Can’t get it working and the month return is up so can’t return.. not happy with this product

Tradional tuner box. Medium sized You get a lot in the box cables - scart, remote control cable.Changing channels is slow because program info loads simulataneously.The device has many options that you have to be sure are set. If you are watching freeview all you channels will be higgledypiggeldy and have weird numbers unless you set the program option LCN to "ON" and sort to "By LCN". The TV format should be PAL not the unwatchable foreign and pc format NTSC.This device doesn't have so many setting options (like setting screen transparency, being able to constantly show a digital clcok or seeing multiple channels on the EPG and visually (1 live and 8 stills ), as its cheaper tiny version, but there are compensations such as recording in advance which you can't on the cheaper version.Like the cheaper version you can have USB and camera card in a the same time for extra capacity. You can record by time where it will record any station you flick on to. You record in advance by accessing the book list via the "info" button via the EPG only. One fault is the colour action buttons don't match the remote but the order is correct so the first button instead of being blue is red ot he remote but the action is still "Add"(a recording).The MAGIC thing I have discovered is that although it doesn't have 2 tuners, which allow you to record and watch any channel, this particular device accidently has the next best thing depending on which chanel you are reocrding you can record and watch from 2 - 20ish other channels as long as they are on the same freqeuncy chanel. Freeview channels are usually from 21 to 29 (find it by doing a manual search) the BBC ones are all on 23 so you can record BBC1 which watching any other BBC channels. The majority of Channel4 stuff is on 26 but a few things like E4+1 are on 22 so you couldn't watch that while recording Film4.The device occasionally resets itself making you lose things. This is annoying as i am constantly having to turn on the subtitiltes, which you have to do via menu not a simple remote button like on the cheaper version. When it resets the last channel stored in the last channel button (that useful button which allows you to flick between the current and last channel) just remains on the current channel. However since i removed the device from the powerdown plug it doesn't reset/ turn the TV off or to standby (like its cheaper version does every 5 mins, both on and off the powerdown plug ) unless it warns you in advance by its power saving inactivity system.

Not loud enough

It is great got it for my dad as his now tv freeview box stopped working I can use it ok but my 76yr old dad not as quick with it but he'll get there gets all the channels he go b4 as his tv did get all the channels he had b4 so that's y I ordered him this box.

Very good

I bought this to replace a defunct 12 yr-old digital recorder.On that recorder & my current TV, I choose to record a programme or a series and I get a list of recorded programmes.This provides a list using the channel & a time code as the file name. You can individually rename the files using the usual clunky on-screen keyboard but it takes a while.It doesn't record series, but time slots. So it will record, say 17:00 to 18:30 EVERY day, but if the programme is moved, or doesn't show at weekends, tough. It just records that time slot every day as far as I can see - I haven't fully investigated.So the interface is from about 15-20 years ago and is NOT user-friendlyI bought the suggested wi-fi aerial.I have a 64GB SD card for recording - scheduled recordings work. But when I press the REC button it tells me No disk foundPicture, sound quality etc. all very good, it's just actually using it where it falls down.
