Hydef GR3200T Reviews & Tests

Hydef GR3200T

Thinking of upgrading to digital? Hydef's set top box allows you to send high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) pictures to your TV.

Reasonably cheap ; Fast channel changing and responsive menu ; Variety of HD outputs (plus SD output available)

Runs at a high temperature when switched on for long time ; No built-in recording features

All up we find this simple set top box to be a good contender to other (more expensive) HD set top boxes on the market.

"REASSESMENT...excel. pic quality full stop! easy menu! great sound!..BUY with confidence!"

Remains a great little unit for the budget buyer with an eye on quality. Very pleasing 5.1 sound quality from any half decent Amp./Speakers! .. WORTH AN 8.50 out of ten RATING, SO TO MAKE UP FOR MY FIRST REVIEW I've given it a NINE!.. Ha, Ha.

All my previous comments + gives V.good results on CRT sets also

Forget my comments prev. comments on Auto tunning / Output switches..these really are a breeze... the problem was with the Panasonic VCR/DVD combo I had it cabled up to!... the Pana's antena output jack was faulty

"Excellent pic quality on Plasma screens, easy to use menu"

Overall...a great little unit for the budget buyer with an eye on quality.

Suits large screen Plasmas' to a tee with its excellent video representation and, when teamed up with any half decent amp./ speaker system, should more than suit the budget concious home theatre enthusiast

The auto. tuning can be annoying under certain restricted reception conditions....and those switches determining output had me confused during setup. The unit does heat up if left on for several hours so adequate ventilation is certainly recommended
