The single worst equipment purchase ever

by Michael on Mar 31st, 2008 at 4:44 PM:

We bought on eBay and thus have limited recourse - so we bumble along with it.

The unit freezes, doesn't recognize disks, loses recordings, loses audio, and can take a minute to power up. Yes we did the firmware update from the Philips website. I've never owned such a useless device. We'll be taking a bat to this piece of crap soon. Shame on you, Philips.

Puzzled.

I have had my unit for about 20 months and lately when I try to archive a movie or program, it will not complete the process but instead goes to a disk error message and I have to unplug it to reset.

Frustrating

Great when it works, but freezes frequently. Every time it freezes I have had to unplug it to get it to reboot. Every time it happened, I lost any recordings already completed.

Ok, but needs work

when it works it works, but will hangup and may have to turn it off to reset it. Also will drop when making dvd and ruin the dvd installed. also will change channels on its own, that kills you when recording from an external device.

Good and bad

I've had mine for about a year now. The software is terribly buggy. It "crashes" and freezes all the time. Not reliable for scheduled recordings. Works well when it works, but software crashes make it a pain to use. Sometimes I even have to unplug it just to get it to "reboot".
