Score 4.0/10

Good points:: LG
Bad points:: Its not well designed. Is a real pig to retrieve recorded programmes. In comparisson to Panasonic Vierater linked equipment its not good.
Having said that bought it for my elderly parents who can't work out how to store names on a mobile phone so could be influenced by their use of it. IMHO Panasonic make much better devices, but at much more cost. - Well you did ask me.
