Aldi - Technosonic PVR £99.99 - Freeview

Hi There

I've had this box since December when it was first available at Aldi and like many others have experienced much trouble but have continued to bare with the system.

Recently i turned on my box and the picture quality was perfect however, there was no sound and the picture looked like it was being fast forwarded slowly. Has this happened to anyone else? I have turned off many times by the main switch and rescanned channels but im still getting the same problem. Anyone experienced this or have any ideas what to do?

It is still under warranty from Aldi so can be taken back but i love it too much when it works properly!!!

Ive had this - and live tv pauses just freezing and then stopping, playback of recordings from initial turn on freeze as well. Plus on some channels the signal bar is down to about 10%. Most weird.

A big thanks to Jason, who has found the format of the PVR101 disk. More on the blog:

Why don't you all just take them back and get a 160gb twin tuner humax pvr9200t from curry's, only £160 using codes so only £60 more. It's absolutely brilliant, I made the change - so can you!!

Because other than a couple of minor problems with it - we like it. Plus £60 extra is a fair bit of money now we're on the Christmas countdown.

Hi - what codes are you referring to?

Thanks

My box is beginning to annoy me now. it quite often freezes when going from recordings list to play, and the low volume level is frustrating. I am considering returning it before the 12 months is up but what do I replace it with?? i know this question has been asked before but to scroll back through all the pages etc and models have moved on. Something similar please?

Funnily enough mine has recently started doing that too, it has to be switched off at the mains and back on again. Low volume has always been an issue for me.

Mine was freezing as described by Malc D - for a month or so but has stopped doing it now.

Technically minded and interested in being able to transfer programmes from the PVR101 (or similar clone) to your PC?

Take a look a the PVR101 blog, testers are required....
