7. Conclusion

On the whole my experience with purchasing, setting up and using the Tevion TSD-DR40HD as part of our home entertainment environment has been a positive one so far. This unit had to be replaced 3 weeks into the warranty period because of a faulty disk drive, but hopefully we now have a facility and a setup that will last us for a couple of years until the global and Australian introduction of digital TV forces us once again to invest more monies in new equipment. My only concern, based partly upon negative comments on the Internet, is that the unit may develop hardware faults, but at least there is a service agent in Melbourne (Pebble Electronics).

One problem was that the documentation supplied with the device was woefully inadequate, hence this document, which is available as a PDF file at the following webpage:

Please send me email if you wish to comment on the contents of the document.

My wife is still of the opinion that we should retain the good old VCR, and indeed there have been occasions when we have wanted to see three TV programs all being telecast at the same time. The solution then has been to record one on the VCR, another on the DVR and view the third one live on TV. Also, she is not impressed with the many remote controls we now have lying around. However, an alternative is to make all of these redundant by means of a programmable Remote Control such as the Logitech Harmony 880 Remote Control.
