Review: Superb Value for money - I bought this product to replace an old Freeview recorder box which had broken down. Since I never recorded anything on that box anyway ( it was situated in my home office ) I opted to get a normal Freeview box instead of spending £100 - £200 on a recorder box. If all you want is a box that will give you Freeview channels then I would highly recommend this. It is small ( 140mm x 90mm ) but don't let that put you off. It does everything you would want and actually looks very nice and classy. It was extremely easy to set up and comes with an hdmi lead in the box. If your tv doesn't have and hdmi socket then you can connect up by scart lead as this box also has a scart socket too ( a scart lead is not provided so just use your old one ). Plug your aerial in ( I actually have an indoor one and it works fine ) and switch on and the onscreen instructions are very simple to follow and basically you press the ok button on the remote to confirm your country and area and ok to scan and it does the rest and finds all your available channels . That's it..all done ! An important thing to note is that if you want to be able to pause/rewind live tv you must insert a usb stick into the usb port at the front of the box. I bought a sandisk 8gb usb 3.0 stick off desertcart for £5.49 and it works perfectly ( pause/rewind live tv will NOT work without this ) . One other thing...if you do have a usb stick inserted this box WILL record stuff onto it that you can watch at a later time either on the tv or some other medium like your pc. You have to go into the media settings in the box menu and it gives you the option of how many gb you want as capacity up to 4gb. I am not interested in recording on the box so I haven't tried it but even though I have an 8gb stick plugged in the box capacity is a max of 4gb so that may be of interest to some people. For pause/rewind Live TV all you have to do is plug the stick in and it recognizes that you have one in and you can use this function. Picture quality is very good too and the remote easy to use. Also when you put it in standby it shows you the time and when you switch it on it is more or less instant when you get your picture. All in all very highly recommended !
Review: It should have been a good little box - but the judder/freezing of pictures and random EPG and eratic playback on recordings=NOT - Given that I had a USB DVB-T/T2 tuner stick made by August and very pleased with it, I was extremely disappointed with this DVB415! My aerial signal has no trouble with any TV in the house, and you can see the main transmitter at the end of my road. The signal was around 90% with 95% quality. This unit just kept breaking up on the HD channels. It wasn't the usual type of break up like when you receive a poor signal, it was more juddery with green flashes and freezed the picture. On recordings, whilst the unit recorded, on playback it played a few seconds and then just 'paused' the playback. The EPG would randomly display a few days ahead, but list odd hours from each. It would then clear itself and provide NOW/NEXT only on SD channels but HD channels had the whole day's worth of listings. The unit did not like a USB3 256GB stick, and could not format a USB2 64GB stick, so I had to format that to NTFS in a computer first and then the box could format it. (Not cheap slow USB sticks) The unit supplied WAS new and didn't look in any way a customer return. I could have a faulty unit, but seeing as other people also experienced it on here indicates it is not. Feel let down as my other August Intl product is very good. I wasn't bothered about Freeview's Red Button services or Digital Text not being available; the later also meaning that the Radio Stations have a generic picture rather than programme details as these use MHEG digital text. Sent the box back as not good for anything. It's also not a Freeview box as such, as its not licensed by Freeview, its a generic digital TV box that can receive Freeview broadcasts. This is good in one way, because by not being licensed by Freeview means that the recordings are not encrypted and can be played back in Windows Media Player. With Freeview licensing, this would not be possible. It wasn't possible anyway, because of the issues I found on my box, massively annoying.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Just got this. when i go into epg and go up and down to the channel i want, how do i select it? i press ok and i get an info window.**
A: Can you select a series to record when its on

**Q: Can this device record subtitles and also display subtitles when playing back in PC? Thanks!**
A: Yes so long as recorded as ts (video format) and not ps (.mpg. format).

**Q: have there been any firmware upgrades since critical (amazon) review of 25/02/15 ?**
A: The firmware on my unit is v1.6.8 so I downloaded firmware v1.7 and put the file 'product_sabbat_dual.abs' on a usb stick as instructed but get 'update file not found'. (OTA upgrade doesn't work either.) What am I doing wrong?

**Q: Do the file names of recorded TV programmes show the programme name?**
A: I own the DVB400 (earlier model) which clearly stated in the manual that it would name SD recordings with programme name+date+time but HD recordings would only name with channel name+time+date due to software limitations. I can see nothing in the DVB415 manual to suggest it uses programme names in the recording titles for either SD or HD, it does give instructions on how to rename recordings.I found with the DVB400 it would usually name a timer recording made via the EPG with the previous programme's name+date+time, this is probably because it would start recording a minute before the wanted programme's start time - a little annoying but better than missing the start of the show

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quirky to use but *exceptionally* good value and excellent capabilities for what we need
*by F***M on 18 April 2015*

Arrived very quickly. Having read the reviews it was just what I expected. Wanted it especially to be able to record to USB and watch / edit on PC. Worked fine. 16gb USB stick with a 2 hour recording used 23% of the memory capacity suggesting 3 or 4 films on 16 gb. (bigger sticks are available). Plugged into my PC and played straight away in Nero showtime - my preferred video player. Also loaded into the Nero editing programme with no problem and burned the film to a DVD for keeping. Plus points: Incredible value. It does more than recorders costing £200 plus will do Negative points: The channel menu *is* quirky and takes a bit of getting used to, and the menus generally are not 'intuitive' (at least to my brain), but you can set your own 'favourites' list so that should sort the channel listing out. Adding the film name to the data recorded automatically (date time and channel) means you have to refer to a grid / table in the instruction book that uses the same system as a mobile phone to input the text using numbers on the handset is messy and fiddly. Thought there was going to be a problem when it wouldn't loop the aerial connection through when in standby when first connected, but that was fixed by changing a setting in the menus which rectified it easily. Overall: Very impressed with the picture quality (We still have Standard Definition). Am about to buy another box so we can record 2 channels at once if we need to, and watch a third on the DVD recorder. Glad we got it.
