Customer Review

The Xoro HRS 8500 Digital Satellite Receiver provides for its low price a decent multimedia package!

But first to the basic functions:
(+) The satellite reception quality is satisfactory in my opinion and just above average, not weaknesses but also not outstanding performance. Nevertheless, remarkable how stable the image remains even in very bad weather.

(+) View the TV with the latest firmware even when HD programs synchronous (No Lip-Sync problems). This partially self costly satellite Reciever have problems.

(+) The image quality is quite good, the upscaling and deinterlacing of 576i signals is solid; for the price range even above average! However, the most popular television should get better through this now, so that I almost recommend the signal unchanged to hand over to the TV.
(-) Although I have here a major gripe. Unfortunately, it is not (yet) to be possible to automatically detect the Reciever what resolution the current program has to be give (576i, 720p or 1080i) and this then. You have to in the options manually opt for an output method when you want to use his TV for deinterlacing. Therefore, there has been for me for practical reasons to adjust the Receiver to 720p.

(+) Operator is designed very simply and clearly. The channel list can be made using the tool of Xoro home easily create.

(+) Very good service; The firmware we continuously adapted and improved import and can be very easy.

In addition, the Receiver has many additional features:
(+) PVR and Timeshift are very easy to use and operate reliably.

Play (+) Videos (AVI, MPEG and Co.) is also a nice extra feature that also works fine.

Conclusion: price-performance tip and strong buy recommendation
