NEW Freeview HD Built in WiFi Receiver + USB HD Recorder, Digital TV Wi-Fi Set Top Box Terrestrial Tuner & MP4/MP3/JPG USB M.M Player (HDMI or SCART Output) by iView HD Silver

This is an excellent product for the money. A huge amount of channels and great picture, however the user manual is a disgrace and customer service is shocking. It took me from Saturday to late on Wednesday to actually get a recording on full screen play back purely because you have to try and fathom out yourself what to do through trial and error. When I asked the seller for instructions I would get a partial answer so they were no help. I still don't know what the time shift button is for even though I asked them. I cant record the programme I am watching yet as the instructions dont work and it did not work on HDMI. It's only for my bedroom so it does enough for me but really iView? Get some proper instructions written on the user manual or people who can really help

On reading other’s reviews, I had misgivings as to how easy it was to use before receiving the product. These misgivings were totally unjustified. From opening the box, installing it on my old flat screen tv, to set up, took me less than 10 minutes. I would add that it is a very neat, compact and surprisingly powerful/versatile little device. Setting up is simply switching it on and letting it tune itself – done. FIY, it does not come with an HDMI cable, you will need to get one. I tested the recording first after install. FIY, it does not come with a memory stick/card, you will have to get one – maximum memory it will comfortably work with is 64G. It only records one channel and only the channel you are watching. Therefore, if you set the timer record and are watching a different channel, it will switch particular channel set in the recorder approx 30 secs before it starts recording. The absolute beauty of this device is that you can remove the memory stick/card to watch the recordings on your computer/laptop or any other TV. The recorded picture is up to 1080p quality, no blur or distortion of any sort; bright and clear colours, no different to an HD ready TV. I then sorted the channels into my own preference order and this was the only tricky bit. Once in ‘Menu’, it asks for a password? I contacted the seller. They got back to me very quickly to let me know that the device has a built in default password – all zero’s 000000. Again, sorting the channels into the order I wanted and adding some as favourites, was simplicity itself. If you follow the manual, takes just a few minutes to understand. Again, unlike a lot of products similar to this which I have tried over the years, it does not lose settings when turned off at the mains. So whatever tweaks you make, they remain. Lastly, to stop any irritation, I didn’t bother setting the time and date. Totally unnecessary, as the record timer works off the TV Guide, and will record at the time set there, (EPG button on the controller), irrespective of what time you have set on the digital display on the front of the device. For all of the above, extremely easy set up, good back up from seller, and totally customisable unit, I give this piece of equipment 5 stars, and would happily buy more to convert my old TVs to freeview with the benefit of a cheap recorder.

Fairly easy setup although this one did not have any setup instructions with it. I played about with it for a whole day and now I know exactly what works what and am very pleased with the overall performance. EPG is quite handy although be aware that it will only show the channel that you are presently watching and will automatically change to whatever channel you pick for EPG information.Quite easy to use once you have set it up to however you would want to use it. Another feature to be aware of is this unit does default to the Midlands region and you can't change it, worth noting for regional variations like the local news / weather stations etc. The WIFI connections are really unnecessary as there are only 4 stations and they are fiddly and poor quality, not worth using to be honest. No HDMI cable supplied with it. HD channel pictures are excellent.In summary, it does what it sets out to do and although a small very plasticky feeling unit it is quite a great piece of kit for the money.Highly recommended.

So sorry. Didn’t realise you could only record one programme at a time.

Looks good but when play your recording it skips and it had alot of interference.I have been trying to contact seller for help as this is our second try with this unit but getting nowhere dont respond. I am going to return it and hope to get a refund. It's a shame the customer service started so well.

Box looked good and was easy to set up and get working immediately. Inclusion of AA batteries for remote was nice touch (product information said they weren’t included). Unfortunately after couple of weeks box started making crackling noise and picture blanking out. Box also gave me an electric shock when touched it.

It's a very small neat little box, it tuned in channels quickly registered wifi without a problem, playback video's on usb hard drive without a problem, smart is to use and navigate. The only downside is the apps, being only youtube and weather not iplayers.

Straightforward to set up and good picture quality. The internet function is very basic - not as good as a smart tv.
