UkayJ's review of Philips HDT8520

“within 6 months it is unusable”

★☆☆☆☆

written by UkayJ on 05/04/2012

first of all it records both the standard definition channel and the HD channel which takes up both recording slots with no way to delete either.

cuts off the end of some recordings, doesnt record others.

recordings often suffered out of sync sound.

towards the end it kept turning itself off, then resetting itself-requiring channel searches, now it can't even finish a channel search without resetting and trying again but to no avail.

it is now completely unusable.

this is the second freeview PVR to break on us (first was a sagemcom)so im beginning to think they all have their problems however from what i have researched it seems humax is the best bet.
