Satellite Receivers

Straight out of the box and connected within 10 minutes. Only problem, and not with the box, I had to call Comet service to find out what my TV AV setting was for HD. It was my own fault for not looking properly. Comet service great.

Good though the AV quality, speed of use and uncomplicated menu systems are, there's too much wrong with this receiver to recommend it yet. Unless, that is, you have no plans to 'go motorised' and consider timeshift to be a frivolity. The lack of an...

The despatch of the device was fantastic, I ordered it on the 10th and it arrived on the 13th. I had only requested 3-5 days delivery. Upon receipt the PVR was securecly packaged and clearly a brand new item. however this is apparently a Spanish...

I needed a Freeview box to install in my mother's house, prior to digital changeover. This one seemed to fit the bill pricewise and spec seemed OK. I had never installed one before, so expected some setup time. As it turned out it could not have been...

I will use this unit and wait for Mediagate to make a new one with DTS decoding and PGS subtitle (the subtitle format in BD movie) displaying ability. That would be an ideal player. Oh sorry I didn't know Newegg had it. I jumped when I saw XPC**** had...

It's a huge upgrade from the lower models that do not handle HDMI, the interface is really nice but not 1080p just 1080i... I dont personally like the 720p mode.

As is common with many of these own brand software solutions though, the interface leaves a lot to be desired. The skinned control panel is right out of dodgy freeware media player territory, with lots of small buttons whose purpose isn't immediately...

Fabulous satellite HD performance and a boost for SD channels too for a one-off price, but no Sky pay-TV

It has very good value for money, a great digital receiver for your normal analog tv or for your HDTV ready TV. It has a letterbox option, so you can have the widescreen luxury so you dont miss out on the action in the far sides which you would have to...

A superb PVR but at a truly exclusive price

I am very glad I bought this device. It was cheap enough that I could afford something that I wasn't planning to buy for another year at least. My wife is happy because we don't have a stack of video tapes to shuffle through!

This is a must have item. I was able to set up a portable tri-pod with a 3 lnb sat. ant.. In just seconds we were watching the Pepsi 400 in the infield of the Daytona speedway. It will also beep and tone louder the better you tune it in, makeing it...

I have never owned such a great prouduct. I first purchased this item in march 2005 for my living room. In December I purchased an hdtv so I upgraded to an hd dvr. But I did not want to turn it off because I loved it and it had all of my recorded shows...

The consumer comes last at DirecTV. The last time DirecTV changed the cards in our receivers they sent a DEFECTIVE product. The rep in tech support told me the first round of MASSIVE FAILURES occurred weeks after the cards were shipped. Despite the...

The Hughes HIRD-E11 DirecTV receiver is about as basic as you can get. It is extremely limited with only a 36-hour program guide and it is very difficult for anyone who wants to record a number of different series every week. You must remember to set...

A great little box that is surprisingly powerful. Very easy to set up and even install other images providing you have a bit of technical knowledge (or can follow guides on the net). Overall a great value for money especially if you are on a budget.

Chomecast is way better for video and easer in general, however, I just plug this into a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECTHIKK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 so i can just output the audio to my Sonos players and stream my Mac's...

Super bit of kit, not that portable. Firstly I had difficulty getting the arm to slot in, as the slide in section was slightly smaller than the arm was wide. Had to force the sides apart a few millimetres to get it to fit, so sorted that. The whole...
