Death to my PVR

[Cosmo Dude]

Long story short... my PVR would stop audio on SD chanels and never re-start. Tonight I had enough, once the remote failed to function I took my vengeance.

I'll send it back under warranty but something makes me feel they won't honor it

Yes well I've had in my house 3 or 4 now.
the 4th is panasonic and everynoe and then it plays up.

the two sonys and I think another panasonic before it.

Let me just say this We only payed ONCE. bought this thing from Bang less. Just for recording B&B - my mother is massive fan.
I have IQ HD for for the good stuff.

I think the sony had 4 HDD go into and out of it.
the Panasonic they just swapped over - So we lost about 2 weeks worth of B&B.
But the current one had ther DVD as well as it was new and blah blah and you know compensation for such crappy equipment.

but I have to say I've found 80% of the PVR have issues. the IQ's ain't perfect either but my HD no issue Yet. I think it's the tunners in them.

but I will say this I wish I could have done that to any number of them.

I've had a Topfield, which worked great until it didn't. A bank of capacitors commonly blow disabling the harddrive, giving you a PVR minus the R.
Next (and currently) we own a TiVo.
No complaints whatsoever. Does what we want, and even stuff we didn't want or didn't know we wanted (TiVo suggestions).
Huge storage space, annoying menu navigation sound.
