- 3***l (140)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller precisely described this item which, aside from minor wear that was highlighted, might be considered ‘as new’. It was reasonably priced, sufficient packaging was applied for safe delivery and postage cost was reasonable - and it arrived earlier than anticipated. This is a seller whom one would happily buy from again.

- a***s (497)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseUnfortunately the content of the parcel was lost, postman delivered only the envelope shredded to pieces. But I can't blame the seller, it's clearly RM fault.

- c***6 (48)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseThe items arrived quickly and were very well packaged. They were exactly as described. The seller also took the time to combine two orders I'd made and issue a small refund for the postage difference. They provided outstanding service in every way and I would highly recommend them!

Cheap, cheerful, but no Red Button facilities.
4 of 4 found this helpful There are slightly different models of this unit being sold on Ebay. Some have Wi-fi; some have (wired) Ethernet; some have different AV sockets at the back; some use a adapter, some have mains straight into the back. They all appear to be called the same thing, so beware.
This unit seems to have menu options for Wi-Fi built in, but they are mostly greyed out. The menu entry which supposedly brings up the list of networks to connect to just keeps saying, "Please try again." (The Mac address of the unit purports to be 00-22-33-44-FF, which supports the idea that the Wi-Fi isn't supposed to work in this version of the unit, but this should be made clearer.)
To confuse things further, the instruction leaflet keeps talking about wired Ethernet when this unit has no Ethernet socket!
The other biggie is that the unit doesn't do Red Button. It has support for "Teletext" but this seems to be the old style CEEFAX/ORACLE system (which is still used in Germany, for which country the unit seems primarily aimed). This means you also won't be able to switch between matches on e.g. Wimbledon as this requires Red Button. Subtitles work though, as does the EPG.
The instruction leaflet is very poor. It is written in pidgin English (the unit is Chinese) and is of the, "To change channels, press the Channels Change button," school of thought, and it's clear the manual writer doesn't really know how to operate the more obtuse features of the unit.
The Factory Reset needs a password. Mine didn't come with one, so I plumped for 0000 and it worked!
Aside from the above grumbles, the unit does what it says. The power-supply is European (i.e. two pin) but mine came with an adapter for a UK three-pin socket. It comes with a 3xRCA lead (composite + audio) but you will need your own HDMI cable if you want to use that. As usual, the "manual" rattles on about SCART when the unit doesn't have SCART - it is either SD composite down RCA old school, or HDMI.
