What Others Say
it is awesome!!
I ordered this for my daughter and ended up returning it because it was a little too complicated for my 11 year old. i did try it out before sending it back. i recorded from my dish dvr right to the device and it was perfect. i would recommend Mustek PVRA1 Personal Media Center to anyone who needs to take tv with them, like on lunch breaks, trips, etc. how much it holds depends on the size of the memory card you put in it. i read though the reviews and go alot of info from people who are already using it. so read the rest of the reviews, they are very helpful. thats how i learned how to hook it up to my dish dvr.
Design Flaw
Like mentioned in another review, this doesn't work with a Mac...but I have work-arounds so I can deal with it. There are two REAL issues about the PVR-A1 to me: physical design flaws and output. Everything on the PVR-A1 is so nicely made and then there is the select/scroll/volume knob. After lugging this device around the switch got hit a couple of times and *BAM* it either doesn't work at all or it is always switched on and moving the selector at random...not to mention not being able to control volume. This is the weakest hardware link of the whole thing. Second, there isn't any video output, so if you do record anything you can't play it out...unless you use their hokey software converter, but then you still can't hook this up to a TV and ...

Stopped working
I purchased this for my son, he loved it. We didn't use it often, just when we traveled. We had it 1 year and 1 month when it died. The screen wouldn't come on anymore,however the buttons lit up,but then it would not power off, we had to remove the battery. If I had known this item would not have a long life, I would have spent a little more and got a better device.
Mustek PVR-A1 - Obsolete and Unreliable (Replacement Battery)
I purchased the first PVR-A1 a couple years ago and the feature/price ratio is pretty good.
I purchased one for our on hold music at work. This was one of the few MP3 players that I could find that would accept an external power supply and had an SD Card Slot. I've used up to a 2 G SD Card in the unit without problems. I was disappointed that there was no function to shuffle (randomly play) the MP3s and to continuously loop through the songs. I purchased one for myself and for my Mom (a total of three by now) who lives quite a distance away. This was for digital picture viewer.
The one I purchased for Mom quit working. I'm not sure exactly when because she's not very technically literate. She was telling me ... Read More
bought it 5 years ago.......
yeah, i bought this a while ago.... im just online right now bored, so im writting reviews on stuff because i never do that for the things i buy... well, first off i dont use it anymore.... cuz i have a zune! its coool!
but, anyways from what i remember, it was before the ipod video came it, and all my friends were so impressed with the mustek player! t was light some type of james bond thing... it play videos, pics, music.... everything.. and they were all good quality! mine did break once, but i sent it in with my warrenty thing, and in a month they sent me a new one.
recording movies and tv and playing them right away was sooo easy and fun, it didnt cost money to buy them online.
bad things i remembered.... the scoller ... Read More
