For those that aren't wooed by the idea of having a hard-disk drive in their receiver, Daewoo has provided the good old fashioned solution: VHS video tape. Looking like any regular VCR on the market, the SV900...

I bought this a couple of days ago and it does what it says on the packet BUT the packet fails to say that there's a buzzing sound the whole time the recorder is turned on which is totally irritating especially as it's in my bedroom and trying to...

I've had one of these for a few years, which I bought to replace my original DirecTV receiver which had died. It was relatively simple to set up - I had to call DirecTV to activate it, and they needed to send me a replacement access card, so it took a...

If your setup is HDMI based and especially if you have a slightly older A/V receiver between this unit and your TV then steer clear. You can finagle it to where the HDMI handshaking is only a problem between 1080i and 1080p program/resolution changes...

Do not buy this box. I am on my third replacement and it has just packed up as well. Bought it when few TUTV boxes were about and I wish I had not bothered with it. The EPG is awful. The remote flimsy and all three have broken without being abused. I...

Very difficult to use, the CD instruction manual leaves alot to be desired. Compered to my old Route 66 GPS, this Navus system is very slow in picking up the satelites and I have resorted to my old system. The Navus remains in its box

Up side: The favorites option work very well - and can re order the channels to the order to you preferred. Also has a good volume control - so dont need to use the amp volume or TV volume - at least one less control to meddle with. Down side: ...

This is only a good buy if you want to incorporate it into your fitness plan, if you love exercise you will love it. I have it plugged into my freeview box and everytime I change the channel I have to adjust the aerial - this never happened with my old...

First impressions were great, good picture, sound and EPG. As well as being very intelligent about managing clashing recordings (It would select an alternative time of a programme to avoid clashing) But then the failings started to emerge - basically...

This Bush Freeview box, the DFTA1, is a stylish slimline affair, with rounded corners, a silver exterior and a blue fascia piquing interest. Other than that, it's business as usual

This just did not work despite the time spent trying to get some sort of reception. A different ariel at less than half the price did the job perfectly

This has component outputs, the analog way to transmit a HDTV signal. There is nothing wrong with that, because they carry full resilution of HDTV. Almost no Projection HDTV has DVI, smaller HDLCDs do not, really only expensive Plasma, LCD, and...
