I have the 3500t and it now is a lot better with the new firmware upgrade. It would drop out with low signals they seem to have fixed the problem withe up grade.
If you ask me would i buy it again i would say “yes”

I have one, upgraded from the 2500T model. With HDMI cable the machine works perfectly, except freezes sometimes on one of the 24 free-to-air channels available – although this channel has good signal strength (Brisbane Australia). Upgrade firmware seems to come out each month; so far this has all installed o.k. for me, although what improvements have been achieved by this I don’t know. The USB input/output only seems to recognize FAT32 formated devices, and since FAT32 can only handle files <4GB it is not possible to transfer a larger file directly to an external USB disk. I don't understand why TEAC have done this. But overall, at the price, I am happy with it,

I have one too. Quality picture. In my area, without an antenna booster sometimes the signal drops. I think all of the pvr’s have issues. Mine also hung up when I press fast forward and if you don’t stop it b4 it reaches the end, it will hang up and needs to be restarted, pretty annoying. The remote has a lot of useless features, like the big jump button. It will jump about 1/5 of the way through a program, so what! I guess it does beat ff through a program.

I have had nothing but trouble with this unit. Constantly locking up.

So far very disappointed. When I bought it I was assured I could use it on a relatively new crt tv (5yo). Cannot connect to the tv using component cables. All I get is a black screen. The remote has a very poor response time and the trouble shooting section just says check that the cables are connected correctly.
