In addition, I wanted to call up programs on the latest LG TV (LG42LM669S) via DLNA and can view, without me having to program a mission twice. Even the simple and went smoothly even if the fast forward and rewind just in 1 min (smallest jump) steps going. The quality of a DR recording in HD (ZDF without DRM) is as in the original, and runs about Devolo dLAN 500 properly (the cockpit indicated maximum power. 116MBit / s). The control works completely on the LG TV with the remote control.
The 155 hours Aufnahmekapaziät in 1TB disk hand me a long time because I archive anything. But for collectors there are the possibilities of external USB connecting plates or burn to DVD or Bluray (both not yet tested). There may also be restrictions here by DRM.
Transferring a DRM protected DVD or Bluray via DLNA does not work, any more than the transfer to the hard drive. On the former I had hoped, the latter I did not expect.
The play Blurays runs smoothly, the start time is even slightly faster than my old Sony player. The DVD playback also runs without problems, I have the impression that if the upscaling makes a slightly better picture than on my old Sony player: -) ... but confusion with a Bluray not there!
Presenting holiday pictures via DLNA on a Windows server (Win7 and Win8) comes at a simple level, even if my Windows was initially somewhat closed. A little tip: The start slide show is in the software version 1.05 only via the "Options" command. Pressing the blue button brings nothing!
Starting remote programming behind a Fritz box (standard configuration) works neither with the Android app yet the Apple app yet through the browser. The connection is established but the loading bar sometimes runs 20% and rarely to 50% and then stops ... Programming is not possible. A call to the hotline was nice but very non-committal. I has to think about the crooked yellow fruits that ripen at the customer ... fortunately I do not need the function.
For the transfer of recorded programs as well as the transfer of current programs is functioning properly and with just a few stuttering at the start (test with Android (S3) and the iPad4).
The operating concept seems simple and clear, but may be missing one or the other finesse ...?!
The sound can be heard clearly at times (hard disk or fan). When playing DVD and Bluray could reduce the noise ?!
From a ventilated hifi cabinet is heard but nothing.
The receiver is very good, I have two HD channels and ARTE HD Servus in recent weeks increasingly poor transmission power until you finally were able to build no more image. These two channels can be received with the BCT835 again, but unfortunately still with many image defects.
Good device for pragmatists with hifi cabinet.
Rather nothing for power users like to meet a lot of features.
I would buy the unit again and when the Amazon is nächstmal faster also like again.
Stand 19.10.2013: The problem has been reported right after your purchase at Panasonic, until today the problem of the remote control is not resolved! Possible workaround see comment.
Stand 09.04.2015: As the comments of Helmi I have the configuration adapted since running the remote programming, even if I use it rarely. The appliance will continue to properly and is in daily use. In HD + I omitted because there are provided restrictions that may block the fast forward ... And I do not want to pay money if I will then sentenced even to consider advertising. Whether and how far these limitations can be implemented at the time you certainly read in the HD + products.
