It is capable AFAIAA.

I notice a lot of whinging in the Toppy forum about the piss-poor operating
system and GUI, comments such as "you need to be a bit of a techie to use it"
are a bit off-putting when I consider that SWMBO is the main user of our
existing PVR (Humax 8000).

If the 9200 uses an operating system and GUI similar to the 8000 it will not be
particularly nice, and I hope that the remote will be a bit more sensible as
well.

Like you, I find the £200 price tag attractive as well.
