    I think the model number is DVD3210DVX, the only player that can play DivX..

    problems about this player has been discussed here

    Would they still sell a model that was recalled? Wonder if the problem has been solved, if it has the Argos catalogue number on it maybe Argos have just sold their stock to Netto :confused:

  • Bought this Dvd Player yesterday, and although it looks great, I spent most the time restarting the dvd as it kept locking up, and I also tried using the DIVX from a download which was the main reason for the purchase, I ended up watching on the computer!
    It acted exactly as past comments made,
    Wish I had read them before I bought it, Back to Netto I go!
    Avoid it!

    HI

    i have i have bought one, it seems it depends on the media you are using, try diferent types as @ 19.99 you cant beat it for divx playback, i have been using tesco own brand dvd+ and it seems to work fine. Also the quality of the encoding of the file seems to matter as well. i Have 2 differerant quality files on the same disc, one played ok and one played badly..

    good luck..
  • Yep, I picked one up too and it has the freezing / black screen problem with DivX files.

    Waste of time!
