A receiver that his money is definitely worth

Since late last year, I was conditioned to handle the search for a satellite receiver. Since I had tried 5 devices in the price range of 100 to 150, the bottom line is more or less as a handle in the toilet, turned out (at least for my needs and desires). The one kept crashing, another recognized no hard drives, the next time the recording function was almost unusable, yet another was totally awkward by the operator and interior ago and the last one could go still fix brew a coffee when changing channels to time distribution.
Even just before despair, I then ordered me a recommendation, the TechniSat DIGIT HD8 +. When he was there, I joined him immediately and set up what has indeed taken its time, but completely without a hitch went. The establishment was virtually on its own. It had actually only from time to time on "Ok" or "continue" button. The station sorting or create and customize favorites lists was also no problem. The Fernbdienung fits comfortably in your hand and the operation is for the most part very intuitive and also due to the multi-function keys, whose current function is always displayed in the menu, almost self-explanatory. The Bildschrimmenüs are clearly designed and you usually relatively quickly without manual takes the desired functions and settings.
The switching times for SD channels in HD and HD + transmitters are well tolerable. The recording function works perfectly. My memory media have been detected without exception, even my external 1TB drive. Only when shooting in HD, he had in which have one or other drive problems, but what probably was because the they are relatively old and fairly low read and write speeds at my little drive and. The recorded movies can easily transferred to the PC and can be edited there (Attention !! in HD + recordings there are problems, which I know not + itself is to but the receiver but in HD, also Timeshift is when HD + transmitters apparently not possible). With the network function you want from the receiver directly to shared folders, and can be accessed from the PC to the storage media connected to the receiver. This feature I could not test so far unfortunately. Very good, I also think the second USB port and the SD card slot on the front page, if you sometimes just want to quickly view photos or videos from your phone or the camera itself. The list of supported formats is very extensive there.
A big compliment gets the DIGIT HD8 + from me for the digital program guide. This is for all the channels available at any time for several days in advance, no matter what channels you are currently in. Furthermore, there is a search function is also included, with which you quickly find eg repeats of movies, if you missed to watch or record it.
For picture and sound quality I actually falls only one a: Super.
What I also like is good, the digital display on the receiver, where for example, the sender name, or the radio title information are displayed. The brightness is also fine, not to use as some other receivers, where one would have the digital display as a position light.
Only when switching on the receiver needs quite a lot of time, but this is only a setting issue. If you switch the receiver namely only in standby it is much faster when you turn and also can be said to be accessed from a media even when switched off via network. But he then also consumes more power.
All in all I'm TechniSat HD8 + completely satisfied with. Everything works as it should, it is good to use and processing also leaves little reason to complain.
