It's not perfect true, but it will never be, so many features that one user likes. others dislike.”
I am returning my box today. I have not decided what to replace it with as of yet so can't say. The main thing that stops it acting as a reliable freesat+PVR for me is the fact it has missed recordings 3 times in the short time I owned it.
I agree that features I like others may not and vice versa. It can't do everything for everyone but what I do expect is for a product to do what it is supposed to do.
I don't like to accept substandard goods especially when I pay an early adopters price for them. I have no doubt that others are willing to live with bugs etc due to the fact that they can get their hands on the item straight away. But in my line of business if I released an item to the market that was not able to do what I claimed it was I would be laughed out of town.
Given time software updates will come which will fix much that is wrong but I don't see why I should have to wait for updates. It should do what it claims to do, out of the box.
I hope you and everyone else has many years of enjoyment from their boxes and thank everyone for their contribution to the forum.
