Tvonics PVRs

My local ALDI has 250GB PVR with twin tunoers for £100. It's this one, I
think:

We've got two of the 160G (I think) version of this that came from Tescos.

Overall, I'm very pleased with them. They're low-power, compact and
unobtrusive, easy to use and have been reliable.

Best feature - the remote is a 3-in-one that will also control the TV and
DVD player. I even got it to work with an ancient ITT set. It's smart
enough to always control volume and mute on the TV whichever mode it's
switched to.

Niggles:

1 - I wish there was a way to digitally copy recordings off them. I know
others will start singing the praises of Humaxes and Toppies...

2 - There isn't (so far as I know), a series link function. Ditto...

If you just want something simple and reasonably cheap, go for it.

I couldn't stand not being without at least my Toppy's USB 2.0 port.
(Ethernet of course would be better any day.)

Fundamentally a good unit albeit with some idiosyncrasies in the way the
menu systems works and the limited ability to sort channels.
