Hi,
looked on the argos website, and it states that the non HDMI one can also upscale to 1080i, but i thought you couldnt upscale unless it was through a HDMI port.
could you confirm if it does or if its argos being lazy gits and just copying and pasting the same description
thanke kindley

Nah, mine doesn't upscale.
I'm not much of a review writer but i'll give it a bash. The unit isn't the prettiest, but then very few on the market are. It's really simple to use, the remote is very clearly labelled and well laid out.
-You can one-touch record the program you're watching.
-You can also record on the program guide by highlighting the program and pressing record.
-You can record 2 things at the same time and watch either one of the channels you're recording or another previously recorded program at the same time.
- You can start watching something from the start that is still recording.
- You can pause live TV whilst recording something else.
A button on the remote takes you a library of your recordings. It also shows you how much space is used and how much is left on a simple graphical display. You can watch recordings from the start, from where you last stopped watching them or you can directly input how many minutes in you want to start watching.
It also does a cool thing called picture in picture that allows you to have a small image of one channel in the top corner of the screen and you can flick to other channels on the main display at the same time. This means if you're watching something with adverts you can stick in in the box, flick around other channels whist still being able to see the other channel and flick back again when the ads end.
Oh and it's attached to a 26" Philips LCD.
If there's anything else, just ask!
