Beyonwiz DP-Lite i Reconditioned

I'm looking at getting one of these to replace my DP-S1. The S1 has a few intermittent problems with the hdd. I did the PS caps about 3 years ago. So was thinking that for $139 + shipping it might do.

Have a wired network with DP-P2 and we only use the Wizs as PVR. The S1 was sometime used to watch dvds but a dvd player isn't too many $.

Any draw backs with the Lite i ?

Depends what's important to you. Compared to the DP-P2 the Lite i has:

No front panel display
No front USB
No A/V input
Two rear USB (rather than one)
8MB firmware flash rather than 16MB
Same remote codes as the DP-x1 models, i.e. different from the DP-P2 codes.

Thanks for the reply Peter. Looks looks it would do what I want but will wait.
The deal ended at midnight and I decided not to get the Lite at this time, maybe a T3 later.

Well the $129 deal came up again so this time they got me. Next is the 4 years ice subscription .

I know it's old technology but it does what we want.

It's recording TV broadcasts - that's old technology too.
Multi networked BWs are a good way of sharing recordings around the house, and at these prices, hard to resist. IceTV now allows up to 5 devices per account.

I just grabbed one as a spare for this reason in case any of my current BW die, now that the T3 is a no-go for me without iceTV.
