Easy connection via HDMI or SCART. For the sound enjoyment, an optical output is, so you can enjoy Dolby Digital properly. Operation easy. If you want to take, I recommend the stream gates 24 also from Technisat. These can be connected via USB to the receiver. So you are more flexible if you want to transfer recordings to your PC or laptop, for example, and then burn. As a recording timer is then used SFI (the electronic counterpart TV magazine from Technisat) Easy goes it's not really. Timeshifting is then with this combination no longer a problem. On the hard drive in addition images, mp3 ... be saved, which can then be accessed and played via a menu of the receiver. The receiver is network or internet capability.
ATTENTION HD + is available free of charge from the 1st selection of HD + transmitter 12 months, after which you pay an annual commitment fee. Since the HD + card is already at delivery in the receiver, you should remove these if you do not want the same + HD look.
