Kathrein UFS 903 sw Digital Satellite Receiver (CI slot, HDMI, PVR-Ready, USB 2.0) (Electronics)

Customer Review

This morning I got via DHL said receiver, a Kathrein UFS 903rd

Although I personally do not see a lot of TV, but when it comes to call myself a perfectionist HiFi, so I'm anxious despite my television behavior always depends, in image and sound - regardless of the investment - to buy the Optimal.

Kathrein 903 I ordered for a relative abroad who asked me this but please preconfigure to him then finished rebroadcast.

Installation: If you look a little familiar with the matter, then the Kathrein 903 configured in principle after 10 minutes. All this also for the reason, because much is pre-set and the menu system can be described as exemplary.

Who then takes the trouble and goes into detail here and there can get even a little; so for example in the resolution, which is transmitted. This showed in a first test that the sending of the resolution in AUTO mode brought the best picture on the 50 "Panasonic. This probably also confirm other tests in conjunction with other TV's.

Tip: Before I would begin even to install anything, I looked at the menu, according to the state of the software - this is often no longer fully up to date and I have got used - as I set up quite a few receivers and satellite systems in the circle - this always as to make first.
That is also when Kathrein super easy and it controls the software via satellite and makes if necessary, the update via satellite. Just as easy and also quicker, also with a USB flash drive. Here again, the menu guidance of the 903 is exemplary.

Channel search / channel list: Again, pre-installed everything and who acknowledged the query after the "German channel list" during the initial installation, which can make it in the evening on the sofa and sort the search results according to his wishes.
Without PC a rather tedious and stupid matter, but since you do that usually only once, it is to get over.
Again, menus and help (below the symbols that what cause) Excellent and learn for laymen after 5 minutes.

Image: Let's talk about really important point, because that he is there: To conjure television images on the display. I was this morning, very impressed, what this unit provides for an image.

Note: I personally look via Topfield SRP-2100, which made her look pale arg 18 months ago in terms of image quality and sound quality, the twin receiver with hard disk of Kathrein + Technisat - for me quite clearly the reference.

But, and now the big BUT: What the Kathrein 903 handed in when it comes to HD picture, I can see only with outstanding. Even the SRP - 2100 there was only marginally better - in absolute terms therefore a 2+ and considering the price a 1+!

When SD picture of the difference was nevertheless clearly seen - here exceeded the Topfield 2100 the 903 quite a bit; but the Kathrein 903 but was still on a par with its big brother, the 922, and was significantly better than the Technisat HD S2 Plus. Thus, normal SD television with the 903 is an unqualified pleasure.

Conclusion: Although the Kathrein 903 is again at DHL in order to begin his journey towards southern Europe and I can not judge the long-term quality - but service and especially the BILD have worth and therefore the Kathrein 903 all honor.

For the money, almost a MUST HAVE. Really good!
