So it is advisable to strike up the latest software via USB at the very beginning. An Internet search engine helps because arrange (Keyword example: "firmware Comag SL90 HD 3.0.1").
The update takes only a few seconds. Afterwards, many of the problems that has raised my Vorrezensent, history.
Image Quality __________________________
The image quality of HD channels is very good (as it should be in HD yes) and stuttering or picture loss there at a reasonably good satellite system no.
Stations in SD can be scaled up so that the pixels are interpolated not to let the picture look edgy and pixelated. That brings an enormous improvement of the image especially for stations with rather low image quality (eg. Euro Sport).
Shipments aufnehmen___________________
A highlight is the recording and time shift function. Who wants to see the evening the movie without ads, turns on the Micro at 20:15 on, waiting for half an hour and then rewinds just in advertising before.
Whether that is ethical, everyone must decide for themselves;)
Timed recordings are also possible. The receiver then automatically turns on (if it was previously on standby), and if desired after work again.
Even daily or weekly recordings are programmable, so you will never miss an episode of their favorite series again.
Unfortunately, only a maximum of eight different recording jobs can be saved, which is sometimes too little.
What is also lacking is an automatic renewal before and after shooting, because some stations do not take it too well with the schedule. Currently you have to always do "by hand" the.
The hard disk can be formatted in FAT32 both, as well as in NTFS. Recordings are optionally than TS ("Transport Stream", ie audio / video plus teletext etc) or just as MPG saved.
Simultaneous recording and watching another recording is possible. Simply press the Info button twice.
And another note: If you press the REC button, then hear the recording again after two hours. This can be circumvented by then again presses the button and the desired duration setting.
The menu and the surface ___________
Visually, it does not look like much, because the graphical user interface is very pixelated. The menu, however, is fairly straightforward and simple design, since one should find their way quickly.
The Mediaplayer_______________________
The Micro can also play MPG videos, he has not even taken. MP3 files it can play, but the operation is very cumbersome.
Warnings and Negatives_______________
Those who intend to enjoy the Micro via the optical audio output surround sound, be warned: There may be time to short audible dropouts of time! In addition, the AC3 sound is partially asynchronous to the image.
When this is selecting the Audio button to normal stereo sound but not the case. Therefore, the Micro recommends only for altäglichen TV mode and not for movie nights.
EPG__________________________________
Well, the EPG is such a thing. Sometimes he works great, sometimes not so great. Is like playing the lottery, but you can live with it.
Fazit________________________________
The Micro M160 HD is above all a basic model for those who do not want to spend several hundred euros to benefit from HDTV.
He does what he should: bring TV in HD on the TV.
Perfectionists should but rather invest at least twice as much money;)
