Has anybody else been as unlucky as me and had experience of them?
I had the misfortune to buy one last month (40") for my bedroom. It is the most hateful, despicable, heap of crap I have ever set eyes on. I have an existing aerial in the roof which feeds the tv downstairs without fault. So, I bought a 2 way splitter/amplifier and ran a feed to the bedroom. Connected up said television......cough splutter fart cough splutter fart etc etc, and it informs me it has a poor signal (downstairs still working without fault).
After spending all afternoon chasing up and down from the loft and getting nowhere, I plugged in a little 14" that was up there that I had forgotten about....PERFECT. It shows good signal and a faultless picture, so nothing wrong with the aerial set up at all, and now I`m in a foul mood
So not only does that heap of junk have a signal problem, it rarely ever does anything "smart" without ballsing it up and me having to keep switching of the mains repeatedly to get it to work. There are no adjustments to the sound, picture etc, just very basic and pointless functions, and the remote usually involves about 10 presses of each button before the stupid thing responds (yet it responds to OFF first time, every time, funny that......).
I really have just had to stop myself from putting my fist through it..........
Anybody know if I stand any ground by taking it back to the shop? As I no longer have the box?
It`s a shame but I can`t find reviews on it, because believe me mine would be a stinker. I thought Sharp were supposed to be a decent company. How wrong was I??..........
