TEAC HDR2500T Review

I wasn't sure which answer to choose re "Time DVR Owned" because even though I have been the owner of the TEAC HDR2500T since mid-October 2009 it started playing up after the few weeks and the bugs(constant freezing and intermittent sound on the program being watched whenever the unit was recording) eventually became so bad that I took it back to the shop by the end of November 2009.



It then spent 6 weeks with the TEAC service provider before coming back with a note stating that the unit had been "fully tested" and that no problem had been identified.



I refused to accept back the unit and challenged the store staff to set up the unit in the shop to see whether the problem had in fact miraculously managed to resolve itself.



Sure enough as soon as the unit was set up and the record button was pressed the program being watched had its sound cutting in and out.



Anyway TEAC have now decided to send the unit down to its 'main' service centre (hopefully giving them the clear instruction to connect up the unit as part of the testing?). I am now told that I will have to wait another 6 weeks before the unit is either repaired or replaced.



I wouldn't touch another TEAC product with a barge pole.
