Go Video VR2940 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
Go Video has gone to the dogs
I bought my unit from Amazon in January 2005 and it started working quite well.  I did disable the auto clock setting to stop the freezing up that required unplugging (and the requisite clearing of all my programming).  The unit became more and more sensitive - would record on some DVD's and not others.  Would randomly lock up during playback. <br /> <br />The customer service people lied to me endlessly about certain brands of DVD media being bad.  The customer service people who provide email support apparently don't speak much english because they can't understand anything you write to them and their responses are quite unintelligible. <br /> <br />After upgrading the systems internal firmware and many efforts at using this piece of junk, it finally wouldn't even play pre-recorded DVD's.  It just clicked noisily every time I put in a DVD.  It was about 10 months old and I finally got on the line with the customer service people and begged and pleaded for them to send me a new drive. They decided to eventually not charge me the in-warranty replacement cost of $90 and sent me a new unit.  They sent a different model which I have had for a few days and it works fine so far.  I can't recommend that anyone buy a GoVideo unit for any reason.  Even if someone gives it to you as a gift, send it back to the company.  I was ready to have a great experience as I have in the past with GoVideo dual deck VCRs but they have gone to the dogs for certain. <br /> <br />Selwyn <br />Austin, TX
