The temperamental first set-up, and the inevitable firmware updates via sattelite may cause problems for less experienced users, for whom What Hi-Fi? recommends Humax's offering instead.

Product information and further reviews

Goodmans GHD1621F2 CNET.co.uk 1/2008 - Digital recorders or PVRs (personal video recorders) offer the most affordable and easiest way of recording television programmes -- think of a 21st century VCR that doesn't need tapes or a Masters degree to operate. Goodmans GHD1621F2 features an attractive design that houses two integrated Freeview tuners, which means you can record one programme while you watch another or even record two digital programmes at the same time. There's a substantial 160GB hard drive that equates to around 80 hours of footage using a single recording quality mode and scheduling recordings couldn’t be simpler.

Goodmans GHD1621F2 Freeview PVR TrustedReviews 12/2007 - There's no denying that Freeview PVRs are a wonderful invention, offering revolutionary recording flexibility to people who don't want Sky. But ever since their inception, Freeview PVRs have lacked the necessary features to mount a serious challenge to Sky+, making even the best models seem like poor imitations. Until now, that is...

Goodmans GHD8015F CNET.co.uk 12/2006 - The price of digital recorders has been rapidly falling, but with a dual-tuner 80GB PVR that costs less than £100, they may have nearly hit rock-bottom.

Group Test: Dual tuner PVRs AVReview 12/2006 - VCRs have been banished to the annals of home entertainment history and been replaced by new digital devices. Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) are fast becoming the most popular and affordable systems - using integrated hard drives to store hours of easily accessible recordings without the need for software. Models with dual digital tuners allow you to record one (or more) Freeview programmes while you watch another. And making recordings is as simple as selecting a programme from the accompanying Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) and leaving the rest to technology. We've brought together four models to find which is the best at doing it digitally. Review details: Four Freeview STBs with built in hard disks and dual tuners were reviewed and rated based on features, performance and value for money. Scores ranged from 7 to 9 points out of 10.

Goodmans GDB300HD CNET.co.uk 10/2010 - Goodman's GDB300HD is nothing if not a bargain. At around £70, it's by far the cheapest Freeview HD receiver we've seen to date. In fact, if you look at Comet's page for the device, you'll see it's possible to spend nearly as much on a single, 1m HDMI cable. For people on a budget who are keen to get into high-definition viewing, the GDB300HD could be ideal.

Goodmans GDB300HD High Definition Digital Set Top Box Expert Reviews 6/2010 - Freeview claims that 50 per cent of UK households should be able to receive its HD service by the start of the World Cup. With the tournament now upon us, it's certainly worth browsing to www.freeview.co.uk/HD to check if you're covered. If so, then a new Freeview HD-capable TV may be the way to go, however if you're happy with your current telly then a set top box, such as this one from Goodmans, is the way to go.
