This decoder has a very beautiful image especially in high definition. Installation is very simple and clear instructions are in French. I have not yet gone to the end of its technical possibilities but it works perfectly with a map CANALSAT (39 for savvy) and allows recording a HD channel while watching another program while being very silent. Connected to the internet, it allows VOD and access to shared video sites. I connected an external HDD in addition to the USB socket without problems. On the downside, it is quite slow to start up and zapping and once off (sleep mode) a big orange light persists, hitherto could not turn unless you unplug the power outlet.
