Some problems, all fixable.

 

Some problems, all fixable.

I too have had some problems, but all are easily fixed, wouldn't recomend unless you're at least a bit tech savvy as the fixes can be a bit awkward to implement. When working it is a good box with plenty of features. As for the problem some people...

Dissapointing!

 

Dissapointing!

A nice looking unit that was quick and easy to plumb in. Automatic set up was also very easy if a little long (over 20 mins to complete first time install). Fan noise not too loud but it would be great if it were an 'intelligent' fan, i.e. only spins...

Awful awful awful...

This is by far the worst piece of electronic equipment I have ever bought. It has finally died and feel it deserves an epitaph for its year of dreadful service. For a start it is really noisy, and I mean REALLY noisy, you have to turn the tv up to be...

Excellent value

Bought from amazon as a refurb and am really pleased. Arrived in 2 days, plugged it on and working inside 5 minutes. Remote is Sky-style and easy enough to use, only slightly awkward bit is having to enter your tv type for it to operate tv functions...

Do not buy this product

 

Do not buy this product

Please do not buy this product. It will break down on you, probably a software fault, and you will find that no-one is interested in fixing the problem because there is no fix. It is better to do without a recorder than to have this one.

Excelent for use as Freeview + Box

 

Excelent for use as Freeview + Box

I was slightly wary of buying this after i had read the hundreds of poor reviews of the Thompson top up tv box. However, i thought I would take the risk as the price was so low. I only use the freeview + EPG as I have no interest in top up tv services...

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

 

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

1. the constant drone of the fan keeps me awake at night, it HAS to be unplugged ! 2. when plugged back in, box will reload, then will decide to reset itself at random during viewing 3. when flicking through the channels it does not display the...

JUNK!! - DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TOPUP TV

 

JUNK!! - DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TOPUP TV

This box is the worst piece of junk I've ever had the misfortune to purchase. I dearly wish I'd read the other reviews which are all over the Internet on different websites describing just how bad this unit is. The main problem seems to be the software...

good purchase

 

good purchase

this product was a good buy and i am very happy with it, the only downside is that sometimes during frozen live t.v the box freezes or the picture becomes distorted and this lasts for about 30 seconds but apart from that this was an amazing purchase!! :)
