Re: Returned my Dgtec HDPVR5009 to Dick Smith

Have had ours for two months now. For the second time, unfortunately tonight with the children watching a show I'd recorded for them, it has completely FROZEN. Reached a point, then suddenly stopped. No matter what you do....turn it off, restart, or turn it off, go to a point just before it froze, it gets stuck in the same place. The rest of the show will NEVER be viewed. 9 year old son went off and 13 year old daughter said it was the worst day ever. He begged me to see if I could find a fix on the net...but nothing. Right when the Tokyo Shock Boys walked onto Good News Week. <sigh>

Another point, if you click more than once accidentally the SAVE function, when you have finished clicking the Blue button then renamed a file, the file gets wiped. You lose the CC button next to it. It has a permanent error and cannot be erased. There goes the first episode of The Killing, a brilliant Danish thriller....down the gurgler. Best NEVER to rename them as I renamed another file and the CC went....meaning the file no longer seems to exist.
