Customer Review

What exactly are the problems associated with the Samsung drive?

I have the combination just running ... well, the board makes when you turn already strange noises, tackert so ca 10 sec. But otherwise the thing runs really ...
But I have also from time to time crashes with a timer recording, time shift and when digitizing video files via the AV -In.
The DVB-T tuner is not very sensitive, but not necessarily deaf.
Can be with you the recording quality to something other than SP change? For me, the settings in the timer menu can not be changed, and the setup just a general code is possible, but this seems to have no effect, and it is therefore still in SP mode added.
Stream MKV files I managed either via wireless LAN nor a LAN without Rückeln, but I am still in the testing phase ... but somehow the thing does not seem to sufficiently buffer, and crashes while sometimes even from .... if not inerhalb the next 5 days a FW update is online, I'll return the thing, and it might order in 2-3 months again ....

But otherwise you can not complain. OK the network throughput via Samba is modest ... more than 2.7 MB / s are not really there, and so is the stream of full-HD a bit borderline.
Some bugs in the FW and the worst is the fact with the lack of cable tuner, I really miss! Nice would be a combination tuner as it exists in many LCD TVs: DVB-T / C and analogue cable ... so much for the wishes.
Youtube would also be very nice, and as I said a little clearer mehfach Internet radio station list.

The naming of video recordings is limited to 17 characters, which makes no sense at all, because over the network can be translucent, the title bar umbenenneŽn any length, and they can also be scrolled.
The service is really bad in many places and very getting used to.
Oh yes, the gößte spasm is the Channel Set / sorting, is hard to describe, but it's not real. If you look in the timer list to the programmed Aufnhmen to check and modify if necessary, amn sees as a program only in the order of found stations automatically by system vegebenen Küzel "DTV1 - DTV xx" and the generated Filnamen a recording also contained no reference to the transmitter, but only the date and the time.
So now first enough ... was my first review
