Can't record two channels simultaneously ; No Scart outputs ; Editing menu could be easier to access

The allure of the BD-DT7800 lies not so much in its bread-and-butter Freeview recording functionality (which is good, but no better than its rivals) but in the extras. The combination of Smart Hub, slick DLNA functionality, 2D-to-3D conversion and...

Can’t record two channels at once, or record while using Smart Hub ; naff 3D feature

Product of the Year, Awards 2011. A superbly simple Freeview HD and Smart TV upgrade for older or more basic TVs

Nice looking design on the outside

Hi Def. picture ok but sound could be better but that is probably the fault of the broadcast. i.e. dialogue.

none

won't record two programs at once, and stops recording if you use the smart hub!! overall i would'nt recommend.
