Positives:

- Excellent recording to USB and / or external hard drive (not picky about old hardware)
- Timeshifting problem.
- Very easy to configure on initial startup.
- Many options
- Lightweight small device (. Plastic predecessor S1 was made of aluminum)
- Very good picture (especially via HDMI) and very good sound (only electrical output -. No optical)
- Operation possible even at the device on the top.
- News and features TV program available for inspection at 11 stations simultaneously.
- HDMI cable and 2 AAA batteries Been supplied.
- Only German, clearly understandable user + CD. If mE but not required.
- MSRP is 179,00 Euro. I found on Amazon 99.97 euros paid incl. Shipping.
- Only 7 watts measured power consumption. 0.2 watts in standby.
- OFF button, sleep button, mute button are both on the corners of the remote control. Ideal to find even in the dark.
- ISIPRO. Searches automatically for new channels in the background and no longer deletes existing stations !!! Without laborious manual tuning.
- Automatically turns on when a USB recording is programmed.
- Holt every night at 04:00 clock the current TV program for the next 7 days.
- HDMI-CEC (For simultaneous operation of the receiver and TV with one remote control - If you switch the receiver off, is also simultaneously turned off the TV set The same also when you turn ... but does not work with any TV.).
Negatives:
- Per EPG recordings are programmed only 7 days in advance. Manual However, any time is possible.
- The TV / TV list is retrieved only for 7 days. Better would be 14 days. (But to get over).
What I really liked the service: While the software update via satellite was running already for 30 minutes and I waited impatiently for the end of the update, I called for the support of TechniSat to (German landline) and asked if I Update should cancel -Vorgang, or to continue running. The staff told me that I should never break and the process can take up to 60 minutes. I did not hold, and my answer was cleared free of charge within 1 minute. I found great.
Also good, I find that the device during setup an always informed what it is doing and how long it will take (except for the software update as described above).
If you want to speed up the initial configuration, you should perform the software update later.
Otherwise, everything runs like clockwork.
Info: An average SD movie requires 3 GB of storage. An HD movie requires three times, namely 9GB of space. To save space, it is better to use standard definition channels for recording. If questions are to you can feel free to contact me ..
I would buy the device at any time and can recommend it definitely. Value for money: TOP.
