Pros
Plenty of space, easy to use EPG
Cons
Major downside - no series record option!! Panasonic, are you serious? It can be set to record a program at the same time weekly but it's "dumb" in that it will not stop when the series ends or adjust the time automatically if the broadcast time is changed. Smarter boxes like t-box can do this.

I have owned this unit for 6 months and it crashes on a daily basis. It also deletes recordings automatically even when not watched all the way through - I cannot find an option set-up to turn this off.

All firmware is up to date and the problems persist. Can't believe such a seemingly "reliable" brand is so unreliable, particularly for the high price... back to the t-box with it's smart series-record...
