Hi, Managed to open up two Digifusion FVRT100 Twin-Tuner PVRs bought via mail-order and, first impressions were not good. Not only were the units cosmetically damaged quite badly but the Maxtor 40Gb UATA133 Hard Disk Drive was rattling around in one of them because the hard disk caddy had not been fixed properly to the base of the PVR. In fact one cross-head screw was fitted to one of the three fixing holes where clearly since opening up another unit there should have been three T-10 screws. It's not surprising that, from what one of the forums are saying, such a large volume of these are being returned for refund to one of the retailers who are selling them.
Even though these are refurbished units and are not sold as 'grade-a' one's surely the manufacturers or repair company should be checking these prior to shipping them to distributors?. All of these RMA'd units cannot be giving customers a lot of confidence in the retailer selling them. This is a shame because, other than this, upon addressing the hard disk tray fixture problem the PVRs themselves seem to be quite well specified units for the money.
Anyway what's needed now is for the PVRs to soak-test to check whether they're working alright. Hopefully there are no more units requiring returning for replacement/refund. This is getting quite a frustrating experience and an expensive one as well.
Good luck.
