Bad Points: Stalls but turning it off, seem to be ok afterwards, don't channel swop fast forward back and forth as it does confuse the unit..
General comments: It's a simple unit and seems to pick more channels then the cheap unit that I bought for the spare bedroom, also allows subtitles and programmes your TV to record when your'e out...a definite unit to buy...

I previously had digital TV from NTL, so I had something to compare against (I got rid because I wouldn't pay for the extra channels, and I was effectively renting the box to receive the Freeview channels, plus the box kept overheating).
I wasn't expecting too much from the Pioneer DBR-TF100GB Freeview box, as I had researched the transmission bitrates etc... and they are not as high as they should be. Many reviews I had read about Freeview, complained about the effect this had on picture and ...

I bought a Pioneer DBR-TF100GB as I was unhappy with the detail in the picture from a less expensive, competitor's box. The Pioneer's picture is marginally better but it's not really obvious. Will this be the future of all TV...really clear, no interference or ghosting but with faces devoid of much of their texture and detail? If so, this is a retrograde step from current analogue picture quality.
I set up the remote to control the Philips TV too, and system control became really, really easy ...

Got a Pioneer DBR-TF100GB as a birthday present last month to replace my old Pace Adapter which just died for no apparent reason. I was glad, despite the very reasonable quality of sound and picture they both used to go out of sync very easily and as for the stupid connection on the back requiring a splitter which reduced signal strength and increased popping.. pah. The Pioneer on the other hand oozes class. Looks-wise it's fine but nothing special but it does a great job. Quick and easy to set ...

Found the Pioneer DBR-TF100GB system simple to install against my TV, DVD and TV setup. TIVO controlls channel switching effortlessly. Get a few blips/breaks in trasnmission but I do live almost in a wood in a well, and normal RF reception was almost unavailable, so transmission breaks i was expecting.

I'm not sure if this is normal or whether I'm just having a run of bad luck but not only did my TV blow up recently (see review of replacement Toshiba 36ZP38) but my Daewoo DS608P freeview STB quit quite unceremoniously in the midst of Tweenies or suchlike.
Maybe not so unlucky after all as it did so 11 months and 20 days after purchase. Hah! Should be replaced under warranty.
Trouble is that the Daewoo was no longer available and the alternative Setpal equipped box (Labgear) did not meet ...
