Unfortunately, there are currently only a few manufacturers that offer a DVD recorder with DVB-C. As I have previously had good experiences with Panasonic devices, it also this unit Panasonic DMR-EX84CEGS DVD and HDD recorder 160 GB (DVB-C / DVB-T / analog combination tuner, CI Plus, USB, HDMI output) silver should then will. I have chosen the Express Delivery and could him the very next day call my own, therefore. Ratz Fatz connected to my Philips TV, launched an automatic tuning and after about 15 minutes the device was ready. When I wanted to make the fine-tuning, I had to take at hand for this purpose the operator's manual. As reported several times, this is not particularly easy to read / understand. Although I already have the device 3 weeks use, I'm talking about the basic functions (recording, playback of DVD / recorded TV program) is not yet come over (is not the device, but rather to me). Timer recordings can be prima perform the guide function, also it gives me quickly managed to put my favorite lists. This is necessary because you can put the saved channels otherwise not in a desired sequence (eg. Analogous to the TV set). What has already excited me from the first moment, the image quality, razor-not only in the HD programs is sharp, but also in other programs. Here I see great differences to my "old unit". Conclusion: if you can wait a little longer, this should do, to look at how the market (and in particular the price) developed when MGL. several DVB-C offer enabled devices. In my case, I could not do this because my old machine broke down and it was not worth a first "DVB-C-free device" to buy.
