Mercedes among the DVD-HDD recorders - expensive and very good, but not perfect

Panasonic DMR EX 77 EC DVD- and Hard Disk Recorder 160GB (DivX Certified, Upscaling 1080i, HDMI) Silver with integrated DVB-T Tuner (Electronics)

Customer Review

I want to start with the positives: very good workmanship, integrated DVB-T receiver brings a very good image (analog tuner not verified), recording to hard drive is easy on the clear EPG, TV can help steer via remote control, etc., etc. Many positive points might perform!
Two quirks:
1. Macke: The phantom power for the DVB-T antenna is also active when the unit is off. What you want? Well, one of the unit connected TV or second receiver, the gain of the antenna might need. OK got it! But why can not turn off the menu in order to save electricity this option ??? Antenna is either ALWAYS ON or ALWAYS OFF, regardless of whether the device is on or off. Fortunately, I have even without active antenna a good reception, which probably long does not apply to everyone. Otherwise I would every time I turn off the receiver, turn off the antenna power in menu Extra. It's frustrating.
2.Macke: The device has no teletext. Read correctly. Every 10 year old SEG TV has teletext but not this Panasonic receiver of the latest generation. Fortunately, I have a second receiver (then with teletext) want, because I can watch something else even during recording. Connection via switch box of Hama.
So do not bother me, since these two quirks, I would recommend this device. Especially since it has made the 2nd place in the Stiftung Warentest (issue 12/2006). Behind a competing product from their own home without DVB-T receiver. So double victory for Panasonic.
