Hi I am a newbie and thinking of buying the replay pvr box. Can anyone tell me if it's any good? Also is there anywhere to find software to load on? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I too am interested in this box and again would appreciate any reviews. As above any software sites would also be a bonus. Thanks

Hi again,

Just to let you Guys who are wondering what the replay box is, I have included a few quick specs below, as searching Google, gives you hardly anything solid.

Features:

22 Hours Recording with 40GB HDD (hard drive) in 4 Mbps Stream (MAX 200GB hard drive can be fitted, standard IDE connection)

Record Current Program while playing back earlier program simultaneously

Record Schedule function via EPG

Full EPG now and next program , daily channel program listing and detail information

Auto Timer Record function daily ,weekly or monthly

3 steps ( x4 , x8 , x16 ) Fast forward or Rewind Functions

Pause and step playback function

HDD management ( Play,Move,Lock,Rename,Delete,Format)

Various playback function ( Jump,Repeat,Shuffle,Slow Playback )

PIG ( Picture in Graphic ) Support

Friendly and Easy to Use Menu System

Various Channel Edit Functions ( favourite ,move,lock,re-name,delete and sort )

Automatic search for newly added transponders ( Network Auto Search )

256 On screen display

Pal/NTSC auto selection

Last Channel Auto Save

Full MPEG2,DVB compliant

Digital Audio with AC-3 support by SPDIF

Software Upgrade via RS232

Plug and Play Data Transfer system (STB 2 STB)

Selectable Output - CVBS,RGB

2 Scart , 1 S-VHS Video Connections

...and much more

I know this sounds like competiton for the others,:devious: but with limited or no support at the moment

, do u think its still worth it?

As previously scour the net and post replies on your own experince or just good sites related to the REPLAY BOX.

Thanks for reply. Well at the end opted for The vox, I know there is no pvr facility, but I thought what said: can be risky if not support!
I am very happy with The eurovox max, it was easy to set up a piece of cake! I have a dvd/hdd recorder anyway, so I connected the vox to it and I have had no trouble so far... :banana:

Does your DVD recorded work well with it - is it a hard drive type?

storn · 04-09-06, 08:27 AM

Well is one with hard drive, toshiba rdxs24. Before i had the rdxs30 and have had no problems with these type of machines (had one for over 3 years!). Yes I can tape whatever I want on hdd and if want to keep I put it on dvd. Is wonderful!!No problems at all

I have a replay box and i am very impressed, only thing i am a bit dissapointed at is the EPG only showing now and next

Apart from that im really happy

Very hit and miss for some people but from my experiences they are excellent
Shame there is only 1 tuner

I didn't think that there was an awful lot of support/ software around for the replay - I did ask some sellers about updates on them, but none ever answered - they say sites are available with updates - but where.

I would of gone for one my self otherwise - that's the thing I love about sky+
great for taping, I am thinking of lin king the eurovox to a PC and taping on there and see how I get on.
