The unit stands on the recording function using the Ali 3061E chipset which is well above the Mstar chipset currently used by many DTT decoders. It may be noted such as the ability to record one channel while watching an old recording. During playback you can make quick jumps configurable slices (30 sec, 1-5-10-30 min), the fast-forward system cursor movement .... We can also place multiple markers in a record so handy to zap commercials or mark the best moments in a recording for quick access.
For the negative side, we note that we must specify an end time instead of an end time, which is not very ergonomic when you're used to specify an end time.
Whether one is limited to 8 timers against 16 for the CGV Etimo 1T is equipped with the same Ali 3601 chipset that Sagem.
No recording mode business days from Monday to Friday, it's a shame because this is present on the GTC Etimo 1T.
In the audio menu, when the bitstream option is set by default, the receiver automatically selects the AC3 track + 5.1 on HD channels, so when you zap it does not need to change the audio channel to enjoy the AC3 + 5.1, and this is really a very significant point in relation to the other decorations that do not.
Multimedia side, the Sagemcom DT83HD is wrong on many videos avi was sound but no picture. It is not possible to adjust the size and color of the external sub titles. A good point, it supports MKV with compressed headers. As many of the devices DivX3 is not supported. And DTS is not supported nor bitstream ...
The multimedia part is not divided into parts (Video, Music, Photos, Record) as decorations or equipped Mstar Chipset Sunplus, where all files are in bulk in a menu which is called USB, you organize your files in folders (we like it or not like). The decor manages HDD with multiple partitions as Mstar chipset, NTFS is supported and you can choose the partition which will host the records.
Side remote control, it is not Directive and the key layout is well thought out. But unfortunately this remote is a Chinese generic model which made it conflicts with several other manufacturers (some LG TVs, Storex TwinBox 230 HDW3 Terms, Conditions Etimo 2T PEEKTON PK1880 ...) using the same codes remote controls. The hit of that is not very nice, it's low-end plastic.
