Comments

that too is a cracking deal and a good player. you will get that for £20 ! with the £10 google checkout off0
-
Shall I get it then? Right here - Right now?:j0

mine has just arrived. got it from svp for £37...
off button on the unit switches it off completely - i like to save energy
epg is seven days
super fast at changing channels and starting up (ondigi box took 20 secs!)
lcd shows freeview info, like channel number PLUS clock which always knows the time when it is off.
the system is very sophisticated compared to my on digital box, great features like showing you a sized down picture while accessing tv guides, menus. shows you detailed info about everything you could possibly need to know about the channels you are watching, including channel strength.
different preset sound can be adjusted and for those who hook it up to a hifi or sound system, you can benefit from fewer connections as both dvd and freeview sound comes from one unit
you can choose between wide or 4:3 AND zoom the picture 2x, 4x etc
there are games
you can even organise channel by type: movies, shows etc - loads of little great features like these...
the tray is flimsy, but on the flip side it also looks kind of elegant to be a slim slot instead of a chunky tray. remote isnt too bad, ive seen worse for budget electronics.
ONLY PROBLEM IS NO BBCi, TELETEXT AND COLOURED BUTTONS!?!? also, I think subtitles cannot be activated, though i havent really tried it. oh yeah, there is no rf cable for a lopp through to your tv (so it can pick up the analogue signal - you will need to get your own)0 -
As the player accepts USB, then an external HD may work. If it is has its own external power and is FAT32 then there may be possible to use it.
Be good if someone has one to try it.Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j0 -
my hd is nfts. most people will have this format as that's what recent versions of windows format as default. and it is more secure. so, if anyone can be bothered to reformat a disk to the older file system or have a spare, let us know... but even it works, it will be a nightmare finding files!0

As was said, it's out of stock but the Umax Kazuki DVD-2800X MPEG4/DivX/DVD Player (http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=2344) is available for less (no Freeview). I already have the basic channels from Virgin Media, does Freeview give any more? I mean, if I already have the telly, should I just get this and get over with it? Any suggestions, much appreciated! Thanks!
I've just bought one of these as I already have Freeview built in my tv anyway

- Playback via SD, MMC and Memory Stick cards (image and music files)
- Playback via USB port (image and music files)
My external HDD connects via USB so surely it should work with this dvd player?
