Wintal PVR-X10

Small size Neat appearance Good picture Works well

Unable to enter timer menu whilst recording Only 12 timers Recorded programs can't be edited or renamed

Simple to use with on screen key pad for all the functions, this keypad can be hidden when not required. German designed software, Philips tuner and also its cheap.

Nothing, unless you are an importer trying to sell an opposition product against it.

Good receiver sensitivity - this is the 3rd set top box I have had and it is noticeably better. Good performer and good value for the money. Paid $330 (found out next day it is available for $299 and this is exceptional value)

Manual quite poor, and if this was your introduction to this technology you could struggle to get it up and running quickly. Remote weaker than others, and keys not all labelled making it frustrating.

As everyone says, the price is amazing for what you get. The unit is also quite small in size. Menu system is clear and friendly, after taking a little while (15 min) to get used to. I had mine up and running and using the Timer PVR within 10 minutes....

No component out, or native S-Video, which would have been handy. Remote could have had the PVR functions labelled, but I think those with reasonable memories will remember which button for which function. There is a little bit of drive noise when...

PRICE! As of 25/03/2005 I picked mine up for $312 inc postage from ebay (ozauctionbroker). A seeming bargain, however see my overall opinion to see the way the market is going. Well built unit that is compact and feels durable in it's metal casing....

Interface has not changed from the Wintel WIN1XS (Wintel now known as Wintal) as I have reviewed many months ago. And as such has the PVR(DVR) functions added on and not intergrated making for a messy and unfufilling experience. Flickery RCA output...

The price - Even at full RRP it's good value. Haven't found any faults. Looks great and is so small you don't need to rearrange the cabinet much. Ability to watch a prerecorded program while recording another. Time slip and time shift. Simple remote...

I didn't have one earlier. Built in DVD recorder would be nice, but then again it wouldn't be so damn cheap.

Small, tidy looking unit. Great concept. Good connectivity to TV but not to PC.

No timer function to record a program if you're not in. The auto programming of channels did not work properly.

Excellent picture on channels that were weak and poor quality, great recording features, relatively low price.

Very poor user instructions - took a while to work out how to use it successfully - and still learning. Cannot use it to watch one channel whilst recording a different channel (have to revert to normal tv). The "Delete" function (for recorded...
