Thank You Strong SRT

 

My SRT6004 stopped while we were watching a DVD, no picture, no sound , just a dim flickering Red light . We had the unit for 15 months so the 12 month Warranty was outdated by 3 months.,so I wrote to Strong and explained we are Age Pensioners and...

Keeps turning off!

 

I've had mine about 3 years and when I am in playback, it just stops and freezes. I then have to turn it off then on. Also, it is unreliable when recording. 90% of the time it won't record what I have programmed it to. I spent $500 on this product and...

can be updated

Well! Where do I start!?

Good unit

 

My brother in law bought this unit for my Mum, and my husband and I liked it so much we asked him to get us one also. We. have had it for over 3 years Like the fact that you can record 2 programs at a time and possibly more. Like being able to scroll...

Taping multiple programs

Occasionally it turns itself off when I am trying to delete multiple programs. Turns itself on again.

Poor Quality heap of JUNK

 

It sells itself on having lots of features, which it does, but this is an unreliable product, Don't waste your money on it. Buy something that has a proven track record of quality. Strong should be renamed weak! Try to skip forward over a bunch of...

Dual recording with a decent hard drive capacity

It is extremely unreliable and always dropping out and breaking down

A lemon

 

This unit is certainly a lemon. We bought ours in 2010 and spent ages trying to figure out what was wrong as the power off problem was intermittent. Only managed to catch it once and then we discovered why some recordings never happened or were only...

Unreliable. Software also had bugs initially.

Same problems as others with one noticeable exception...

 

Yes we bought a strong srt5492 in may 2010. From the start we had problems, I put up with it for years till finally i had had enough. It was out of warranty, and the reviews got me worried that we were in a no win situation. However.... To their...

Service great, out of warranty but still repaired at their cost.

We're throwing ours out.

 

Terrible. We've owned this machine for 2 years and have had nothing but trouble with it. It consistently shuts down when watching/recording/playback and if if shuts down recording you lose the whole program. Strong had little to no customer support and...

Great concept and features - but unfortunately they don't work.

Overpriced for what we got, terrible service from Strong.

Have had no problems with it breaking down

Poorly designed epg & timer menu

Terrible

 

An absolute pile of [censored word removed]. Keeps breaking down and I had to take time off work to take it in to be fixed. Would highly recommend you stay away from this brand.

Large hard drive, cheap

Has been in to be fixed twice already and still does not work properly. You cant watch any shows due to the poor recording quality.
