Thank you for choosing this Goodmans Digital TV Recorder.

It’s really easy to program; you can set it up to record a whole series in a matter of minutes.
No need to key in times or dates, it’s all done using a clear on-screen programme schedule.
You can even record two channels at the same time. All your recordings are stored on your
Digital TV Recorder’s hard drive, which means an end to piles of DVDs.
This Digital TV Recorder has been given the Freeview Playback seal of approval, so you can
be sure you’re getting a great product.

the safety section on page 18-19 before using your Digital TV Recorder. This appliance is for
household use only.
A Set Top Box lets you access the free digital
channels that are broadcast in the UK.
It uses a digital signal, received through
your wideband aerial and lets you watch it
through your existing television.
