Very Suprised

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2018

Verified Purchase

Just set this up, took me 5 mins, plug aerial in back and HDMI cable from TV to recorder ( if you dont have a HDMI port you can also connect via Scart lead) Plug into mains, select your channel on TV ie Av1 ot Hdmi 1 etc.. and TUNE!!!!!!!
You need to have this switch ON, FOR IT TO BE ABLE TO FIND CHANNELS. once searching commences, you can then see the channels on your TV screen. you will need to use the remote that came with BOX to change channels etc, and to RECORD, not your TV remote!!!!, Instruction manual, scart lead, remote control and Batteries all inc in the box, took me 5 mins to get out of box, and attach cables!!!! I WILL BUY A SCART LEAD AND CONNECT IT- I DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, just my TV only have 1 HDMI slot, so i will need to change cable to CD player if i want to watch a DVD, so if i attach a Scart lead i will be able to watch them all with no changing of cables I STRESS THIS IS MY PREFERENCE YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY AN EXTRA CABLE!!!!!! so far so good, just need to get used to putting the box and and using the remote that came with box!!! Picture, sound, etc all clear no issues!!!!! CONS: 1.THE ONLY ONE THING IS USB PORT AT THE FRONT OF BOX SO MEANS YOU NEED TO HAVE USB STICK STICKING OUT ALL THE TIME. not a major issue, but if you have kiddies you may want to remove it other wise little fingers may get hold of it!....2.Since using this i have found that you cant watch a different channel whilst recording... ie if i was watching ITV3 and wanted to record a film on Sony Movie Channel, i would have to watch Sony Movie Channel...3. the keys on the remote are quiet small as well. 4.This was not compatible on my 32inch Smart TV, i set it up in there to see if i could record one program and watch another on big TV but it kept saying No signal, tried several times, gave up in the end...

Freeview box is the size of your thumb.

Not what I expected at all. Have to plug a usb in to pause and play. When recording it switches to that channel so what is the point of recording if you have to watch the show anyway. When I do pause it and press play it skips to real time so again what’s the point. Disappointed . So difficult to work especially with the remote that’s the size of a tea light.

August device is great value and typically punches way above it's price point

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a small, intuitive box, easy to set and use with a very enjoyable picture. It's not trying to be flash, it just works in a logical way, once the stations are in. Set up was similar to my Samsung tv freeview time wise and picture quality is great, I think equal to my sky hd boxes. The epg is functional and so far both boxes have recorded and played back admirably. These replaced a 10+ year old Sony DVD hard disc recorder and a Technika fview box, the picture and ease of use is better than either.

Would highly recommend use of this unit to extend the working life ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2017

Verified Purchase

HT set top box arrived very quickly as promised.
Having opened the bar, and connected it to a 20 yearr old analogue 625 line Panasonic TV, I followed the instructions and connected the box to the TV via the scart connections. The start up procedures took about ten minutes - but the system worked perfectly and I now have access to a vast number of Freeview channels using an unamplified external aerial. All the remote features - including picture format and zoom - worked very well.
No cons. Would highly recommend use of this unit to extend the working life of any high quality 625 line analogue TV.

I think it is extremely good value for money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2015

Verified Purchase

This product has a lot of irritating things about it but I so far have found very little that doesn't work or can't be sorted out. For the price, I think it is extremely good value for money.

I will start on the outside of the box. It is tiny and incredibly lightweight. One thing that I wish the manufacturer had done was make the power supply longer or detachable. I ended up taking the plug off and wiring it up again to get it where I wanted. it is just around 1m long which is a bit tight in my opinion. On the front, it has got a USB port. August say it can have a hard drive up to 1TB. That is pretty good. But then the format it records TV in is mts. Those files seem to take of over double the room of MP4 MKV and similar. I just have a 64gb Lexar stick and that is enough for me.
On the back, it has HDMI, SCART, COAXIAL, RF in and the RF loop through. I have used all of them at times. Some people will probably think that scart isn't really relevant but I find it very useful. I use a scart to phono adaptor. I was looking for a cheap way of getting an analogue audio signal to my amplifier. That has done the job well. I use HDMI to go to my PC monitor.

Like others have said, it is very simple to install. I think that the only channels that don't work smoothly are the ones that my aerial didn't work with very well anyway.

I do have one of the problems that some people find very irritating. Every now and then, channels such as 4 +1HD and several others move up right up to the channel number 800 or so. Very strange. This doesn't happen often but all you need to do it retune the box and it fetches them back to where they should be.
I agree with others here, the user interface is poor. Even so, I waited until I got used to it and I'm still learning now about how many things that is actually capable of. It is nice that you can record anything on any channel. It seems unlimited to how many programs you can set to record. I once had 20 set to record and it did the job just fine. When you set programs to record, you have the option to set the time they start. This means that you will be able avoid cutting off the start or end of programs if they don't run on time. I tend to set them to start recording 5 minuted before and add 5 minutes after too just to make sure I won't miss anything. You can even set a program to record daily and weekly.

One thing people might not like is that if you are wanting to put what you have recorded onto your PC afterwards, it actually splits the video up into several files. They are called the channel number, then the date, then the time so it can get confusing. If you want your computer to play them, you will need to rename them and add on part 1 part 2 etc. On the media play on the DVB400 though at leased, it will play them fine as one whole program like it was originally!

A smart but slightly hidden feature is when you play back TV you have recorded. If you press the stop button on the remote, and select that video again sometime later or even another day, it pops up with a message saying start/resume. If you select resume, it will remember where you were last time in the video. However, the pop up message is very hard to see or even notice. If you press exit when you are in a video that you have recorded, it then won't remember where you last were. You need to think to press stop and look very carefully for the start resume text. This is one place where the UI is really poor.

Even the guide of the HD channels only has the times. Only the SD channels have information of what the programs are on the guide. Another thing that would maybe bother others is the style of the guide. Each channel you view, you can only see one at once and you as you view each channel, you can't stay on the one you were on. So if you were watching the news on BBC 1 and you wanted to see what was on BBC 2, you won't even here BBC 1 any more. As I said earlier, there is no information other than the times for the HD channels. If say I wanted to know what was on Channel 4 next, and I was on Channel 4 HD I would have to press 4 and then EPG then go back to 104. The RECALL button is also the previous channel so that would get you back too.

Timeshift works well. How it works is it pauses the TV and records what is currently playing. The time shift space is 1gb when you first get the DVB400 but you can put it up to 4gb.

Something that most TVs don't seem to have is a button that switches it over from TV to radio. You can press the tv/radio button. This will then take you to the list of radio channels. If you mainly listen to 1 channel then you can press the that button again and it will take you back to the TV channels. It only takes one press of that button and it will take you back the the exact same radio channel you left it on. On a Samsung TV in my home you need to dial in the radio channel number each time you want it which to me isn't as simple as this.

The remote is quite poor too. It is very small and takes a while to get used to. Some of the buttons don't do what you would expect and are labelled in an unusual way. Such as the goto button. This to me makes it sound like it will bring up a menu of different places you can go or something like that but no. It is only for when you play stuff on media play. You play a video, press GOTO and 00:00:00 pops up. you dial in the time of the video you want to get to. It is pretty hard to skip to it the other way as there is just a fast forward. Although this feature is a little tricky to get used to, it is very useful at times.

Although it has many niggles, I really can't complain for the price. Now at only £24. That is really good value. I got it at around £26 - £29 and I still think that is great value. The value for money is the main reason why I have given it 5 stars.

Update - 26/04/16

I have recently worked out the reason why this Freeview HD box didn't record a program all as one file. It was because my record device was formatted to FAT32 and it only had a limited amount of space single a file could take up before having to create another.
Now I have a bigger portable hard drive connected to it that I formatted to NTFS. It now will record everything as one video file.

August DVB 400 set top box

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2018

Verified Purchase

Arrived earlier than expected, packaged well. Easy to set up with either scart or Hdmi, very good picture with both indoor and outdoor aerial.
Not had this unit very long so my negatives are so far is that the power cord could do with being longer and the remote a bit bigger the buttons are too close together being so small.
Although I’ve purchased a memory stick for recording programmes, I’ve not used it yet to record but have found it useful to pause live tv.
The seller sent me an email to warn me of issues I might experience , this was very helpful to fix the problem. So far in the short time I’ve had the box it’s working well.
