Daewoo TV and video combo

Advantages: Easy to use,lots of good features, also has a child-lock.
Disadvantages: none, as yet.

...I got this TV and video combo about three months ago and it has been brilliant. It has a good picture and is definately cheaper than buying a video and tv seperately if you are just after a good practical little TV and video. I bought it for £180 on offer, so it was an excellent purchase. Features: *It has a one year guarrantee so in the event of failure all repair work will be carried by your retailer. *One thing which I find very useful with this TV is that it has a childlock so they can't record over your favourite TV programmme which you specially recorded and will never be on again, and they can't muck up any settings you took your time to programmme in. *It also has a timer which you can set if you want to record at the same time every week which is very useful if you are penchant to forgetting to watch a program...

Review of Daewoo 14H1N tv/vcr combi

Test drive the Daewoo Tacuma

Advantages: CD Multichanger, acres of space
Disadvantages: High tax band, mpg

...--Background-- We bought this car as a second car, two years ago. Previously, my wife had had the Daewoo Nexia for over 3 years with very little problems. We knew that Daewoo offered us no thrills but we also liked the smooth ride it gave. In the end we settled on a 51 reg CDX which set up back £4000. --From the outside-- For those of you that are not aware, the Tacuma is classed as an MPV. I would say the shape is now slightly dated and I would liken the shape to the Renault Scenic. This model comes with the roof bars as standard and alloy wheels. --From the drivers seat-- Road visibility is very good as you are higher up than a normal car. Saying that, I can not see the end of the bonnet from the drivers position. I am 5ft 10 so maybe someone significantly taller would not have a problem. The dashboard certainly...

See that TV - That'll be the DAEWOO

Advantages: Very compact versatile unit
Disadvantages: Charcoal is no colourway choice for the bedroom

...You know the way that old TV’s get “cascaded” to the bedroom, when replaced by something larger and/or wider in the lounge? If you’re familiar with this phenomenon, then you will be also familiar with the fact that a relegated TV “don’t ‘alf look big” in the bedroom. After accepting this situation for a couple of years, we decided to do something about it, and regain some dressing table, the timing of which coincided with Dixon’s sale! There in the window was a very neat little Daewoo combination TV/VCR for £200, which when you consider that you are getting a basic mono VCR and a Teletext remote controlled 14” TV all rolled into one, is very reasonable. OK, so it’s still got a slightly curved “TV Shaped” screen, there’s been no attempt to...

Daewoo Freeview Box

Advantages: Great value for money
Disadvantages: Lost signal now and again

...As someone who lives a busy life i feel that paying a monthly fee for Sky, NTL etc is not worth my while as i watch very little TV. As a result i decided a one of payment for Freeview to be my best option. I bought my Daewoo freeview box in Tesco's for £49.95 about a year and a half ago now and have been very happy with my purchase. The box was incredibly easy to set up, via connection through a scart cable. Within ten minutes of opening the packaging my freeview box was up and running after following the on-screen instructions. The selection of channels on the freeview service is enough for my needs. Amongst others you get BBC3 & 4, ITV2 & 3, three 24 hour news channels, 2 childrens channels, 2 music channels, several shopping channels and almost every radio station possible. There are also new channels being added...

Review of Daewoo DS608P Setpal

The leaking daewoo matiz

Advantages: Spacious
Disadvantages: It leaked rusty water, lost all power and had clunky gears

...From personal experience with the Daewoo Matiz (w Reg) i would not recommend this car. I was insured on this car but it belonged to my brother, and it had faults since we bought it. Maybe it was due to the fact that the car was not new, but even after we carried out repairs on it, the problems remained the same. Our first problem with the car was the clunky gears, they were hard to move and often got stuck and made weird noises! It was annoying to say the least, but it was a problem my brother could just cope with considering it was low priced However, on the way to work one morning, on a 70mph dual carriageway, my brother was driving at 20mph and i told him to put his foot down, but he did, the car just had lost all of its power for no apparent reason. After calling the RAC, we were advised to take it to a garage for a look over...

Review of Daewoo Matiz

Switz Swoooo with my Daewoo....

Advantages: Makes parking easy, FANTASTIC petrol consumption, Cheap on tax AND insurance, Great height inside, Large windscreen
Disadvantages: Noisy-ISH engine....erm thats it really!

...Daewoo Matiz (1998 - 2005) Well its been a while but here we go, its time for yet again another review straight from the horses mouth (Note : Im not a horse lol) Well anyway, me being a first time driver, I wanted something that wouldnt have me out the door with payments for tax and insurance, didnt guzzle petrol like no tomorrow, and was CHEAP.....not to mention a steering wheel and set of four tyres to come in handy I guess... I first start looking at the nissan micra (no NOT that one, the ones from 00-03 that come equipped with power steering and airbags) but even at THAT I couldnt afford it.....not to mention the fact it reminded me of a BEETLE or some other insect of some sort. Then I seen it.... 2002 Sunburnt orange Small Cute and Perky Smiling (swear it does!) AND BEST OF ALL..... Didnt look as if it...

Review of Daewoo Matiz

A Daewoo for Me.

Advantages: reasonable price, only insurance and road tax to pay after the first year.
Disadvantages: Insurance and road tax only included for first year

...When my 10 year old Nissan Sunny was needing to be replaced (MOT, insurance and automobile rescue almost expired, service and repairs required) I looked around for a second – hand car, I also had a look in a Daewoo garage and saw the 3 door Lanos 1.4S for £7999, which I believed was out of my price range, however on discussion with a showroom assistant (“they don’t have salesmen”), I was offered the Lanos at a price I thought I could afford, with a special offer of 1 years free insurance and cut price purchase scheme. Delivery was scheduled on the day after the MOT expired on the Sunny, but if they could not bring this forward by a day, then they would provide a courtesy car for this period. I had just bought six months road tax for the Sunny, and was told that as the car would not have a MOT, then I would be...

Review of Daewoo Lanos 1.4

It has to be Daewoo for Freeview

Advantages: excellent reception, simple set-up, reliability
Disadvantages: not gorgeous to look at

...you can place it on top of your DVD or VCR without covering up the air-holes or putting pressure on the casing. The accompanying remote control is black, with a very neat size and look, and all buttons are easy to use and read. PRICE The set top boxes I looked at ranged in price from £79.99 to £99.99, and the Daewoo is one of the £99.99 ones. I believe there are even cheaper ones around, but after my experience with the Mitsubishi I'd advise paying full whack rather than saving ten or twenty quid, especially when you consider that this is a one-off payment and your viewing is totally free. SETTING UP The Setpal comes with a scart and a traditional cable, and you can use either to connect. As my TV only has the one scart and it's connected to my DVD, I used the traditional cable to connect the Setpal to my television...

The Queen on .tv!

Advantages: layout, design, information, photos
Disadvantages: /

...I would say there are six websites that I could not live without. I would not say that it is a mixed bag of sites - it is either money making related or media related. One of these media related websites is the official website of my greatest inspiration in life. She is such a wonderful person, and a perfect role model. Who is this woman? Of course, it's Andrea McLean! If you for some reason do not know who Andrea McLean is, then I am a tiny bit offended! She was a long running weather girl for GMTV, only to give up that post a few months back. She is now the main anchor of ITV daytime chat show phenomenon Loose Women, a job I would kill for. She is one of the most amazing TV Presenters around, and has such a wonderful personality. The day I met her was one of the most amazing days of my life, a moment I will treasure forever. She...

Woo. A Daewoo.

Advantages: Great for its price
Disadvantages: Not Nicam

...I had a Daewoo video recorder for Christmas and was not expecting brilliant things form it. How wrong I was! It is brilliant. DVD is great to have to watch films on but what about Recording? You still need this facility. That is where my Daewoo steps in. Its got 6 reading heads so the picture quality is excellent for such a budget Video. It is not Nicam but it is Hi Fi Compatible. Useful for hooking up to the stereo and annoying the neighbours! It has the facility to be both Loing Play and Short play so you can squeeze twice as much on your tapes than you used to. Quality hardly suffers on long play either. The best thing in my mind is the ability to play both PAL and NTSC videos on one machine. I was sent a American Format Hockey video last year and when I watched it on my old video it was black and white and sound quality suffered...
