I have to aggree. Appart from being hugely over-priced, particularly with
hard drive for recording tv programmes, is very badly designed and apalling
unreliable. I did a full acessment of the unit about a year ago so it is
possible, though not very likely, that teething troubles have been
erradicated since then. Also, I found the attitude of the company's rep,
(m.d.) evasive and patronising when I voiced my concerns. I think i may
still have the evaluation kicking arround somewhere if it would be any use
to anyboddy. But, notwithstanding, by unequivical advice would be to steer
well clear!!!
Regards,
John
