Only good for friggin landfill
Five years my Altech (DSR 4639) lasted and the whole time it gave nothing but trouble till it finally gave out last week.
They should only be sold in Reject stores, because that's where they belong, and the price should be $2.50 like many of their other goods
Now, to replace it, I bought the latest Altech (4921) and you might wonder why, it's because there's nothing else but an Altech that will pick up the Government sponsored VAST satellite signals - there's no competition, there's no other choice but to put up with another piece of Altech junk
When I received the new 4921 and connected it up, I thought it couldn't get any worse. While the box works ok so far, it's new, but you can hardly see the lit up displays on the front panel, they're that bloody small you need binoculars to make out what they are
The TV guide is a mass of lines and show names all the same colour and the way it's set up, scrolling through becomes a nightmare
Recording (with external hard drive) requires pressing multiple buttons and by the time you get it all done, you've missed the beginning of the show
I believe the Government gave the monopoly to Altech to make receivers for the VAST satellite system, therefore it seems, Altech doesn't care how good or bad their boxes are, and they probably have built-in obsolescence anyway
At times I swear the Soviet Union came to Australia, crap goods, take it or leave it - Did someone say China?
