well since i am supposedly sat down doing nothing i decided that i would transfer all our vhs tapes into dvd formats so we can still watch them. well so far in 7 weeks not a single one has been done and we estimate 14 hours of time has been spent doing it!!!!
we started in the five pound range with this puppy

at the time we brought it there was more higher recomendations than low ones, that has now completly changed as what a heap of junk it was.
so when it arrived the first time the dvd driver disk was snapped in two, so we asked for another one, another week later we get a new disk and its blank so we phone up agaian and then get told we can down load the driver instead , so we did the down side is when you try to start the programe it wants the dish in the drive A, so we burnt a copy onto a disk so we can put the damm thing in drive A and still it not works, so a right conversation or such like later and the easy cap is in the bin and the refund is not happening, so amazon are now dealing with them and we dont expect any money back knowing how bad amazon is for customer relations
so the next puppy is orderd this time from a friends recomendation of product and supplier.

well we paid the £20 and three days later, its arrived, now this one is so simple evan a computer techno genius like hedgerow can use it, plug one lead between the video player and the black box , insert a sd card , press play on one and record on the other and away we go, simplees
wrong
parcel came box unwrapped, i think the first downer on the day was the way it rattled, as in rattled like a bag of bolts in a bisuit tin rattle, the dead sounding rattle, thought we could be lucky, ha ha ha ha ah so I plugged it in.
very nice indoor fire works and then nothing so we are now back to square one, except this time a simple phone call and we get an instant refund straight away so good for them and another complaint for othe posties
so people where next, what do you reconmend and what sort of price will it cost me and from which internet shop to buy it from, i was thinking the £40 jobby from maplin this time or is there better and prefferable cheaper from else where
