Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
The first one froze in the first hour, I persevered for 6 days before returning it, it froze numerous times a day in that period. I called tech support, they told me to do a firmware upgrade, no difference, I took it back, Dick Smith swapped it, new...
Nothing, if it's media player worked it'd be a bonus. The brand and the product have no redeeming features
Everything, it just doesn't work, when it does, the EPG is crappy, it always crashes, and takes ages to power up
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Bought for $40 at Dicksmith November 2011.Tuner can't get C31 even though previous 3 could(Strong,Thomson,Dicksmith).TEN network gets affected by my DVD player which is plugged into my VCR.
Able to watch one and record another show from the same network. Can record a show and then(while recording) watch a file.On screen info generally easy to read due to dark background.
'View' and 'power off' only works when STB is on.Cannot set 'view' from EPG must go to timer.Cannot modify record times if using EPG to record. No 'resume' play of files. No stop time when manually recording.No channel skip.

Not reliable
