3) are the menus better than the technomate 1500ci ?

2) Compares to my Humax PVR which is pretty good.

3) Fairly complex menu's.
There is a lot to master, but rewarding when you do.
Once set up its not too bad selecting channels.
You can have as many favourite lists as you like
Setting an advanced recording is a nightmare. Still to investigate an EPG plugin that might help?
