OK

Pretty good in the end, no doubt will have longer life after part replacement. ITs apity as it gives these products a bad name, even though the menu system is one of the better I have seen.

Terrible

Poor value. Would not recommend buying this set top box due to its short life span. I had experienced similar problems with the two DSE G7659 I had previously.

Easy to set up and use.

The two I bought both failed within weeks of each other just out of warranty. Very disappointing.
