General Comments

Had my DigiFusion FVRT150 DVR for 4 months and it worked like a (noisy) dream for the first 3. Then they decided to release a software upgrade and everything went horribly wrong. First the machine was refusing to respond to commands from the remote control and wouldn't switch off unless unplugged (when you unplug it it will lose all the EPG information). Then it added to that problem by crashing everytime I recorded something, meaning again that I had to unplug it, thus losing all the recordings I had made in that session. I sent an email to their technical information and after not receiving a reply for 4 days, phoned them and was told that their email person was off sick and that I should format the hard drive and the problem was known to them but there was nothing they could do until a new update was written, but they didn't know when that would be. I then received an email 2 days later telling me that my reception was to blame. I formatted the hard drive and it was all fine until the software loaded again the next night. The old problems started again until ultimately (after formatting the disc a further 4 times) the machine went into hold mode and couldn't be coaxed out of it no matter what. I was unable to watch or record anything on it at all. I emailed them again and have still not received a reply 3 weeks later. The machine has been returned to the store and I purchased a new one from a different manufacturer.
