I have 3 of these devices - all for my own use. I am writing this review in June 2023 as I still feel strongly (after 10 years ownership of my first BS780, bought secondhand - it is still working 100pc !)) that this is a first rate recorder even when I look at alternatives now available - as these have less functionality and more restrictions on what you can do etc. I have another 2 of these 780s too!! I am future proofing my recording capabilities etc for the next 10 or more years in my view, in case one of these machines finally dies (means I then have another etc) . All hard drive based devices die sooner or later due to hard drive life failure (or the laser in the recorder can fail too). I have had no failures yet, remarkably, which shows the Panasonic quality. I use my main BS780 every day and record in high definition to Blu ray (BD_RE rewriteable disks) and standard definition to ( DVD-RW rewriteable disks) or BD-RE. I have built up my own media library on PC too via use of these disks. This is only possible by using the BS-780 (or BS-880) recorder that can record content including High Definition onto blu ray disks that you can remove from the BS780 and play elsewhere. The way the world is going with licensing issues/restrictions this is the recorder to still buy. Newer recorders, in the main in my view, cannot match its capabilities as they are designed differently with restrictions due to licensing. Now is the time to pick up one of these before they become impossible to find. Read full review

This is an addition to one I already own, as I like them so much. They are easy to use with various ways of recording and the advantage of recording two channels at the same time. The Blu ray player is excellent too. My one slight criticism is that you have to manually open the dvd drawer as there is no provision to do this on the remote.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
If you already have Vieira linked components, then this Sat Receiver is an absolute must, and is totally integrated. The blue ray burner comes as an added bonus. Its difficult to find these new, so buying second hand should not be a worry. You can rely on the Panasonic expected long life, and usually Panasonic owners are as reliable as the kit.
All good, just the right size for where i wanted it.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
This is the second one I have had. First one lasted some 9 years. Excellent recordings
