Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Video capture

The set can also record TV direct to an external USB drive. These recordings are DRM-free, in .ts format. I played them back using a different media player without problem - not something you can do with A-league brand screens that offer similar functionality.

At 107mm, this 3D panel shows depth in more ways than one


Verdict



I came to this Cello intrigued but ultimately left unconvinced. The lack of a Freeview HD tuner is an immediate deal breaker – and for a budget brand, its on-line price (variable between £475 and £599) still seems optimistically high. The set’s USB playback and recording functionality is refreshingly good though. ®

"Budget"

Does anyone go for budget brands any more? Not sure about anyone else but I'd sooner take those 600 notes down to Richer Sounds and get a last season model of a premium brand.

Dear Cello....Wakey wakey.

I'd rather have a UK based manufacturer concentrate on a quality HD TV and on their spelling than some old technology tat dressed up to look like something it clearly isnt...

No wonder our exports are so low and the japanese based imports are so high.

Sadly (and dissapointingly) a turd with a shiny coat is still a turd.

Who needs pages?

On this subject, why do articles have to be divided across pages? Are readers considered incapable of scrolling through a long page or are the Reg trying to get more page impressions and ads served? If it's the latter, why not show more ads in proportion to the length of the page?
