Cyber Home CH-DVR 1600 - DVD recorder with TV tuner
I purchased Cyber Home CH-DVR 1600 - DVD recorder with TV tuner from Amazon, unfortunately that is not working properly, after that I talked to customer service and I got good customer service response, representative told me you can change or return anytime. So I return that product and waiting for received confirmation.
Last couple of years I purchased some product from Amazon and I am very happy with Amazon. When I think to buy anything online always I checked Amazon 1st.
Good Service, keep it up.
Cheap for a reason.
I have had a Cyberhome for 3 years and it still works. Judging by the general tone on the review forum, I guess I have been lucky. Nonetheless, this is not a machine that I would recommend to friends. The tuner produces tolerable by slightly shaky images. The menu is cumbersome. The material feels cheap. Given how inexpensive name-brand products have become, the few dollars in saving simply do not justify choosing Cyber Home CH-DVR 1600 - DVD recorder with TV tuner any more.
Right for the price
Don't expect a Corvette when you're paying a Kia price. I bought one of these dvd recorders five years ago and it worked just fine for all those years. Now that it died, I went right out and looked for the exact same brand. For 68 bucks, if I can get another five years out of this one, I'm a happy camper.
Wouldn't buy it again.
I'm surprised that this model is still being sold. The company no longer does business in the USA. I have this model and the DVD section is extremely unreliable.
The pros - the picture quality is not bad. The analog tuner is pretty good, too and it changes channels quite fast. I use it mainly for its tuner; works great that way. Video and stereo out to a monitor with no tuner. And it has a volume control. It plays PAL DVDs and there is a hack to make it Region 0.
The cons - it always defaults to DVD play mode (annoying since I use it for a tuner). Often, it hangs when going to a new chapter. With selected DVDs, it will repeatedly hang on a particular scene. Like many minor brands, the remote has small buttons and is difficult to ... Read More
Problematical at best
I had a myriad of problems with this unit, including things as basic as setting the clock(easy? try and find it without the manual). It would not accept DVD Rw disks if they had ever been "touched" by another recorder(even if blank). It would not always replay the very recorded disks that it itself had made. It would occasionally miss a recording date and have the next day scheduled, as if today(for some odd reason) just didn't warrant a recording. Most of all, it had a strange logic to its controls and internal commands, neither logical nor similar to the rest of the industry, which has pretty much standardized procedures.
