 sloppyjoe's recommendation | |
Nice box, good quality picture.
Very slow, crashes from time to time and the menu navigation is terrible. TV Guide stopped working
I expected it to operate like the Sony VTX-D800U FreevIew box which we have, but the menu system is completely different - the TV picture and sound shuts off when using the menu system. The guide (listing the TV programmes) has become progressively shorter until now it does not list any programs.
Bought it from Argos for £180, but get a demo before buying. It's a real dog and not up to Sony's usual standard - seems more like Sony have stuck thier name on a generic OEM box.
