The recorded/completed list displays times of completed recordings but not the name so it is useless as you won't know what you recorded especially if the recording failed. There is plenty of space to display this.
No recording modes for freeview.
MP3 playlists can not be named - It creates an auto-generated name. e.g. playlist01,02 etc.
Does not display enough characters on mp3 names because the left hand side of the screen is taken up by an animation of a treble clef note that is useless.
The same with recordings, left hand screen taken up again when there is space for more information.
The freeview epg takes ages to go through displaying only 4 channels at a time insisting on displaying the channel that is selected. It doesn't need to show the channel video.
Most times when I turn on it goes to analogue tv bbc1 even though I never use it.
After watching a recording and pressing stop it displays the av2 source as composite, screen goes blank and then comes back on display as av2 rgb. That is annoying.
When watching dvd's everytime the screen displays a new menu the machine insists on display "dvd video" in the top left corner. It's ok once when inserted but not repeatably when the same disk is in use.
You can save bookmarks but can not name them.
When using the "text input" to name a title, you can not control the cursor, it is always at the end so all you can do is delete or delete all. Not much good if you split a recording and want to rename it, you have to type it in all again.
No mp3 tags - would have been nice with pic. (Not a bug, useful though.)
No cd-text. (Not a bug, useful though.)
Led display is basic, no indication as to what the lights on front of machine are.
To record from the schedule the machine must be in stand-by unlike other machines. This also makes the "record and playback at the same time" useless because it means you can play something back but only during the period that a recording is taking place.
the machine will go into stand-by reguardless if you are watching anything or not.
If you want to watch something and a schedule is set forget it - there is no indication to warn you.
when doing the above, I noticed that after watching something I could not display any channels on freeview or through AV2 and had to turn off and back on.
Interface not 2007 modern looking, compare win 3.1 to win xp.
A lot of screen space is unused but could be used to display more info.
It dosen't display time, date, used/free space, title when info is pressed.
No thumbnail view/change.
Can not combine recordings.
No manual chapter insert.
When watching a recording and pressing Pause, the pause cancels after a few minutes and goes back to the title list so you also loose your place.
When deleting part of a recording you can not pause and move through the recording frame by frame. Press pause then press forward and it starts playing again.
Slow at copying from hdd to dvd.
The created dvd does not show any thumbnails on the machine but on my pc it did but very basic looking with text not on the same line.
I've tried this one several times but everytime I create a dvd by using copying from hdd title list it makes THREE exact copies on the same dvd. Try it yourself and then look at the dvd on your pc.
(EP mode, XP creates single copy, haven't tried other modes)
Also VTS files are split at 13.8MB rather than 1024MB.
It creates seperate titles rather than chapters !!!
Check it on VLC media player.
The remote buttons are small and important buttons like EPG and timer are not made to stand out.
It's also gone up in price !
This is gonna be sent to Samsung, I want my money back. Anyone else wanna add anything and I'll put it on the list.
