Hi everyone.
I’ve been looking at the Eurovox PVR and I’ve read a couple of reviews but now that the box has been out for a couple of months I was hoping to get the opinions of owners that have been using these boxes on a day to day basis and what they are like to live with and any reliability issues / any quirks etc – the kind of information you would only know if you had been using one regularly for a while.
I do have a few questions.
1). How many ( if any ) failed recordings have you had?
2). Can you add “padding” to recordings ( a few minutes to the start and end to allow for programmes starting late etc )?
3). Is the remote responsive? ( I’ve got a cheap DVD/DIVX player with an awful remote – you have to have it pointed at exactly the right angle and often have to press the button 2 or 3 times… ).
4). I’ve read various bits about the way Eurovox’s handle windscreen. Does this properly display 16:9 pictures – or is it at least acceptable?
5). Any other issues you care to mention?
I realise it’s not going to compare to a Sky+ / Virgin+ box but as long as it does what it says on the box ( so to speak ) I don’t think you can complain.
I suppose the only other thing is do you know if there any other PVRs on the horizon that might be worth waiting for?
Finally I’ve seen a few different websites selling the box and they all seem to be around the same price ( once you’ve added delivery etc ) so if anyone has any opinions on whether one place is more repeatable than another then I would appreciate it.
Thanks for your help.
