Take.TV
So, I ordered a Take.Tv device from Sandisk last week. It finally came in yesterday and I’m not a happy customer … yet.
All of the reviews that I’ve read about the device where positive and the features that it has are exactly what I need. Basically, it lets you copy Divx, MP4, and other types of movies onto it’s flash drive and play them on your TV.
When I unpacked the device and plugged it into my XP laptop, nothing happened. It didn’t try to install a driver or even acknowledge that I inserted the device at all. I plugged it into my MacBook Pro and received the same results. I put the device into yet another XP computer and it still did absolutely nothing.
It’s supposed to install the mass storage driver like any other flash drive and offer a drive letter to drag your movies onto. No dice on three different computers.
The only way that I could find to get support was via email. I sent them an email yesterday asking for an RMA and still have not heard from them. I will call 1(866) SAN.DISK tomorrow and report the results here.
