Daewoo DS608P

I had cause to contact Daewoo in AUGUST 2008, because my set-top box stopped working due to the digital changes being implemented at that time. Despite sending TWO e-mails, neither were responded to, and it is now November 2009.

With Customer Care services like that, I would advise anybody thinking about buying a Daewoo product NOT TO!!!

i was happy with this unit until the big retune 30.09.09 now it is scrap!!

what a rip off.the last time i buy anything daewoo, how can freeview get away with this?

The Daewoo DS608P is only 18 months old but is now obsolete how can something this new be obsolete? it no longer works as the digital transmission upgrade made this model obsolete and can no longer tune in to any signals

DAEWOO YOU ARE A BIG BIG BIG LET DOWN . Yes I know you have no control over Digital changes however, it is within your control to look after valued customers who in the past have bought your products and even recomended them.

Why were we not told. I have revisited my ds608p piece of scrap for the last week dismanteling unites to fix it. How stupid I felt today after I phoned your customer service dept. My wife has stoped speaking to me, she believes I have lost all her ...HER programes. I should be rewarded with a replacement for my old one and heart ache i have gone through. DO THE RIGHT THING.

I found this unit easy to use until a transmitter upgrade at Sutton Coldfield. After this the unit can't find any channels. From what I read, it is now obsolete. Some owners have been able to get free replacements from Daewoo.

I'm in London and this set stopped working this week. Signal strength is fine through my aerial but the Daewoo cannot read the signals. Only found about it by searching through the internet. Do not buy as this is redundant now.

Whilst I have had 4 good years out of this set top box it is now rendered useless following the recent channel update. Would it have still worked if I had not been foolish enough to update the channel information?The annoying thing is this box cost me £70 over 4 years ago and yes I know a replacement is only £20 but some of the new ones are not without problems !I will never buy a daewoo product again!!

Pity such a good unit dosn't work with upgraded transmitters. now no way to modify it that I have found either - so much scrap now

We felt Daewoo could have informed the public fact that we cant use the box now it just about caused a war in this house .We only read about it in the paper to-day .Never mind we never did get all the channels, now with our very cheep woolies box we get the lot. Please make it public so people know the problem.

It is no longer able to pick up signal in several counties in UK e.g devon & cornwall and was a waste of money now they are reducing coverage county by county.
