This is my second UEC4901. The first lasted just beyond the warranty period and stopped working. Apparently if you want a hard drive onboard this is your only choice (Satplus advice). The box does what it should but sometimes starts up with no picture so a reboot is needed. The onboard scheduler for programs is a nightmare and will not, for example, program a show to be continually recorded (like the news). You set it up and then the scheduler deletes it after a couple of weeks. Crap software with the latest firmware being three years old. If having an external hd doesn't worry you I'd avoid this box. But its unique apparently so here I am.
