Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Good PVR for the price

 

I bought our SVR1000 about 4 years ago and it has been fine. I did not find the lack of name of the recording an issue, I just wrote the program, date etc. in a notebook and kept it by the PVR. I am having a problem now with it as the recordings are...

Only problem is the recording list information

 

I found this to be a great PVR for the price and the twin tuner worked perfectly, could record two channels and watch a third. Only issue is that the name of the recording in the list is not the name of the program you recorded. Strange as the program...

Loss of stations

 

This unit was given to me as a Xmas present and no record is available of its purchase. It was going along fine until we had a power blackoput and I was surprised to find we lost all stations. The unit had to be completely rebooted and when we...

Hard to navigate

 

As with other comments being made the Senzu is very hard to navigate. Sound does not always sync with picture. Hard disc in the one I purchased failed twice and had to be replaced twice. Out of 52 weeks from purchase it was in for repair for 20 weeks....

Not reliable

Bad warranty service

You get what you pay for....

 

First of all, I will say that out unit does work - but then it's only 2 weeks old so it should! For the price it is well specified (1TB, 2 tuners). The problem with this item is that it's just so user-unfriendly. There is no need to fail in this...

It does work.....

....it's just so bloody awkward to use

The 1 T hard drive

Sound not in sync with picture. Very slow to load up when it has been switched off.

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

A basic unit at an affordable price

 

This unit does the basics of a PVR at an affordable price. However don't expect it to perform like the more expensive units.

1 TB HD. Pause live TV. Energy efficient on standby.

Can't watch previous recordings while recording in progress. Unable to "chase" while recording. Manual written in "Pidgeon" English". Can't extend recording time. Can't skip adds etc. No resume feature. Recordings are listed by channel/time, not by...
