TechniSat ISIO TechniStar S3 HDTV satellite receiver (Internet functionality, DVR Ready, CI +, UPnP, Ethernet, SCART, USB) (Electronics)

Customer Review

The TechniStar S3 has 3 months ago my TechniSat HD8-S replaced.

my only wishes to the receiver was that shooting faultless on USB media flaps as the HD8-S (since up to 7 shots were partly consecutively unplayable), to the new receiver should also support HD +.

the "positive"
+ Small dimensions compared to other receivers
+ Can be operated via an app (MyTechniSat)
+ Very good image quality, analog sound OK
+ Stand-by power consumption approx 0,2-0,3W (Quick Start and clock OFF!), With clock about 1.0W
+ External IR receiver can be connected, thus the receiver can also in a closet
+ Very low heat generation compared to the HD8-S

the "neutral"
o CI + and Smart Card slot side
o No support for two cards (Sky and HD +) simultaneously, card slot is only Conax
o UPnP prepared from time to time problems - these seem to be fixed with an update about a month ago 10
o both USB ports behind (Digit ISIO S / S1 have a front USB)
o ISIPRO announces an update, but aborts. According to factory settings it went.
o SiehFernInfo now and shows no shipments on, after selecting a channel the current program.

the "negative"
- Digital audio out is confused with RCA video. The jacks for analog audio (red / white) and yellow for digital sound are right next to each other. So how it is actually used by RCA video and other receivers.
at the TechniSat ISIO S / S1 jack is for digital audio orange incidentally and not right next to analog audio.
Therefore, here the Note: The receiver has no output for RCA Video!

if one judges the external power supply as positive or negative remains entirely up.

the problem that Sky and HD + are not used simultaneously, I have solved by activation of HD + SKY, the cost (4.16 EUR / month = 50 EUR / year) are the same. Thus, a card and a CAM for both ranges.

in the 3 months in which I now operate the S3 ISIO I could play all recorded movies. The receiver has recognized almost all external HDDs immediately (regardless of whether Seagate, Toshiba, Buffalo, etc.) with a Seagate 500GB (on the HD8-s worked) he makes some problems. The HDD is not always recognized at startup.

All in all a good little receiver with good image.

Who wants to look at the same time, however, TV and this can only be limited to record a different station.
