I despise these ridiculous April 1st stories… it just makes me NEVER take you guys seriously. Leave the practical jokes for the unfortunate people that know you personally.

I don’t understand why this hasn’t been released already.
Still waiting for a set-top DVD recorder to be released with a built-in Freeview digital tuner (why do companies like Sony think we want to “digitally record” old fashioned, poor quality analogue TV???)
Designers and Manufactures: Hurry up and get this stiuff to market! We’re waiting!

No thanks, I’ll keep my £200 and leave the Pace Freeview HDD in the shops.
Forgot to mention, I’d like the thing to work for more than 10 sec before crashing!
