The Register
I bought this book from Comet last week and ended up taking it back the next day.
Why ?
1) because the fan noise was far too high for a sitting room box. unbearable in fact like an old pentium 4 desktop of mine.
2) very poor plastic buttons on front.
I ended up going for a Topview 5800 250 gig box, which is more expensive but almost silent, since unlike the Thomson, it has no fan.
So far i am happy with the Topview althought SlingBox users like myself wil find the lack of ful remote support a little irritating.
