Xoro HRS 8540 digital satellite receiver (HDTV, DVB-S2, HDMI, SCART, PVR-Ready, USB 2.0) (Electronics)

Customer Review

My first impression when unpacking was sobering: Very small and cheap-looking remote control.

After I connected everything to me immediately is the "menu" noticed, which does not affect the times.

But after a short test phase I was very surprised and now I'm even excited about this device.

The device can actually everything a modern receiver should now be able to afford (except Web-TV and pay-channel function, but I already knew that before) and this Xoro handles these tasks really not bad.

+ Very fast switching
+ Very good HD quality
+ Simple recording to a USB flash drive (PVR function)
+ Also recognizes USB flash drives with the NTFS file format (is still rare, and if so, only in more expensive devices)
+ Recognize MKV files (is even more rare, but very convenient for me)
+ Clear menu navigation (for display there but a smooth 6)
+ Recognize many more programs than other receivers (have 2 more before ordered and tested, but they returned again - thank you therefore again to the Amazon team)
+ I received a 2nd HRS 8540 yesterday (for the bedroom) and I previously stored on the USB stick my station list from the living room receiver. The 2nd receiver was in not even two minutes fully furnished, equipped with the latest software and programmed with my Custom Senders List.

I have not tried the time shift function.

I can not yet give no definite opinion about the up-scaling, only that one can recognize the difference between SD and HD programs very clearly.

- With the remote control, I could not get used to this day. The functions and key assignments are OK and intuitive, but it works just totally cheap, easy and shaky.
- And if you would have given in the menu design more trouble (but which does not apply to menus, as this is very responsive and is also clearly), could you ask easy 20 or 30 EUR more for the same device, and it would be the money definitely worth.
- Is a software update via satellite I do not possible, at least I have not yet noticed this feature (have after this but not wanted, since I anyway do not need) - USB Update with original software from the XORO website anyway I prefer.

Regarding software update even a small tip. When performing a firmware update, the settings and the channel list to its factory state are reset. Therefore, I had carried out an all-Data backup before the update, and then made the update. But after I had again been playing my assurance (primarily because of my station list), was again the old firmware on the device. So be careful, a "downgrade" is possible. Best of all, easy to use only the "User-Data-Backup", which includes all the individual settings in the menu and the individual, self-created channel list.

In summary, I was really convinced this little device, the remote control and the appearance of the menu bother me a bit, but because of the many other benefits that is why I want to just half a point pull in rating = ie 4.5 points from me.
