:/ Hi All was thinking of buying a dvd recorder seen one at aldi tevion tdr5101 was wondering if any one has one? would you advise to buy one? can it be made region free easily? the spec on the leathlet looked good but new to this so unsure.
thanks in advance for any help

Hello mate,
The other day I saw the ad in the Sun newspaper for the technosonic pvr, being at work I rang the missus and told her to nip to aldi and buy one, she bought the dvd recorder (tdr5101) by mistake, at first I was going to take it straight back, after a day or 2 thought why not?
So today I wired it up, took out my old vcr and old sony dvd and put the tevion in, first off: the damn thing sounded like a vcr when it fired up with a disc, not so bad when playing but when on title screens and pause you could hear the servo motoring away, its not an exaggeration to say my vcr is quieter, secondly it didnt have a patch on my sony picture wise, it distinctly lacked colour and had a slight jumpy picture, not crisp and sharp at all.
The air vents are located rather stupidly on top of it, so its conceivable you might have probs from this in the future.
As for the menu it looked ok and the remote seemed not too bad, but I think all in all its a peice of cheap tacky crap that I would advise you to stay away from pal. Mine is going straight back to Aldi tomorrow.

Cheers,
Nis.

i also bought a tevion tdr 5101 it also sounded like an old betamax video on start up also it lost the time on the display after phoning up the said (helpline) i was told that this was common and to keep it on standby not to turn it off at the button mine is also heading straight back to aldi.

:D
Could anyone tell me if there is a hack for this machine.

we have a tevion tdr5101. unfortunately we no longer have the remote and no-one seems to recognise the model nunber tdr5101 for us to get a replacement. does anyone still have a remote that they could give us a model number from?

The model number you need is unbelievably not even printed on the remote itself. Your best bet is to call Tevion customer services on 0844 8000243.
Good luck,
Jimma.
