Your TV obviously isn’t up to snuff.

Interesting reading this, I have just installed the Panasonic BS750, with freesat dish, all the additional channels are mostly rubbish, and the BBC’s High Definition programmes, such as they are! are very disapointing, the clarity is only slightly better than normal freeview with a terrestrial aerial. Freesat reception is on a par with Freeview.

An expensive lesson, but we have it now, the only plus is we can play Blue-Ray DVD’s which do appear to be a bit sharper.

I have just found the dmr-bs750 for £750 which seems like a good deal. My only problem is, should I go for the bs750 or spend abit more and get the bs850?

I also have been hanging back, infact ditched sky+ and bought a secondhand freeview pvr in the meantime.
I feel that in a while there will be more companies coming along at cheaper prices. I think even Humax have to drop their prices but while they have no competition why should they!!
We will look back in a few years when everyone has a HD TV with built in recorders am sure.
I for one have had my fingers burned with being an early adopter – hmmmm betmax recorder.
I dont jump in first now!

I don’t understand why companies haven’t caught on to the fact that they would sell many more items if they entered the market at a reasonable price i.e. one that joe public can afford. Also I agree that the panasonic will need to be good to beat the Humax and its facilities. However having a panasonic plasma I trust that the quality will be up to normal thier normal standards.

With Humax now able to supply everyone and their prices dropping, Panasonic need to seriously look at pricing. I’d have said £500 is max most will want to pay.
