## Questions & Answers

**Q: it is quite obvious that the dimensions given here are wrong...what are the actual dimensions of this box?**
A: 30cm wide/18cm deep/4.5cm high

**Q: does the smart function have the amazon prime/amazon video app**
A: By pressing the NET button you can view Amazon Prime Instant Video, netflix is also supportec

**Q: Can you reorder channels with freeviewplay ie bbc 1 hd (ch 101) moved to slot 1 (replacing bbc 1 sd)**
A: Hi, I haven't tried to do this myself, but a quick look at my Operating Instructions on page 57 has a section called Settings for Channels. In this section it gives instructions to change the channel number assignment. The Operating Instructions are available from the Panasonic UK website and may be worth a look. Also when you select BBC 1 SD in the Programme Guide you can choose to view or record in SD or HD without having to scroll through the guide. I hope this helps.

**Q: Just bought this unit and it says already "the timer recording list is full." what's that all about. i've only recorded a few programmes?**
A: How do you get to the recorded programmes. my old digital box had a library which stored all your recorded programmes.

    Excellent HDD recorder
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2017*

A great bit of kit, quick and easy to operate. I read many reviews to choose between this & other competitors, and have realised that many of the negative comments are because the user doesn't understand the system. Previous negative comments about speed & jumpiness of the Guide (EPG) & Freeview Play are wrong - the guide & all Freeview Play comes via the internet. So, if you have a slow wifi then these aspects will be poor. However, I fitted a Passthrough Powerline adaptor to make sure that the box gets high speed internet feed. So, the result is excellent. The set loads very quickly, and gives very good HD quality playback of either live TV or recorded programmes. All advertised functions work really well. I opted for the 1TB version to make sure I am not restricted on recording time.

    Good freeview box, but needs more channels to support to support the format
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2016*

My Humax youview box died and after a lot of online research and looking I decided on the Panasonic freeview play box, partly as I was advised in various shops that freeview will replace youview, which will be phased out. The Panasonic looks and feels to be better built than other units I looked at, both you and freeview. The unit was relatively easy and quick to set up, although freeview was not available for an hour or two. For security you can enter postcode, house number and select a choice of questions. (Which I hope isn't deleted, when rebooting, like humax boxes) It runs rings round my humax box in respect of programming and the like. What I don't like is the poor catch up guide, which basically is a just list, it doesn't have the look or feel of the main TV guide. It's other shortcoming is the lack of channels that support this format (only found 'catch up' available on channels 1to 10, unlike youview) hopefully this will change in future

    Easy to use
  

*by A***_ on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2020*

Easy to use . Has so many features. Records 2 channels at once and surprisingly let's you watch a 3rd if that channel is in the same group or ''bouquet'' as one of those you are recording from.The file conversion is particularly good if you are recording a series of maybe 9 or 10 programs you can say to it to record them in 'hm' or any of the other formats to save space. Although after all this time I've never got anywhere near running out of space.  It can miracast your phone to the screen. Its inbuilt apps are great too. Bargain I feel
