Great bit of kit but you pay for what you get!
Been using this for 10 months and it is a great bit of kit for the price. Only draw back is the image can be a bit soft and lacks sharpness, but i've been able to live with this. The ability to record subtitles has been the best feature.

Review for Panasonic TU-CT41 Freeview Digital Terrestrial Receiver:
Panasonic's worst ever product?
This item should never have been sold in the first place, and if still available should be withdrawn without delay. I cannot believe this is a genuine Panasonic product - it's very poor. Admittedly I've had mine for a couple of years, but I've lost track of the number of times I've had to reset the unit after it decides to enjoy a life of its own. No one should recommend this to anyone. I bought a cheap Bush Freeview unit at around the same time. It cost half as much, has worked perfectly ever since, and has the missing volume control mentioned in other reviews. Oh dear, Panasonic, who made this pile of crap for you? Don't subcontract to them again.90

It will record two programmes at once despite earlier comments.
I have recently bought one of these boxes. It seems excellent recording both single programmes and series with one entry. It will either record two channels at the same time (great for conflicting programmes) or it will play back a recording while making another. To save the recordings long term you need to export them via a Scart to a DVD or video recorder. These can be grouped together so you can record 4 hours overnight if you want.
