NEW Freeview HD Set Top Digi Box FULL HD 1080P Digital TV Receiver Tuner Terrestrial

Very happy with product.

I don't normally write reviews. For the very low price this is remarkable. Setting it up was really easy and the instruction booklet is more than adequate albeit difficult to read due to the small text. You must use the remote to control it, so the sensor must be plugged in. It's true that the remote is a little clunky and the guide is not the sort typically found on more expensive devices, however the guide is very easy to use and once you get used to it, quite acceptable. I have been recording programs via the PVR for the few weeks that I have owned it and it has never missed a beat. The picture quality is excellend via the hdmi connection. You can schedule many recordings over many days/weeks, you only need to ensure that you have sufficient storage on your usb stick. That it records to a memory stick is an advantage to me as it allows to transfer recorded programs to the pc where if need be, I can then play the program on Windows Media Player or VLC etc. Once copied to the pc you can convert the video (mts.) into another file type to suit the needs of any portable player. I have played the recorded mts. video on a different LG smart tv via it's usb port and it works absolutely fine, so mostly I intend to keep with the mts. format. I have only had the device for about a month, so if it goes kaput I will edit this review.

User interface is dreadful - you cannot scroll through the EPG without it tuning to the channel selected. Programs can't be deleted from the recording list, you have to do it from the multimedia menu. I found the recordings to be very poor quality (some were unwatchable). It reacted to my TV remote - increasing the TV volume selected 3 on the iView and other buttons also did strange things (the receiver remote did not change any TV settings).

Very good value for the price. Good picture and recording quality and easy to install. Would advise using manual channel scan if your aerial picks up from more than one transmitter as the auto scan will store the programs on a first found basis regardless of signal strength. Marked down 1 star as it can occasionally "drop" a multiplex channel contents into the 800 (unknown) program number range so you need to re-scan that channel. Also the provided user guide does not reflect the remote supplied. Apart from that very pleased with it and would recommend for a simple single tuner / recorder.

Works really well. We couldn’t get a replacement remote tho

Great find hope to deal with you in the near future

What a brilliant item. Cheap price. Easy to set up. Picture and number of channels first class. Money well spent.

Adaptable
