said by Darth Vulgar : I just wanna let everyone know that the SA 4250 HDC is a piece of garbage. The box crashed on me, it got stuck and I couldn't change channels, had to re-boot. And now almost every time I shut the box off I have to re-boot.
I was at a friends house last night and it rebooted 2 times (Took 10 min to come back each time) Pain in the ass..... (Although all of thier IRDs seem to reboot alot)
1 thing i liked about it was IT SHOWED THE HD STUFF IN STANDARD DEF!! (Her TV isnt HD so i was surprised to see the HD stuff -- Only box i know that converts it to Standard -- But if the stupid thing reboots all the time its worthless.... Does not having enough ram cause this??)
It has an option to ZOOM,NORMAL,STRETCH but i tried that on an HD stream that had LETTEBOX and it didnt work.....
I dont like watching HD stuff IN HD because the size isnt right and it doesnt look good...... (Some of the pic is off the screen)
The changing of the channels is really nice and fast,i was surprised @ that also........ (Most of thier IRDs dont have enough RAM in them and are very slow) |
