Initially, the device could take relatively few problems in operation, which in this case means that it could be turned on without giving the same address in flames. So far so good.
When setting up the network you will be asked just before the first test of patience. Anyone here make a mistake when WPA key for the wireless network must selfsame enter completely from scratch at every attempt. Once you've done it once you have to decide whether you want to allow to determine the network configuration via DHCP or this would make manually. This decision will be well thought out, because once you have chosen a variant, there is initially no turning back.
Anyone who wants to change over to DHCP to static configuration or must forcibly to go through the complete setup wizard, including selection of the wireless network and re-entering the WPA key. It's frustrating.
Whoever comes up with the idea to want to resolve those teething troubles by a software update, should ideally have the original packaging to hand.
After the firmware update can not connect to Wi-Fi is no longer possible even after repeated entering the WPA key. The setup wizard brought the firmware several times to freeze. This condition can be remedied only by pulling the power plug. Only the LAN connection is still working as expected.
Are DivX movies including the "Unlock Files" for DivX VOD as "unsupported format" rejected. For this feature is not available. The registration code for DivX registration of the device is on older TV sets due to the tiny font size and verschwimmender contours barely legible. An "S" can hardly be distinguished from an "8".
When reproductions of movies via DLNA it also often comes to freeze the firmware. Only the static background image is still displayed. Neither the controls on the unit or the remote cause any reaction. Multiple hectic pressing the "Back" button takes you with a bit of luck, at least not to the main menu.
The playback of Bluray content via the built-in composite video output is possible only in black / white. After playback starts, and the menu appears only in shades of gray. Only playback of a DVD brought the color back.
The usage of the menus is held partly unintuitive. Thus, the input focus is placed, for example, when entering IP addresses not in the first input field but on the button to save the changes. One must initially active in the input field to navigate to the settings to change, although one has to edit the setting already expressed its intention clearly expressed.
Striking was also that the device was quite hot during operation. However, this may be the summer temperatures due.
Among the positive points include in my case, the successful design of the device, which in my case despite sensitive ears pleasantly quiet operating noise and even after the firmware update still well-functioning detection DLNA-enabled network components.
All in all not fulfilled the device unfortunately my quality requirements and therefore many technical devices must as before the return journey to the manufacturer.
