Whilst the picture quality through the tuner and DVD playback are excellent we have been plagued with problems when recording - often it will not record and says "NO BORADCAST" even when we have watched the programme it was supposed to record! Also can't record one channel and watch another (digital). The problems appeared within a couple of months, we put it down to the signal but it's clearly not. Have taken it back to Sony Centre where we bought it after 14 months - apparently you can't get a replacement as it only has to be serviceable (which means you have to take it in everytime something goes wrong). Poor service and quality control- not what I would expect Sony to stand for. Anyone from Sony reviews this and thinks I am being harsh...I have always bought Sony and being please with both quality and service - I guess I was sold a dud in this case!

Have had this for a few days now. So far its been OK. The picture on the DVD is very good. I also dont have a very good freeview signal but this finds and picks up all the channels even ITV which the other freeview box wont find. I also would not go any lower than LP when recording as the picture looks to blocky on the Toshiba 42x3030D TV. But SP and SLP seem fine.

I have had my machine for 6 months now. The picture quality (when fully working) is brilliant. However, picture freezes and distorts, I am unable to watch my televison thru the normal aerial as there is no (or very poor) signal from the dvd - so I have to watch the tv thru the dvd.

I have had mine for 4 months and i have to say its been an excellent machine, i previously had a pioneer DV636D which was an awesome machine in its day and with the scart lead still produces a better picture, but with the upgrade to HDMI the sony is streets ahead. Amazing picture quality (i have a 32" sony bravia lcd 1080i) and a full flawless sound through the digital co-ax to the full surround system with both my old yamaha (6.1)and now the sony (7.1) amp. All the functions are very simple if you ignore the manual and just have a go! You will struggle to find better for less than £200!

Don`t know what the problem is with people not being able to record. It`s so simple to set up!. Once up and running picture quality is superb, i would give it 5 stars.

I have had my HXD870 four days. Wont record from Video input. Wont dub either, its the worst piece of gear I have ever bought. Hope to get my money refunded.I would never touch Sony equipment again.The instruction manual is mind bogling, you do what it says, but the thing just does not work.

You need both your tv and your recorder to have their own freeview before you can watch one program and record another regardless of which recorder you buy. This is a superb machine apart from its manual - which is a bit too detailed - and most buyers find they can use the machine just by skimming through the manual

I'm also having problems with the record function. I can't watch TV whilst recording another channel and, worst of all, can't establish if this is correct or not. My instinct is that it should be able to considering that is function that exists on VHS!!! Am I missing something or can you only record what you're watching. Thanks in advance for your time for responding. Paul
