    Looks like a great deal, but I wonder what the downsides are to this device, every device seems to have them.

    • [Deactivated] on 04/09/2011 - 18:28

      Well its an Astone.
      Check out this review:
      http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/home_entertainment/asto…
      It sum it up pretty well… and just keep in mind that the price the reviewer is talking about is $349.95. So if at that price, he thinks its a good choice …
      then at $139.98 , its definitely a bargain.

  • trev on 04/09/2011 - 18:49

    Watch out for the PVR function … is it a PROTECTED file format?

    I bought a cheap 32" TCL HDTV with usb recording (PVR) and found that I could not play back the files on my PC, only on the TV itself. When I rang their customer support I was told that the files are protected so will only play back on the TV.

    • choofa on 04/09/2011 - 20:12

      Standard TS format - plays back on any platform.

      This is aan okay deal. Single tuner PVR has been twice superceeded with the Astone ap308/410dt and the far superior mp310dt.

      My advice would be to avoid this model and buy a MP310dt and 2Tb HDD for about $200 delivered.

        choofa, you seem to know a thing or two bout these.

        is the OP deal suitable for this task:

        record from normal RCA input directly to a USB stick (that will play on pc or mac).

        ?

        That's the only task I'd like to do.. having trouble finding something that fits.

        (Recording to internal HDD first won't work for my situation.)

        cheers

        • FirstNameLastName on 04/09/2011 - 20:50

          ok.. i saw specs of it.. seems it only has output plugs.

          doh.

          if anyone knows a device that fits.. please help me

        • bargainhunter on 04/09/2011 - 21:01

          "record from normal RCA input" ??
          Are you recording TV? The specs say this has an analogue and digital tuner.

        • FirstNameLastName on 04/09/2011 - 21:16

          hi bargainhunter..

          trying to record, say, an old camcorder straight to a usb stick 'on the fly'.

          camcorder has rca(yellow/red/white) output ability.

          analogue tuner eh..
          i suppose i could maybe find another device that gets an rca signlal and transmits in via analogue/digital for tuners to pick up. not really ideal though.

        • onlyme on 04/09/2011 - 21:18

          I have this device, and yes, it can record from an analogue source to an MPEG file using RCA input.

      • FirstNameLastName on 04/09/2011 - 21:20

        cheers onlyme.. good to know. (pcworld specs said rca was only output)

  • llama on 04/09/2011 - 20:08

    These are a good device, use a reasonable recent realtek chipset.

    The forum is where you learn the ins and outs… http://www.astone.com.au/forum/index.php

    $140 is a good price with a drive. Pull the drive out (say $60 worth?) and you have a fully functional Networked DVR with Media Player and external USB storage for $80.

    HOPEFULLY these devices will be updated to the new Realtek firmware that is currently in the pipeline.

  • Bigsta on 04/09/2011 - 23:44

    anyone know where you can get this cheaper without the HDD?

  • wisc on 05/09/2011 - 09:45

    with many TVs now having an inbuilt PVR, I tend to think its a bit redundant to get a single tuner PVR, the network media centre is good, though, I wonder how long until TVs have the network media centre built in, pretty sure a few would already, my view is its just a matter of time until cheaper units do… think ill hold out, saving the cash for a TV with a network media centre and PVR function.

    The rep from millennius.com.au said they where working on one in the TV thread.

    Hello,
    does anyone know if this can record satellite TV as I have Vision Asia which uses Irdeto? Please advise if any other model does. Appreciate your help.
