Comments for Emtec Movie Cube P800 Media Recorder

I am confused.... Just seen this at £100 on Cdiscount.co.uk which makes it good value.
But confused by Timple comment :
Is DVB-T not mean it is freeview +?
and there is a remote in the box?

@timple:
Indeed, good comment. Dedicated media players can only be justified as long as they significantly undercut the prices of nettops which can handle Full HD, like Acer's excellent Aspire Revo (http://www.trustedreviews.com/pcs/review/2009/06/05/Acer-Aspire-Revo-R3600---nVidia-ION-Nettop/p1).
As to the remote, if you're not happy with the one that comes with the more expensive Revo models or have a cheaper one, you can always add a Windows Media or Universal remote with a USB IR dongle.
@BBD99:
As far as I can see it's £130 on Cdiscount.co.uk, and that's for the 160GB version rather than the 320GB one reviewed here.
DVB-T plus recording does not necessarily mean it's Freeview+, as the latter has a set of strict guidelines a recorder has to adhere to before it can receive this certification.

Yawn, waiting for one of the nettop manufacturers to add freeview+ and a remote as standard to the package.... then all this sort of stuff will get blown out of the water.
TR staff - can't you try and encourage LG, Acer, Asus and the like to put such a package together for the UK market?
