Purchased a Samsung SH855 DVD

Nov 14, 2008

-   In some ways it is a relief to know that I am not setting it wrong. I check and double check that timer is right and then get a few minutes of recording. Which doesn't play back well at all. Picture jams while sound keeps going or it just freezes. I have had it a week and recording has failed 4 out of 4 times. Taking it back tomorrow. Was just going to exchange but am having a rethink now.-   hanmick

-   I'm on my second Samsung SH855 and am going to return it tomorrow.

I took the first one back after 9 days because it wouldn't reliably Timer record - failed 4 out of 6 tries (missed the Wallabies Springboks Tri-nations game because of it).

The replacement, which I've had 4 days, has the same issue as Ace66's.

I timer recorded two games of Rubgy League on HDD. During recording the timer would just stop for minutes at a time, then tick over really quickly (I captured that behaviour on my Camera and am *really* tempted to put it on You Tube).

Playback is completely unwatchable ... it freezes, pixelates, and is *exactly* like a scratched DVD - except that this is HDD !!

I'm so crapped off with this brand I'm asking for my money back.-   Club Muncher
