5This is the one you've been waiting for ...
By Brian Lee
Just got my new Panasonic BWT720 a few days ago.I already have two BWT700's and a BW780 (previous models of the BWT720), so I was well aware what to expect from this device, however I was curious to see what improvements had been made over the previous models, and also what things had been downgraded or evenremoved - as had happened when changing from the BW780 to the BWT700. See my 4* reviews of the Panasonic BW780 and the BWT700 for more details of those changes.Overview of CapabilitiesFor those readers who have never heard of this type of machine before, basically theBWT720 is a virtually unique Freeview set-top box which has the following capabilities:1) It receives HD freeview so your expensive HD TV can do what you bought it for -show HD telly - without exhorbitant ongoing fees and forking out for new Blu-Ray discreleases as often. And it upscales SD Freeview to an excellent standard as well.2) It records HD Freeview to an inbuilt Hard Disk Drive (HDD) so you can watch theprograms whenever you like and as often as you like - in HD! (or upscaled SD of course).3) It has 2 tuners so you can record even more HD programs than you thought! And it can beplaying back a third recorded program whilst recording two new ones simultaneously.4) It has a built-in Blu-Ray Disc player so you can watch your BD's in excellent quality.(3-D Discs as well in the case of the BWT700 and BWT720.)5) Its Blu-Ray Player is actually a DVD and Blu-Ray Disc Recorder so you can transferrecorded HD material from the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to a Blu-Ray disc. Very quickly too in(the default) DR mode - like 6 hours' worth of HD material to a single (nominally 2-hour)BD in about 20 minutes! And play them back in full HD with no loss in quality! Magic!6) It can accept HD movies from a Panasonic or Sony camcorder (AVCHD standard) and copythem to the Hard Disk Drive and from there copy them to BD for distribution to friends (ifthey ever bother to watch them!). Again with no loss of quality.The above summary was largely lifted from my BW780 review and is still true for the BWT700and BWT720. (Note that the BW780 is not 3-D capable).First impressions of the BWT720Picture QualityPicture quality of HD Freeview received and/or recorded programs is excellent. I havetested the BWT720 connected to both a Sony 40HX723 3-D TV and a Sony KDL-52W5500 2-D TVand in both cases the picture quality is first rate. This is the same finding as for theBWT700 and BW780 (2-D only in the case of the BW780) in fact, which all reviewers havefound to be excellent.I use Avatar as my 3-D test disc and all people pressured(!) into watching it state thatit is absolutely stunning and agree that it is ghosting and flicker-free. Note that thisis partly due to the Sony TV but of course the BWT720 also has to be good as well.SD programs are also good quality, but of course they tend to look a little lacking onceyou have got used to the stunning detail available from well-produced HD programs.It is worth while noting that not all HD programs are produced to the same quality - BBCHD and BBC One HD are usually very good, as is Channel 4 HD for the most part. ITV HD can be very good but occasionally they throw in an "upscaled" item which is clearly inferior to the best quality available. To be fair they usually admit it is upscaled in the program description.Recorded programs are initially recorded to the hard disk drive only in the default DRmode. This means that they are direct copies of the original broadcast data streams, andare thus perfect copies - there is no loss in quality when recorded.Copying Recorded Prorammes from HDD to Blu-Ray DiscThe thing that really sets this family of boxes apart from most others is the capabilityof copying recorded programs from the HDD to a Blu-Ray Disc. The BW part of the namestands for Blu-ray Writer, the T denoting Terrestrial Freeview (as opposed to SatelliteFreeview).Copying to Blu-Ray disc is simple, switch to the BD drive, load in a new BD-R disc andformat it (only 1 minute or less to format a new disc) then switch back to the HDD andselect Copy then choose the items you want to copy. It will warn you if there isinsufficient space on the BD and allows you to modify your choices before committing thecopy. If necessary you can edit adverts etc out from recorded programs to allow them tofit on a disc.This is one bit I really like - after starting the copy it gives you a continuous read-out of the progress of the copying task as it happening (or you can opt to switch back to watch another program - live or recorded as required). The read-out initially states that it will take 70 minutes or so to complete the copy - but after 1 or 2 percent of the disc is written it suddenly drops down to about 30 minutes, and eventually a full 6 hour's worth of HD video is copied in just over 20 minutes! Call me sad if you want but I do like this feature! Needless to say the copy is perfect quality - exactly the same as the broadcast original. And you can keep it for "ever"! (See my BWT700 4* review comment#35 for discussions on disc life.)It is worth while noting that there are copy restrictions placed by the programmeproducers on individual programmes. BBC HD and BBC One HD are usually unrestricted - youcan make as many HD copies as you like of their programmes (so far ...). ITV HD andChannel 4 HD frequently have a 1-copy limit - you can copy a program once from the HDD to Blu-Ray in HD but no more copies are then allowed, although the program remains for viewing only on the HDD. They can be copied in SD however to a DVD as many times as you like. For this the files need converting to SD, and you can do this on-the-fly while copying (in which case it is real-time - i.e. a one-hour program actually takes an hour) or you can convert the file overnight (say) in standby and copy it quickly to DVD later.Note that the BWT720 will only record broadcast HD, there is no facility for copyingprofessionally recorded Blu-Ray discs or other HD sources to the BWT720's HDD and backagain - this would be illegal and is rigorously prevented by DRM protection. You canrecord AVCHD HD camcorder files to the HDD (albeit using a rather bizarre selection method but it basically works), and from then produce Blu-Ray discs of your holiday films to bore your friends.Other featuresThe BWT720 has internet capability, but does not have a fully-functioning Web Browser (in common with most other "Smart" non-PC devices). Instead there is a collection ofapplications which includes YouTube and BBC iPlayer (see my 4* review of the BWT700 formore details - paragraph Pro's #7). BBC iPlayer can display HD programs - an episode ofTop Gear I viewed on my BWT700 looked really good.There are other apps but I wouldn't rate many of them very highly as yet. Maybe in a fewmonths time there will be more useful ones. The basic problem is the lack of keyboard and real mouse input, typing in search criteria involves moving the cursor round a table and selecting individual characters - don't pension off your PC yet!One advantage of the BWT720 over the BWT700 is that it comes with full wireless internetcapability installed - a feature only included on the previous generation's top modelBWT800 specification. The main other advantage is a larger hard disk capacity (500 Gbversus 320Gb) but the BWT720 trumps that handsomely with a whopping 1Tb hard disk - enough for 272 hours of HD recording in DR mode!GotchasThere are some sillies with these machines that have caused problems - some so fundamental that people have packed them up and sent them back rather than try to sort them out!One is incorrect Aspect Ratio display of HD 4:3 material - see my 4* review of the BWT700 for details of how to fix this.Another is Aspect Ratio when copying HD widescreen material to DVD in SD. See comment #2on my 4* review of the BWT700.Another is adverts in the Programme Guide. Amazingly Panasonic have largely fixed this but see my 4* review of the BWT700 (Cons #1) for a fix which should stop partial re-occurrence of the same problem.Another is apparently bad Freeview reception, the most obvious sign of this being the box unable topick up a reasonable number of TV channels, some being as low as 5 channels! This is actually easily cured - see comment #86 on my 4* review of the BWT700 or comment#31 on this review.SummaryIf you don't have one of the earlier models then the rest of this review is probably notof interest to you. Suffice it to say that the BWT720 is a very capable device and wellworth buying if you are looking for a high quality HD Freeview recorder - particularly if you also wish to keep some HD programmes on Blu-Ray disc as a permanent copy. The 1Tb hard disk is very generous, giving 272 hours of HD programme recording before requiring file housekeeping, and the quality of picture and sound is excellent in 2-D and 3-D. The reliability I have experienced from 5 of these devices over 18 months has been 100% apart from one minor fault on one cheap BD disc which caused a 10-minute loss of one film. This is out of over 150 discs written in 18 months. Despite the various niggles affecting only those users who may wish to record from other devices, I am sorely tempted to go for 5 stars on this one!Comparison with earlier modelsIn the interests of trying to keep this review brief (see my other reviews for why this is funny!) I will try to concentrate on the rest of the differences between this new machine and the BWT700, as that is probably what a lot of people reading this part of the review would probably want to know, and for detailed capabilities of the machine have a read of my 4* review of the BWT700 and its comments, as a lot of the characteristics of the machines (particularly the niggles) only become apparent after some time.As I have remarked before, the manufacturer's blurb on these more complex machines areuseful for telling you what the machine can do, but they are somewhat poor at telling you what the machine CAN'T do. For that you need these reviews! And the comments as they are frequently ongoing extensions of the review.Out of the box, the immediate difference between the BWT720 and the BWT700 is the(removable) sticker which proudly proclaims "HDD 1TB" with "684 hrs Recording (HM Mode)"as opposed to the "skype certified" and "Wireless LAN Ready" stickers on the BWT700. Mind you, I would brag about 684 Hrs recording capability too, however I always record in HD DR (the default) recording mode, but even in this mode you get 272 hours of HD recording on the Hard Disk Drive! This is more than double what you get on our 1Tb VM TiVo - this is due to the lower bit rates of Freeview HD compared with cable, but note that the compression algorithms are cleverer than many other systems so you still get stunning HD quality. In fact I reckon the HD quality is slightly better than our VM TiVo (which itself is very good).Remember that HD DR mode also gives you the capability of copying 6 hours' worth of HDfrom the Hard Disk to a standard (2 hour) Blu-Ray BD-R disc in just over 20 minutes. Nowyou may possibly get an inkling of why I now have four of these machines! The BW780 onlyhad a 250Gb disk, the BWT700 a 320Gb disc and only on odd occasions have I run out of disc space on either of them due to the incomparable copy-to-BD capability of these machines. I don't expect to EVER run out of HDD space on the BWT720!One niggle which appears to be carried on from the BWT700 and is a downgrade from theBW780 is the lack of provision of a full RGB signal to the SCART input sockets. This means that if you are copying from an external device (I have a UK TiVo and Laserdisc etc) into the BWT720 then you can only choose composite or S-Video interface rather than RGB. I have no idea why they chose to do this and in some cases I know it cost them sales - people bought secondhand BW780's instead of a new BWT700 to have full RGB external input quality, however if you are not intending to copy from an external device in SD then this may not be an issue for you. Ditto the removal of the DV Firewire input port - present on the BW780, removed on the BWT700 and BWT720, but only an issue to those with camcorders (non-AVCHD) who need to connect to a disc-producing device.One immediately noticeable improvement over earlier models is the inclusion of a live TVpicture (and its sound) on selecting the Function Menu. It's quite generous in size aswell - say about 25% of the screen, and then reverts to a smaller version in the new TVGuide. I mention this specifically as the earlier models didn't do this, instead carrying stupid adverts which did nothing except infuriate everyone! That was the main reason stated for people refusing to buy the BW780 (myself included to start with) and BWT700, however they mised out on a very good box because of it. I tell people how to suppress these adverts in my BW780 comments and my BWT700 review, and I suspect it's still worth doing (and I have actually done it) on the BWT720 as the Panasonic write-up still mentions adverts flashing up for a second or two! I have done my mod and so far no adverts ...!The improved EPG display also allows more program slots to be listed across the screen,for example it now shows detail of programs between 18:00 and 20:30 whereas the earliermachines could only manage 18:00 to 19:30.The improved menus even stretch to the sound of the current TV program being heard evenwhen in the "Timer Recordings" menu!One little "funny" I have noticed is that if you have the HDD selected as the currentdevice then select "Playback Contents" and "Video Contents" it switches to playing back an iconised (say 10% normal size) picture - with sound - showing the start of the currently selected item (as on previous models).However if you have switched playback device to BD, this iconic playback no longerhappens! It did on the earlier models! No great loss really - but is it a software bugwhich may be corrected later? Time will tell. Panasonic do issue software improvementsoccasionally - the response time improved dramatically and various silly bugs were fixedon the BW780 via software downloads - and BBC iPlayer magically appeared (in HD no less)after a software download to my BWT700 so these things do happen!To all users of the previous boxes - if you are happy with the BWT700 then you will beover the moon with the BWT720. They have fixed many of the niggles (but not the changeswhich made input SD recording worse) and that fantastic disk space means you can record to your heart's content while on holiday and still be confident you won't run out of disk space! I think it's terrific! Keep your other machine as well for Xmas etc when there's loads on and you need more than 2 tuners. Sell off any dumb Blu-Ray players to finance it, keep your BWxxxx and enjoy playing any of your recorded BD's in multiple rooms!It really is Super! Enjoy!Oh - and check out any comments as no doubt there will be questions and answers galore as on previous blogs ...

5In A Class Of Its Own
By Anthony Brown
As far as I am aware this is the only player that records onto blu ray discs directly . Plays blurays and has a large HDD 1TB . Luckily as it has little or no competition I have found this Player faultless . As a long review already exists of this player I won't go into detail . I can say I am grateful for that reveiw for encouraing me to spend what is today a large sum of money £450 I paid £459 at Peter Tyson found On Amazon Marketplace at the time (£489 John Lewis ) Highly recommend them supplied quality HDMI cable free and were very helpful with delivery issues The most important things is 1 you can archive material in Hd quality either by Blu Ray my personal preference or using USB Hard disc drive . Not tried this though I do possess a portable USB HDD .2 It has a very large Hdd which is fairly easy to edit . So far it has never fallen short or over recorded . A problem my Sony dvd/ hdd recorder suffered from , admittedly of 6 year vintage . Series record works well only failed when Bbc moved a series from BBC HD to BBC 1 HD . It has 2 tuners allowing TWO recordings and watching a third on tv tuner if needed . Also you can store edit or copy photos and home movies . can even use Hd card directly . Last and not least you can do away with separate bluray player saving space . As my wife insists on keeping Vhs vcr player . I had 3 items crammed into my cabinet . The Case of the player is of robust and stylish manafacture . Very clean lines . The front has to be manually opened ; if you wish to access blu ray drive hdd or usb slots you have to get up anyway to put a bluray in or out anyway . Obviously The HDD can be worked fully by remote control . The only fault I can find with the remote control is it does nt seem to have a full menu for replaying pre-recorded dvds . I suppose that is not the primary function of the product . GLAD I PURCHASED IT!Price greatly reduced By £80 Bargain !!!

5...and what's more...
By freelunch
In addition to all the superlatives here, let me add:I bought a Samsung EU32ES5500K Smart TV via Amazon a many weeks ago. BBC iPlayer was advertised, but it was a couple months before a compatible version of iPlayer was available for download. Since downloading iPlayer, I have never been able to get it to work - it always times out. I have installed all the software updates.I plugged the DMR-BWT-720EB in yesterday, made the wireless internet connection, launched the pre-installed iPlayer and it worked immediately.Freeview HD looks better from the Panasonic unit than from my HUMAX HDR-FOXT2, and that's a nice piece of kit.The DVD's I previously burned on a Sony RDR-HXD890 look better than they did from the Sony unit. I guess it's the upscaling to the Samsung HD TV.The DMR-BWT-720EB is expensive, but money well spent.
