Satellite Receiver Reviews

Purchased the Bad Elf GPS as an add-on for our iPod Touch to allow us to play Wherigo (part of geocaching). Works fantastic. Easy installation. Relatively fast lock on GPS signal and really good coverage when we compared it to our other handheld GPS....

Brought this to send signals from Sky +, BT Vision and DVD player to upstairs TV. It works very well and picture quality is good. Changing channels can be a bit slow but apart from that very pleased with the purchase.

I purchased this because of the good reviews but now wished I had returned the can opener.The reason being that I did not use it for a few weeks as we do not use many tins I then felt it was too late to bother. This has now been in the drawer for a...

Inverto is another brand that's hardly a household name, but again, like Topfield and Humax, it is making a name for itself in the bizarre absence of the bigger manufacturers in the Freeview PVR market.

The DSI86 HD is not a bad receiver but, with Metronic's SAT HD 100 currently going for a tenner less in some stores and throwing multimedia playback into the mix, it's hard to get enthused about it. Even with multimedia features enabled it would still...

Overall, we have the same pros/cons as the Grundig and the Bush, but this is a more stylish box in our eyes

The synergy it lacks with the Sky channels is made up for by its quality and volume of transmissions

Well, it works and it's cheap. Picking up Hotbird for the inlaw's Portuguese TV when they visit. Build quality not great and it has rediculously bright blue LEDs on the front which NEVER switch off!! Set up OK, but not intuitive so read the...

I have never had such a useless machine in all my life and I am now on the 2nd replacement. The first one would not connect to on demand services. The second after 2 days would not come on. The third lasted all of 2 weeks and now it won't connect to...

Yep! Samsung charge premium prices for unreliable goods.... My tuners gone too. Samsung has this approach of mixing various quality components so that a critic who would have the sample product would like the capabilities but does not live with the...

Works fine and easy to set up. This is my replacement as the first one had a mind of its own! Company customer service dilatory.

This machine is great, just what I needed, It does well at recording programs and in very good quality. The only down side is when you fill up a quarter of the 500GB recording space, it slows everything down, the starting up time takes about 4 minutes...

I use this to connect my mp3 player to my portable power pack. The "bean" has a built-in connector for my phone, and this is better than taking a cable along. After all, there's nothing to get tangled up. It's cheap and works great. Why spend more?

I bought 3 of these to receive FM. One out of the 3 did not work. The other two were so-so but their small size compromises their functionality. Similarly I ended up not using them for TV for the same reason. I found the August DTA305 to be much better...

I have always been a fan of Technisat,particularly their Satellite Receiver range, but in this case they let themselves down badly by not checking their latest software upgrade (version 1.2.1) for "bugs" and even in the upgraded handbook,...

The box has an impressive 14-day programme guide and you can do all the usual things you can with a Sky+ box: pause, rewind and playback live TV, watch a programme from the beginning while it's still being recorded, and set it to record whole TV series...
