ive got through 4 sagem boxes in the last yr (cant decide if I mean year or your), i think this ones on its way out as well. there just as crap as the programmes on there
Most are cheap shit that is why, the Nokias are very clunky and slow, also can lock up but do see to be reliable but definately 1st generation, as were all the Ondodgy boxes, the first generation Sony IDTVs (like the one I sold Albatros) were almost a second generation but not quite, quicker than the Ondodgy boxes, better quality but still not fast. The same tuner escaped into the very rare VTX500 Sony Ondodgy box but it wouldn't run the Ondodgy software properly, but was the best performing of the Ondodgy boxes.
However along with the decent IDTVs, the PVRs and a small number of decent standalone boxes (eg TVonics) most of what is left is real crap, these £15 £20 boxes are pretty bad, they do work but don't expect miracles, nor a long life.
Oh dear - get a PVR they are all wellish made especially Humax Topfield and Tvonics, Sony buy in some rubbish and sell it for a premium, yet manufacture in the UK for another company with a different brand.
Sony sold CS made = rubbish
Sony made odd brand sold = good
