WRONG THEY CHRGE £8.00 POSTAGE

Are these Cyberhome AD-L528`s better than the Tosh SD210E`s, or is it just that they`re cheaper ? I`ve heard that the drive is a bit noisy, is it true?

They`re just not built to last. Our best lasted ooooh, about 4 seconds from de-boxing to drive bit dropping off. Now you see, there`s a story behind this....

My dad just got a £100 rebate from the Inland Revenue so he thought he might as well get a DVD player. A quick scan through WHSmith`s Christmas catalogue told us the above mentioned was indeed a neat and tidy £99.99, so I went on-line to buy one. First one came, and as soon as it was out of the box the front of the drive tray dropped off, and further inspection showed a bloody great big dent in the back. Smashing. Got a replacement, lo-and-behold same thing happens; bye bye tray front, there`s a dent in the bottom and the drawer won`t open at all. The dents are down to poor packaging - the way the player`s packed the prongs on the plug are facing in toward the back, so any pressure on it and it caves in. The other things are just down to CyberHome being s***e. Pfff. Dad and I agreed sod it and went to Curry`s and bought an LG which is rather spanky. So know you know.

Right, everyone have a happy Christmas. Pim pim.

Ive had my Cyberhome for over a year now with no problems, and im sure there are probably many others who are satisfied with the player. Its a good neat player with all features you want except that the 528 cannot disable macrovision. You should be blaming Smith`s more than the player. I am sure there are lots of other Cyberhome users out there who agree with me. If they have been providing you with damaged goods from delivery then you should be blaming them. Or you may have had a one off experience, but i feel the jibe at Cyberhame was unwarranted !!! Stevie B

Aye, perhaps. Obviously I was a bit miffed at WHSmith, and I`m pretty sure I`ll never get owt from their site again, but you`ve got to look at the fact that not one but two player`s dropped in bits as soon as they were out of the box, so the jibe at CyberHome was perfectly justified. I`m glad yours is fine and dandy, but there`s more chance of platting p*** than me recommending them to anyone I`m afraid. Having said that, dad`s LG could blow up tomorrow.

Anyway, take care.
