Akai AD181X High Definition Set Top Box with PVR Function
• Allows you to receive free-to-air digital broadcasts in both standard definition and high definition • Record directly to a USB storage device • Fully compliant with DVB-T and H.264, AVC, MPEG4,MPEG2 Standard • Supports EPG, Display Present/ Next TV Programme • Supports HDMI, Component and Composite output • SPDIF Coaxial Output • HDMI(up to 1080i) Output • PAL and NTSC Auto Switch • Auto / Manual scan • 1000 channels • Parent Control • This unit works for both Australia and New Zealand Digital Broadcasting Networks. This STB was a nightmare and I was close to returning for a refund but AKAI/AUDION came good with a couple of firmware updates that fixed all the main issues and added a couple of features. Read all about it on DTV Forum. The latest V1.3 FW update can be obtained from AUDION. The only issue I have now is that the program title of a timer record is stamped with the title of the previous show. I can live with this so overall a good outcome. I purchased the Imation Apollo Portable 500GB USB Hard Drive for the STB from JB Hi-Fi for $109 as advertised in their catalogue. When I went to buy they were $139 so I said to the nice lady serving me I want that for $109 as per the current catalogue, she was not sure and got someone else involved to discuss and while they were doing that I brought up their website on a Apple Mac (LOL) and they agreed $109 was OK so I had a win.

ATECH Deluxe Wireless Weather Station
Model WS-303-ED-RC
Got this last year for my birthday - thanks older kid. Worked well but this year part of the the main display blanks out, the time and external temp are OK but the rest including the barometer graph kind of fade out? Change batteries and OK for hour or so then fades out. Tried different batteries etc. This need further investigation. No problem with the external unit over wireless and good life from a CR2032. More to come... The ATECH website (http://www.atech.hk/) is p.a.i.n.f.u.l.l.y s.l.o.w - Adobe Flash. I wanted to download the manual but everything is "locked" and you get prompet for a client login WTF. Over a period of months I filled out numerous request forms and sent many e-mail's - not one response. |

ALDI Wireless Doorbell $12.99
Purchased this on Friday night, unpacked, installed batteries and had a play with it, not bad so put aside on the counter with a view to install next to front gates over the weekend. Some time during the early hours of the morning the thing went beserk making all sorts of noises that did not even remotely resemble any of the 16 melodies - OMG. Repack this "product of the week" back into the box and tape docket to the side for return and refund. Checkout my final soultion for the front gates. |
