The media centre Dilbert’s company built: Stor.E TV+

Review: The Toshiba Stor.E TV+ is a one or two terabyte external drive cum media centre. It’s got a clumsy name, it’s clumsily built, and clumsily supported. So at least Toshiba is consistent there. It would make a great story device for a Dilbert special – the grubby fingerprints of corporate politics are all over it.

The base engineering work is absolutely fine. It’s solidly built, well specced, with some nice features. What is not fine is the user interface, the attention to detail, and the user interface. Did we mention the user interface and lack of attention to detail? Yeah, it’s pretty bad. But first let’s look at what it does well. It’s the least we could do after the Toshiba hardware guys went to so much effort.
