Unit was promptly delivered - with extra bestelltem HDMI cable. Scanning will start by itself. All free to air digital TV channels from cable Germany found - and only this. No endless list of encrypted channels. When stations edit small problem. Device requires a code. Read directions for use! Factory preset code: 0000 Now have some transmitter deleted and some marked with Skip. Sort I have so far not. Recording I do not want too. All in all a great device for my purposes. How long will it last, remains to be seen.
