LG RH2T80 / RH2T160

Nothing stood out that was really likeable.

It was very temperamental and only occasionally worked as it should.

So easy to program. Even Blind Freddy would know it is only an SD channel recorder. Upscales to 1080i and it plays DVD's region free.

None really. Not sure why others are so damning of this unit.

Heaps of inputs and outputs. Good user interface.

quality is average.

Menu system easy to use, remote responds quickly (no lag), fast forward and review speeds consistent (unlike Probox PVR), HDMI out.

Hardware failure, specifically the optical unit and hard drive. Also, the hard drive in the 80GB unit too small for any decent amount of recording.

Dissapointing, bought my whole entertainment system as LG, what a mistake.This units DVD drive wouldnt open or close properly before the first 12 months, put up with it, i would just hang on to the tray before it would close itself while putting dvd's...

Easy to use and flexible unit. Able to play DVDs, record TV shows onto hard drive and also to record files to DVDs. This also has an inbuilt digital TV tuner which is far superior to the old TV signals that are going to be phased out soon anyway.

Thers is a limited amount of recording hours on the unit. It would be better if it could have a bigger memory to be able to have more recorded files.

Price, features, usability, flexibility of operation. Upscale of video output to HD.

Not reliable enough, software glitches, must be turned off to start a timed recording otherwise it is skipped. No USB, SD-only tuner with no down-scale.

Easy to use, but read below

Played a DVD once and has never worked since! Oddly will still play DivX and HDD works. LG repaired once but his lasted less than one month! I would never buy again!

Easy to use. Slimline look. Don't recall having much probs setting up.

Bit of a nuisance requiring tv to be on to read menu to change functions, play music etc.

Fairly easy to use, easy set up, good storage capacity, love the record daily (excludes weekends)/weekly function

Have had nothing but problems with it! The DVD recording stopped working after a couple of months and then it wouldn't play DVDs and then the DVD drawer wouldn't even open. We had it repaired within warranty period but the repair only lasted a short...
