Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
I bought our SVR1000 about 4 years ago and it has been fine. I did not find the lack of name of the recording an issue, I just wrote the program, date etc. in a notebook and kept it by the PVR. I am having a problem now with it as the recordings are...
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
I found this to be a great PVR for the price and the twin tuner worked perfectly, could record two channels and watch a third. Only issue is that the name of the recording in the list is not the name of the program you recorded. Strange as the program...

1 TB HD. Pause live TV. Energy efficient on standby.
Can't watch previous recordings while recording in progress. Unable to "chase" while recording. Manual written in "Pidgeon" English". Can't extend recording time. Can't skip adds etc. No resume feature. Recordings are listed by channel/time, not by...
