Bought the SAGEM DTR94 unit about 6 weeks ago to replace the Sky+ Box but only just started using it after Sky contract ceased.
Fitted to existing satellite cables and got 90% signal strength & 100% signal quality, pictures are superb in both HD & SD.
Network connected and BBC iPlayer is great, waiting for other services to be added.
Now the bad bit based on three days use:
first problem is it thinks its recording 2 progs when it isn't, also got stuck in the programme guide, only way to cure it is switch power OFF & ON.
Next stage is to do a factory reset. this cured all the nasty bugs (for now).
So I thought I'd give it a full on test, recording 2 HD films at the same time and watching one, Pause, FF, Rewind all worked fine, picture and sound were excellent.
Then the hard disc crashed with a message i'd have to reformat, I investigated the Library and could access all the previous recordings but on playback couldn't FF, Rewind pause or even Stop the playback, solved by switching off for 30 secs then back on. Re-formated the hard-disk and had to do another factory reset.
Has been working fine for an hour now.
If problems persist i'll contact Sagem and take the unit back.

Took about 10 minutes to set up including taking it out of the box. The cables that come with it are standard and the picture is not quite as good as with my normal freeview TV picture, but that could be an issue with the cables?
Its easy and straightforward to use. I had sky plus before and this just plugged straight in to the same satellite dish cables etc. The menu is smaller to read than the sky one, but otherwise essentially it does all the same stuff and I'm not having to pay a monthly fee for it.
