Re: Mini Scart Freeview Digital TV Receiver & Recorder

I have just bought one of these.
It produces a good enough recording, all right.
The set up booklet is woefully inadequate. So many things (buttons)and abbreviated terms like "PAL" setting etc, not even mentioned. You will need the help telephone line or your original TV set up handbook to work out what it was you just altered!
A BIG DRAWBACK is the fact it appears you can only record the channel you are watching. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known that, defeats the object of the thing.
Signal strength has altered, have to play with it some more.
To be honest, I think there is a first class idea here, it just looks as though the inventor suddenly had a more interesting idea and left it half cock!
Oh, yes, I managed to set it up ok but had no sound. Pressed every combination of buttons I could think of and.....nothing!
Help line........"you have to turn the sound right up on the TV and then use the new handset to fine tune it."
Thinking of setting it up on another TV just to record???
Overall report; could do a whole lot better, needs to try harder. 5/10
