Actually this is 2 devices to go wrong
This packages consists of 2 devices: the decoder box and the remote control. The remote has more buttons on it than the decoder box, so if you drop your remote on the floor and it stops working, your decoder box will be frozen in whatever state it is in. For example, if it is in radio mode, you can't switch it to TV mode, so it is effectively totally "broken".
It carries a 12-month warranty, so any time after that, a broken remote means buying a whole new $220 package.

Cheap and nasty
Very lightweight, cheap and nasty. The frame(?) was twisted so the bolts that allow for the reclining didn't line up with their holes. One week later I still haven't finished putting it together. The seat is very low to the ground, and the back isn't as high as I thought it would be.

BEWARE: No firewall!
Most routers are combined with a modem, and come with a firewall, but this one is not. That's OK, but you have to be aware that fact - it certainly isn't made clear in the advertising. You must either put your firewall up the network hierarchy, or down the hierarchy, or both. If you don't understand this, then you shouldn't be messing with networks, and this device isn't for you.
This router can easily get muddled over which devices are currently connected to it, especially after a power cut.
