To record, I use an external 1TB drive with USB 3.0, which the receiver almost easily tolerated: You should absolutely format the disk with your own computer new to NTFS, otherwise break longer recording more than two hours in HD from, because of the 4GB limit FAT32 systems.
Recordings of public channels in HD succeed well and can be immediately use the computer. Similarly, the private channels in SD quality. For private HD channels I was able to use the CI + module and recording. The recording is encrypted but that means: With the receiver and inserted module can view them, but not on a PC.
In the factory setting the antenna output at standby is switched off. If you want to use the TV behind it continue, you have to change the menu. Instead of 1.2 watts, I then measured 3.3 watts power consumption. Under 1.2 Watt to get, before leaving the clock display. Nevertheless, the blue LED, which is intended to indicate standby interferes (which is very bright! Tape it was necessary).
The Timer Programming is very easy and fun. Here is the excerpt on which the EPG is shown come quite small. This can be seen only a few channels and a small window.
Pretty complicated is the adaptation of the station list. It has several favorite lists available. But you can only configure whether a station is shown there. If you want to influence the location, you have to edit all the station list. This must be done only once, then the list is finished. One can also leave, because there is a search function for the transmitter, which is very helpful.
Conclusion So: good device does everything I want, but the setting requires time and information search.
