Some of you may remember a thread I started last May regarding a DVD recorder I purchased from my local ASDA

This thread

 

Well that was the CyberHome CH-DVR 750, it lasted about 6 months :(

It was then replaced with the CyberHome DVR 1600 (as they'd stopped supplying the other one) which lasted about 3 months, which was replaced by another DVR 1600. Which lasted to two weeks ago :headvswal :headvswal So I took it back and got my money back from ASDA

I still wanted one, and still didn't want to spend too much as I am still keeping my Sony DVD player (untill I build my Media Centre PC anyway)

So I had a look through the Argos book and came across the Goodmans GDVD303RW, decided it was cheap enough at only £99.99, so picked one up. That was last weekend :)

 

Guess what just happened about an hour ago???? :D

 

Yep, it's f**ked now as well!!!! :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

I just don't ****ing beleive it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:

Bad luck Dave! :( -I bought a cheapy one from Aldi and had it about 21/2 years now!-can't remember the make tho'?

The thing that gets me is that I hardly ever use it. Ok so I've used it this week, for backing up of old videos ;), and thats what I was doing tonight. Towards the end of the recording, the picture went a little 'strange'. It wasn't pixelated, or fuzzy, it was like a bad internet download. I thought it was the old tape, but after I'd switched it off, the picture from the BBC 1 was just as bad :confused:

I'll be nipping it back tomorrow anyway, and might go for the LiteOn version, as they have a decent reputation, only another £20

stop trying to video hours of porn... lol

or

stop man handling it... your too rough

or

remember you cant strap it on top of your car and expect it to work.

or

actually i am done now.. bad luck mate...

kiinda sorry for the jokes.. but more sorry its happened again.

bugger i thought you were talking about a camcorder..

shows how much i know about technology...

with these type of devices you get what you pay for bud so go for a top quality one, cheep is ok but for quailty and life get a decent recorder

my mate is selling his dvdr70. phillips , hardly used it he only wants 60 for it,, only reason hes selling is its not bin used scince he bought pc ,

I've got one of those^^^^^ and it's brilliant . Had it nearly 2 years now and had no problems at all. £60 sounds like a bargain

Dave i purcahsed a cheap one 6 months ago £140 LG unit and its been dare i say it

Perfect i too expected loads of problems but none at all.

Lg are a majour player in electronic goods so cheap and hopefully half decent
