General Comments
For the first 18 months I was pleased with the performance of my DigiFusion FVRT100. However, now there is no longer any warranty it is failing on a daily basis. The support team had to replace the mains supply unit under warranty some time ago, but I am now finding the unit dying overnight. It will either display an incorrect time (presumably the time when it fails) or will show a channel number, but in either event it will not respond to either the remote control or the standby switch on the front panel. There is a lenghty procedure to reactivate it but involves clearing the hard disk which results in the total loss of any unseen recordings. I have e-mailed the support team several times. They eventually reply, but today they seem to be ignoring the last two cries for help! I will certainly not buy another of their products unless a miracle happens and the unit is repaired under the statutory rights act where I should expect a reasonable length of fault free use. I leave you to guess what their reaction to that was!
