I told my old man to buy a digivox about one month back, since then i only asked him over the phone etc how it was working and so on, he said it was perfect etc etc, so like he said, i reported in here that it was perfect too as i trust him that way.
Anyway, last night i went up to his house, and had look at box etc, first thing i noticed was the obvious problem with the 16:9 widescreen, its not right, simple as that !
You have the button on the remote control to switch between 16:9 and smaller picture, but its actually false, the 16:9 is actually just a zoom function that makes the picture zoom in so that its full screen, but in the process it crops some of the picture at either side of the screen and you also get a drop slightly in picture quality, when you take the other option and make the picture smaller, yes you get true widescreen, but with the big black band at top n bottom of screen, so ya lose picture size top n bottom of the screen.
So in reality, the digivox is more or less just acting like a eurovox in this respect.
This issue shouldnt put anyone off buying one of these box's as to the majority of people they probably wouldnt even care or notice the difference, but i certainly can, and it would put me off buying one, apart from this, the box is fine.
I cant understand why the makers of eurovox, starview, digivox etc cant simply make the box to work perfectly on 16:9 widescreens etc, I mean, surley it cant be that difficult to make the box's work properley when they make them, bloody idiots, lol.....Do they think maybe everyone is sitting with old fashioned 4:3 tv's ??? Well if they do, they are wrong !!! I will shout this too them ""MOST PEOPLE NOW DAYS ARE USING WIDESCREEN TV'S YOU BUNCH OF FOOLS"", so get it fixed please.
