TechniSat ISIO TechniStar S3 - HDTV satellite receiver (Internet functionality, DVR Ready, CI +, UPnP, Ethernet, SCART, USB) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

After I had quit my Skyabo, also had a new receiver ago, my TV has no built-in satellite receiver.
Compared to the abysmal Pace receiver of Sky here completely new worlds on.
TechniSat has a gelungenene surface and is really easy to use.
The image quality is not much better than that from the Sky receiver, but this may be due to my old LG 42''Full HD LCD (Year 2009).
I especially appreciate the compact design and the easy to read display.
My Iomega 1TB hard drive was also immediately recognized and works as desired with the Technisat together.
The My Technisat app I use easily. Here, however, all features are not available, which is great touted in advertisements for this app: For example, the S3 does not have to stream UPNP server as movies from the HDD to phone or tablet.
Still, I have not regretted the purchase.
The switchover in the Penzio programs are great, too long, however, with HD + via an inserted HD + module.
But this is at the module and the HD + technology, since other devices also have long changeover.
The initialization of the module at reboot is quite sluggish.

+ Easy operation
+ Logical menus
+ Easy installation
+ Good workmanship and small size
+ Good shooting functions
+ Easy to connect the hard drive

- No UPNP server, as shown in the app advertising
- Long switching in conjunction with the HD + module and HD + transmitters
- The initial installation takes a long time
- No optical audio output!
