★☆☆☆☆
DO NOT BUY SONY PRODUCTs, especially this one.
It has a chip which refuses to record a satelite signal (alleged copyright protection) even if the signal is local boredcast, sports, movie channel or pay per view. My sat provider advised me that the problem lies in Sony's copy protection technology, which interferes with their signal. No other company manages to screw with the signal like Sony.
translation - DO NOT BUY SONY DVD OR RECORDING PRODUCTS.
