Bush PDVD0712

Advantages: Great price, clear screen, good sound
Disadvantages: A brand with not a great reputation or public knowledge

...(24/10/06 - an update to this review has been attached to the end of the original, below.) I like Bush. Really, I do. No, not what your dirty little mind is telling you and not that weird guy who's apparently in charge of the planet, but Bush - you know, the electronics people.

I reported this problem to them and they told me to get in touch with Bush.

I told them that they told me to deal with Bush but they did not want to know and said i had been misinformed and couldn't do anything about it . I am now waiting for yet another from Bush but i am not very enthusiastic about it .... Read review
