I`ve got one and it`s rather lovely. It`s been really reliable unlike the bag of s***e I had from Aldi before it...
You can record two things and watch another at the same time. Also chase play is ace - I start watching programs with loads of ads (Lost...) 10 minutes after they start then I can skip forward through the ads.

Even at full price the Fusion 200 is a total bargain but these refurbished units at £95 delivered represent probably the greatest bargain currently available in the dual tuner PVR world.But they are refurbs`.

So are most of the Fusion sold at Argos as new. I know I have one. Great boxes though & after you have one, you just don`t know how you survived without.

So marksparks999, you`ve had a few problems with Ebuyer I assume! ;)

I have used them for my last two computer builds as they are the cheapest.

If you know what to expect before you buy from them then you will be ok.

I have been lucky with most of the stuff I have bought from them but I have still have had to return items, which as you probably know that's where the fun begins. The dreaded Enote!!

So what problems have you had?

I`ve had a digifusion 145, took it back after two months the power supply karked it. It`s a known problem that they really should fix. Other main problems with their range :

1) Awfull EPG that takes a long long time to get used to (if you ever will)

2) Quite noisy - the fan and hard drive never power down unless you switch it off at the wall and thus don`t get the 02.00 hrs EPF update.

I started with the Aldi machine, went through 2 other manufacturers and have ended up with a Topfield. These are rather expensive in comparison but they are well worth the money.

Have to agree about Ebuyer.
Acer handheld PC died within 2 weeks, returned for replacement.
Replacement also died within a further two weeks so returned and they then refund me as they have no further stock. Returning stuff takes weeks and I`m still out 6.40 postage for the second return as I just gave up in disgust.
