My newly bought telefunken personal video recorder 500GB Hard Drive Twin HD Tuner suddenly stopped working. Yesterday, it worked fine, but when I checked it today I noticed that it didn't turn itself off after recording as usual. It seem to be on all the time and I couldn't turn it off, the remote control didn't respond to any selection, couldn't exit, menu didn't respond, in fact, nothing responded. I changed the batteries thinking maybe that was the problem, but it didn't make any difference at all. I simply couldn't turn the unit off, nothing seem to work no matter what button on the remote I selected. The only way to turn it off was to unplug the cable, but when I plugged the cable back again, it was still showing the unit as on, without doing anything. I have only used this item for about 7 weeks, and am very disappointed. I live on the Gold Coast, Australia.

I just called, if I mail it back, they will send a replacement. I also mentioned I have a VHS & DVD stuck in it, and was told to have it removed by a repair shop, and they would reimburse me up to $20.

SOURCE: I have a Daewoo Twin Tuner hard disc PVR with a firmware
I had one with the same firmware faults - in the end I had to return it as Daewoo had no plans to update the firmware. When I returned it it joined a huge pile of them in Currys.
