Is this a good PVR? Bush IDPVR802B

x3ja

I've spotted the Bush IDPVR802B on Amazon for £74.99 and it looks like a good deal. It's a shame Bush don't have a website yet so I can look up the proper specs of it, but this seems very good value. It's an 80Gb dual-tuner PVR. THe main problem I have is that I can't get much information on it - it seems to be very new and as such unreviewed etc. Anyone happen to have one? I think it's a pretty cheap deal. And after buying one of the Tevion ones from Aldi and returning it within a week, I thought I might give this a go.

Maybe I'll just be forced to learn the lesson "You get what you pay for", I hope not.

I have a similiar looking Bush PVR, although only 1 tuner ( and can't remember whether its 40 or 80 gb)

Its ok, but nothing special - after 10 months it now freezes up most days

Up to that point did it work OK? Or has it freezed regularly throughout?

I found this thread on Digital Spy forums that seems to suggest it's like the Aldi one, so don't think I'll go for it...

Alway's worth remembering "you get what you pay for" buy cheap ,get cheap.

fairly early on...
usually over night - not a major issue, it would just be struck on the last channel- turning off/on, did the job.

Does not always like playing recorded programs if input aerial connected.

Does not like a preset recording being stopped early ( 50/50 chance of losing it)

Hi

I've just posted some details on the digitalspy forum here:http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=498447

As far as I can tell this isn't a reboxed version of the Aldi Tevion pvr. First impressions are it's a fairly good box (for the price anyway).

Hope this helps

Andy

I've just got this and I'm very happy with it. I flashed the firmware to enable recording of two programs at the same time. It's quiet and appears to work well so far:beer:

We got a Daewoo 9502T form Tecno.com for £89.99 a couple of weeks back to compliment our Humax 9200T. It's a very good machine, but they don't seem to have stock at the moment and everyone else is charging much more.

A bit late looking at your date. I bought two and they are brilliant. Twin tuners,little niggles seem to sort themselves out. Most digital problems are due to poor reception. Check aerial and connections. I would buy another(dumped my Sagem)
