- Good Points
- compact and easy to set up if you know what to do.
- Bad Points
- Instructions are not accurate with no help on how to set up an external decoder. Don't bother phoning LM helpline as they told me that the unit was incompatible with a French sat receiver when all I had to do was change the AV output of the receiver(note that they sell the same model in France). Their technical competance is zero in my opinion.

gadgetspeak.com 7 out of 10
Summary: This unit has a built in Freeview box so anyone with only an Analog TV can now move on and since it can play (and record) DVD's as well as record either to the HDD or direct to DVD you have the best of both in a single unit.
Conclusion: The LG RHT497H measures 43x30x5cm with leads inserted. The front has a four position circular control and two drop down flaps (more on these in a bit) while the front edge of the top has a button at each end. The sides, underneath and rest of the top...

Summary: Get beyond that mealy–mouthed moniker, and you'll find the LG RHT497H's USP could not be simpler. Slap it into your HD TV and it'll take care of both DVDs and Freeview +. Sound too basic? Well how about upscaling the lot to an eyeball delighting 1080p....
Conclusion: A solid, dependable way to get free, high quality pics from a set top box
Pro : Tons of room for movies, upscaled pics
Cons : Cramped EPG

Summary: LG's little black box may have an absurdly complicated name, but the premise is simple: whack this under your telly, and it'll blast out DVD and Freeview upscaled all the way to 1080p high def. The 160GB HDD will store up to 477 hours of video and you...
Conclusion: If you don't want a satellite on your roof, this as good a way as any to get better resolution video slung to your screen. Feature-wise, there's nothing frivolous included, or anything sorely missing. It's essentially the Ryan Giggs of set top boxes:...
Pro : Freeview+ is built in, so you'll be able to flip the bird at any Sky+ fans near you by pausing live TV and recording an entire series automatically with the press of a button. Visually, the LG RHT497H is a treat. It's as sleek and light a set top box...
Cons : The LG RHT497H is quick to set up, but the instructions aren't too helpful if you're new to this whole AV charade: they don't even mention the ever so handy HDMI port round the back, and that the recording option needs to be changed to XP to get the...
