Hitachi HDR5T01
Simple to operate was main main reason for choosing the Hitachi HDR5T01 as it was for my 87 year old mother who lives for her tv programs. Picture and sound quality is excellent and the onscreen menu`s are simple to follow making recording & playback simple. Overal a great little unit at a fraction of the price of the big name brands.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Absolutely rubbish
Bought for a pensioner who can not cope with modern technology..sad to say that this piece of xxxx is sadly lacking in even the basic functions.such as a 24 hour clock that can not be changed to 12 hour setting.spoke to engeneers and they confirmed not a changeable program.okay so went on to explain that the recording system records multiple channels .ie.7 BBC 1 Because of regional transmission .it also wants to record all the repeats..Jeez how bad is that .next the item highlights certain programs in the epg.again something not necessarily a good thing.and again something you can not change.there are many other things wrong with the basic functions of the out dated technology but I've had enough sent it to be shotVerified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Used B grade but OK.
Although branded Hitachi, it's made by a company called Vestel. I've had a couple of it's SD predecessors, one was branded Hitachi, another Technika. The Hitachi HDR5T01 500GB Freeview+ HD Digital TV Recorder (B-Grade)- I received From Argos ebay, seem like it was used, dented, managed to get the dent out after taking off the top cover. Other users complain of frozen picture, bad sound etc.. This is mainly because they probably still have the old aerial with analogue cable coming from the aerial, this loses some of the signal. You do not necessarily need a new aerial may be just the cable coming from it. It will also help if you delete some of the channels your not going to watch, so the DVR will not download the EPG for them, this should help the DVR respond a bit quicker.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Alright but not compatable with Hitachi TV remote
It's OK rather than good. Definitely a badge engineering job as its not compatible with my current or previous Hitachi TV remote. I would not pay more to maintain band consistency i.e. same make TV and recorder.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

free tv
this little box has great speed, good quality of build, works much better and records which our old box did not, the seller was spot on with there description, low price and fast delivery, would recommend to anyone looking to replace, we also take ours on holiday, why, most tvs are set for minimal viewing, by simply connecting to there tv, you are not going to miss any of your fav programs. spot on, buy one, they are great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Hitachi
this product is easy to set up the screen is easier to follow than other units, although the size of the print on the info above the programme guide appears rather small and hard to read from any distance from the tele, unit seems to had a couple of instances of screen freezing for a moment or two during play back not sure how much of a problem this is yet, overall better than other units that do the same jobVerified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Good value
This arrived swiftly and was easy to install. Our only little mystery was ltrying to locate "planned recordings" which we eventually discovered under "Timers". There was nothing in the manual about this. Many other features have yet to be discovered - there are so many!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished
