Review NaN of
, from Jacksonville, FL
Price Paid:
$349.00
from Circuit City Summary:
Excellent picture quality; very easy to set up recording. Has the capability to remind you and automatically tune to preset shows. Can't tell playback from real broadcast. WebTV is okay but is pretty slow if you're used to using DSL.
I don't usually buy extended service plans, but I am REALLY glad I did on this one. See below... Strengths:
Ease of use, picture quality, ability to pause programming or "rewind" a scene to see it again. Weaknesses:
It seems a shame to have to pay DirecTV $10.00 a month for the ability to record programming you've already purchased.
Also, after one year the sound sent through the SATW60 to my Onkyo receiver completely stopped. I was using an optical cable. An Ultimate TV rep decided it was the SATW60, so I used the Circuit City advance exchange option (Thank God for this ESP). They shipped to me a refurbished receiver (Sony no longer makes Ultimate TV satellite receivers... hmmm... what does that tell you?) It took two days to get here. The one they shipped did not even power on; the on button was broken, as was the little door in front. It kept popping open. Shipped it back and Circuit City actually overnighted another refurbished receiver. This one has worked fine so far, but my fingers are crossed. The ESP indicates Circuit City will replace this receiver with a new one if three repair episodes are required, but waht will they replace it with?
