Panasonic UI is horrible, and GuidePlus even worse
I own a previous generation Panasonic PVR - it has the advantage that it usually does what is asked of it, unlike a previous Philips PVR I owned for three horrible weeks - but the user interface is slow, clunky and just plain awful. And the images in this review show that sadly, little has changed.
But GuidePlus, with 1/3 of the screen taken up by nasty lo-res adverts I didn't agree to, is the worst part by far.
If anyone can recommend a PVR that looks like it runs software written in the last two years, understands HD, has a decent EPG, a non-plastic remote control designed by someone who cares about aesthetics and generally just works, and doesn't involve a monthly subscription to anyone, I'd be more than happy to do an Office Space on my Panasonic.
