 littlejohns's recommendation | |
Slim design, easy to use, large storage capacity.
Very noisy even in standby mode. Slow response time. Unreliable.
Bought the unit in December 2006. First 2 weeks the unit worked well enough however, the unit slowed down considerably, the EPG guide did not download correctly, almost 90% of the channels did not show any program details. 4th week the hard drive crashed, all recorded programs were lost.
Returned the unit and received a replacement. same problems occured returned the unit after 3 weeks and got my money back and bought a Humax.
Later found out that the Sony SVR-S500 Digital Video Recorder is in fact a Digifusion box which has been rebadged as a Sony. Very disapointed with the unit and Sony.
