The Cinergy T USB XE is like all other USB DVB-T stick is very compact. Unlike other sticks the connection from the stick to the antenna is very robust. The antenna itself is ziehmlich small and thin.
Installing the software and drivers designed easily. Software works very well, offers top OSD and good features.
Reception itself is very good. As with my old DVB-T Stick the reception depends very much on where the antenna is, a few meters already make a huge difference. Even if someone passes by the antenna reception may deteriorate. This can also be because that I live relatively far at the edge of the coverage area.
Runs the reception but once he does that very well. No dropouts, liquid Image and Sound.
In my 1.8Ghz Notebook I come to about 33% capacity utilization.
Also by design convinced the stick, when receiving an internally mounted blue LED lights through the wieß the sticks through.
So overall highly recommended.
The only negative point is perhaps the missing remote control, but since I am usually not a lot eh Notebook zappe not a big problem.
In addition, it must be said that the remote controls of Yakumo-Sticks or identical sticks do not work absolutely. (20cm distance and line of sight: YES, otherwise NO).
