happy. it does what it says

Really happy with this. It provides exactly what it states in the brochure. Whilst the instruction manual was a little hard to understand, the product itself is excellent

The TV was better than it was before.

Bad

This unit should be an embarassment to Sony. Clearly others have had similar problems and now we can buy much cheaper reliable units I cannot justify spending the money on repairing yet again this expensive ($900) unreliable piece of junk.

Share remote for STB and Sony TV

Failed twice in 4 years. Very expensive to buy and also to repair. Unreliable, dropped channels including favourites
