$28 Twin Tuner PVR

Everything I've purchased from TopBuy is simply worthless overpriced crap that's generally cheap but worthless. I come across a cheap PVR, I'm tempted. But I promised myself I would never buy from TopBuy again.

What do you guys think? about OMNI, seems too cheap to be true.

  • Sounds okay although its Standard Definition

  • IDE hard drive will be expensive so after your current one dies, it will probably be too expensive to replace.

  • Regarding OMNI: My first DVD player was an OMNI. I was very happy with it. No other DVD player I've owned since has come close to matching the OMNI's bookmarking feature which I had taken for granted. Unfortunately after a heat wave of 50+ degree temperatures, it never turned on again. (Tin roof + no air conditioning = unhappy electronic devices)

  • It is discussed at length in this DVT Forum link. It appears to have a number of frustrating problems and suspect reliability: http://www.dtvforum.info/lofiversion/index.php/t41822.html

  • Be warned. A friend bought two units, neither of them would record to hard drive. Topbuy then spent 1-1/2 hours on the phone trying to dissuade him from returning them. Avoid them.
