Panasonic TU-CTH100 - HELP!

[Focker]

Purchased the panasonic pvr, April 05, after reading endless reviews praising its performance.

But from day one it crashed, recorded programs i hadn't programmed, didn't record programs i had programmed, took over 12 seconds to change channels, the pause live TV only worked occassionaly and fast forwarding sent it into shock. So after false promises from panasonic that software version 47 would fix all of these 'KNOWN' software bugs i changed it for a replacement, October 05, more fool me.
My new box has failed to record 6 of the 7 programs we prgrammed and it is driving me f*!cking mad.
Please someone tell me, is it me? am i missing something?

HELP!

Regards

Focker

You are not alone! Read this thread:_

and you will see that others have major problems with this PVR, but a new firmware update is due at the end of October.

I had one of these for a few weeks. And took it back for a refund. Junk.

I have three Panasonic dvd recorders which all give excellent service. Surprised that they should market such a fault prone PVR. Fortunately I already had the utterly reliable Digifusion PVR which has never failed me in almost eight months now. For my other PVR I chose the Topfield 5800t (which still has some glitches to sort out) in preference to the Panasonic. What a fortunate decision this turned out in retrospect.
