Sony VTX-D800U This is the best forget the rest.    Post Date: Apr 16, 2006

Review:




If you are looking for a reliable set top box then look no further than the Sony VTX-D800U. Having tried four other boxes from different manufacturers the Sony is head and shoulders above the rest. I have had my Sony VTX-D800U for nine months now and never had any problems with freezing. Text, channel changes and EPG displays are lightning fast, compared to other boxes. It may be a bit more expensive than other boxes but it is worth every penny to have trouble free quality viewing. Buy it Now

Disapointing    Post Date: Mar 06, 2006

Review:




Having read good reviews and in the past found sony products to be good quality I decided to purchase this box. however I found it to be rather disappointing although text is far quicker than on my original Thomson DTI2300 box the Thomson had better picture quality plus features such as RGB output on video scart and signal on rf which the sony lacks

A Great Receiver    Post Date: Dec 09, 2005
Reviewer: Freaky from UK - See all reviews by Freaky

Review:
I have tried many STB`s & I think this is one of the best on the market. It copes very well with poor signals, giving you a perfect picture where others fail.



Channel change is quick and text services are also very quick (EPG access is instant), the box provides a full 8 day EPG.



Setup is also very quick, one of the fastest I`ve seen (under 90secs).



This box has 2 Scarts & both optical & co-axial digital audio out. There is a RF loop through but it has no modulator, so you need a scart socket on your TV to use this box. It has the option of horizontal or vertical mounting, which is handy.



The remote is average size, is well laid out & has a few special keys for controlling your TV.



So a well made machine of the quality you expect from Sony, well worth the slightly higher price it costs.
