Danlaur, can you tell me briefly how torrentspy works? is it a simple download website, and are the videos good quality and what they say they are (i.e download a film and it turns out to be !!!!!!)

Been using Limewire but it's intermittent. Great when it works, crap when it decides not to!

Got rid of limewire... & bearshare... etc....

The thing to remember with torrentspy is that like any other website, it is prone to abuse !!....

That said, I always search simply for "axxo".... s/he has always provided excellent quality vids... which are up to date, and with a portfolio of about 380 ++ on line at moment.... theres something for everyone.

Always read feedback from others... it is important ( just like on ebay) to give & receive in order for genuine users to make informed decisions

( To use... put your text in search box, & click go.....look at found files / folders, and click download ... I also use azureus as a downloading programme... but there are others .... torrentspy recommends bitlord bt I've never used it )

Enjoy

I have recently received one of these units and have a question that I am sure you will be able to answer very quickly

I can convert a DVD onto my computer with no preblems and can even make and ISO disk image (good for you I hear you shout).

What I would like to know is how to reduce the size of the files so that they dont take up so much space and will play on the unit. I have seen a lot of talk about Divx, Xvid and the like and also of a movie being 700Mb in Divx format but I have tried using the software that comes with the unit and it does not seem to be reducing the size at all.

Any chance someone can give me a quick 'idiots guide' on how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

I got this today;

Dear Sicandar

Apologies for the delay in replying.

I have tracked your order with our courier Amtrak and it has gone missing.

Unfortunately the VP6200 has now sold out and we do not have a single unit available to send again for you.

I’m afraid we will have to cancel and refund this item for you. Your refund will be actioned today.

Apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

Should you still be interested in purchasing a PVR we have a great offer at Goodmans Direct.

This is probably NOT what you want to hear.... but it IS good advice....

From your post, it is not actually Grundigs fault.... get over it...or it will eat away at you !..

Instead, Bite the bullet, and either buy the alternative, check out Amazon, or
take a look on ... eg Ebay

It's not the end of the world.... then again... I got mine ages ago... & its gr8 ! .... sorry to rub it in !

Keep Smilin' !

Does anyone else have a problem with their joystick? Mine leans towards the left and everytime I use it, it feels like its going to snap off? Should I be worried?

Mine to hangs to the left.....joystick that is!!.....lol.....the wife wouldn't be impressed if it snapped off either!!.....lol

Joking apart, I had to return my first player since the joystick kept sticking. Got a replacement and seems fine now.
