Warning - waste of money

 

Purchased this product and most frustrating thing is that recordings just drop off with 5-10mins to go. This is even though I prompted the unit to record 15mins after the finish time. Some shows do not record at all and some shows that I did not record...

Save your money!

 

Absolute rubbish. Freezes regularly. Time was set to another region & nobody could find a way to adjust it. This affected the appearance of the current programs on the guide and put the recording out of sync. On numerous occasions it did not record at...

Worthless rubbish and total waste of money

 

I bought this product in April 2013 to record my fave TV shows and paid over $300. It did work for a few months but not anymore. I have to constantly reboot and have restored factory settings and updated software more times than I can remember. It says...

Waste if Money

 

What a total waste of money this item has been. Nothing but unreliable and useless, won't tape programs, just a black screen, or starts taping in the middle of the program, how ridiculous is that! Don't waste your money, useless piece of equipment!...

Small and compact with WiFi connection.

Records a black screen most of the time instead of the program or starts taping in the middle of the program, how useless.

Not good!

 

Got sidetracked into buying this as a replacement for our dead TiVo. All seemed fine, until test recording of two different channels failed. First recording was fine, but the other channel - initially showing in the Library- disappeared. Spoke to...

Seemed easy to set up. Great price!

No good for recording two channels at once.

Don't buy one

 

I bought one of these from David Jones at the beginning of January this year. It kept losing all of our scheduled recordings, also froze, but recovered after reboot. After speaking to the Bush warranty people, we exchanged it for another of the same at...

it was useless as it could not hold recording bookings

Value for money

 

I purchased a Bush BVR1TBBFV model in June 2013 and like many of you had issues like unit froze, wouldn't record all programs set to record etc. I did the logical thing and contacted Bush regarding updates to rectify these issues. After installing the...

Easy to operate, simple to set up and inexpensive

So Far So Good

 

This unit was quite cheap for me and so far it's doing its job well. On the downside, there is a delay in turning it on and the tv program's starting and if the unit is "busy" updating recorded/recording shows, you can't get the program guide up (this...

Inexpensive, ease of use
