BBC HD certainly has the best apparent quality of the three HD channels, and there's an enormous different watching World Cup matches in HD on a large Full HD TV compared to standard definition. In terms of picture quality, we had no complaints at all. This will be scheduled for transmission over the air shortly, but you'll also be able to download it from Sagemcom's website. The firm also promised that speed would improve further once the official firmware was released. Our initial test unit - which we're told was the finished product - was very sluggish to respond to the remote, but Sagemcom rushed us an updated version which largely fixed this. Another nice touch is that the main information panel shows the time and title of the following programme. Also, if you press the Info button while watching a show, you can then scroll up, down and right to view programme information for shows on other channels and next on the current channel. Unlike certain PVRs we've seen, the RTI90-320 sensibly keeps a thumbnail of the channel you're watching in the top-left corner of the EPG, so you can carry on watching while browsing. You can search by keyword and genre to find a programme quickly. Pressing the next or previous buttons on the remote jumps to the next or previous day in the guide, and the date is highlighted so it's easy to see where you are.
