Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
I bought this product 2 years ago. It freezes when I try to fast forward meaning I can't fast forward at all, it doesn't play most dvd's and 12 months ago it just died completely. Thankfully it was still under warranty so I had it fixed. It has just...
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
This is by far the worst STB I have ever owned. Where do I start? Tuner wont tune in to Chanel(s) 10 or ONE HD, even after numerous factory resets. Other channels constantly pixellate, freeze, and come back to life with a very loud 'schreech' sound....
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Stops recording before end of program 90% of the time. Freezes up on fast forwarding often. Hard drive useless. Only buy if you want to be frustrated. This product was recommended to us by the good guys and I'm not too sure why. When we first bought,...

i have found that my unit will record a timer set program and display the program title in the file list while recording. out of 80 timer set programs recorded, three times after the timer set program ended the program title in the program list was...
large buttom remote control that i expect to have large long lasting pads switch from whatever to whatever. plus the AV input channel
other than three programs being lost the unit is good
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Over the past two years, the SRT 5495 has functioned fairly well - though there are some minor glitches. In comparison to the SRT 5435 500GB twin tuner, Topfield single tuner 320GB and Prima 1TB twin tuner (a rebadged SRT 5435) it is superior in regard...
Reliable, affordable, quality sound and picture with external usb recording.
May accidentally delete unselected files, sound distortion and froze on two occasions.
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Had an earlier version that recorded 2 programs but it kept freezing and distorting sound when fast forward etc. Sent back. After 4 weeks of hearing nothing phoned only to be told hadn't been looked at. Told the Technician that I wanted to record and...
Started doing what I wanted and then shut down.
Strong customer service is dreadful
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Come well packed with basic cables and enough to get you srarted with the DVR. Takes about 5 minutes to set up the set with the provided cables. The set takes about another 5 minutes to scan for all of the local channels, and then you are ready to use....
Good picture and sound
Not a user friendly menu
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Compared to other this unit is difficult to use, poor remote controls and recently has frozen up. Little help from Strong website and help desk.
Expensive, very difficult to use compare to Beyonwiz DP-P2 HD PVR. Remote functionality also poor conpared to Beyonwiz. Recently this unit has gone into super slow mode and is so slow that it is not functional. The unit also will freeze up and will not...
