Some Logitech Revue Units Affected With Corrupted Firmware Out of the Box
If you thought things couldn’t get any worse in Logitech’s admittedly-failed Google TV experiment, guess again. As they’re trying to push as many Logitech Revue units out of the door as they can to make up for their losses this holiday season, consumers who purchase the Google TV box may not even be able to use them.
Many new owners are reporting that setup fails on step seven where you’re asked to accept their EULA. There’s no word yet on when a possible fix or workaround may be achieved.
It really is inconvenient for Logitech who probably sold a lot more of these things at its heavily discounted price this holiday season than the first few months of its existence. With this issue, many people will be urged to return it because, well, a $100 paper weight just isn’t fun. I’d rather take a lump of coal in my stocking – at least I can grill with it. [via GTVSource]
