I am a customer of cable Germany and have a device searched with which you can take public broadcaster in good quality. Because of the positive judgments I fell on the Dyon Raptor. The unit arrived today and makes a good impression optically. So connected, tuning done (takes a long time) and great disappointment. Judging from the main menu> Applications> Edit TV programs, so you can click through the programs and both provided with $ sign encrypted programs and FTA channels (ARD, ZDF, etc.) point to the small blue screen in the mask no image, but only hints as 'Encrypted', 'No Signal' or blank blue screen. Of course, a normal picture on the television, but only display the sender and 'No Information'. The result remained constant, even after I used the CI module with K02 card from my TV. I have read the manual several times, searched all the menu items and scours the Web. Sorry, no solution. She was ultimately quite simple. Right at the back, with me under the channel numbers from 0300, all the stations come again and there they work. I've found that when I was going to write an email to the support of Dyon and precaution again all 261 found channels have been tried.
Now that I have some time have dealt with the Raptor me a few supplementary statements. I can only confirm that the device actually works excellently. It is contrary to my old HDD recorder of let out audible when he recorded, extremely quiet. Only the 500 GB 2.5-inch Seagate (power supply as opposed to Dyon recommendation via USB) are very quiet running noises that you hear only when you put your ear right next to it. In principle, the Raptor would therefore deserves five points. Unfortunately, he has a bad manual. This is not even noted that you need pay for an update to connect a hard drive. This update can not be found then at Dyon under 'Downloads' but in the shop. Also there is no indication how big the USB memory stick can be up to. Between the contents of the on-screen menus and the manual can be often right away no real relationship manufacture. I suspect that the negative reports in the Forum are mainly due to the weak operating instructions. Not everyone has the time and desire to work with 'try and error' the operation. It's a shame that has to suffer such an excellent and inexpensive product under such a relatively easily be solved lack!
