| 1349270 | 2013-07-22 00:34:00 | Last night my el cheapo Freeview unit announced that it had found a new channel and would instal it (lol) and I too now have the new sports channel with no intervention on my part whatsoever. It is a Loranz, you can record off it via USB but I haven't tried, I'm using the AVI output but it has a high quality one as well HDMI, I don't have the lead, although I have connected an identical unit to mine this way for someone else and it is an improvement in visual quality. Cost $69 from Harvey Norman, they had heaps of them on special about 2 months ago. Here's one reason why they might have been only $69: When thery first came on the market I bought two, but I've now had six, one of which is still going strong, but the other five failed after varying periods of time, ranging from first switch-on to a couple of months. The guys at HN were very helpful and replaced them without question every time, but in the end they invited me to choose any other brand off the shelf at no charge. I chose DISH TV (which is not a patch on the Loranz) but at least it is still working. Being a techie type, I checked out a lot of similar looking brands and found that many of them have exactly the same Loranz internals and back panel. I would still buy another Loranz, if only I could guarantee it would keep working! Cheers Billy 8-{) |
