The upscaling picture is phenomenal, clearly using the very good DVD upscaling libraries the PS3 has.
Unfortunatly, it won't be able to pickup HD in the UK on freeview, merely because they decided to opt for an merging T2 DVB standard rather than the established one (the opposite of what is happening in DAB world).

is the only pvr in the world where you have to trawl through the listings each week to mark what you want to record. It has been designed by people who have never used a pvr before, and seemingly is designed by people who don't use it.
