For this my first impressions in shorthand.
The scope of supply, inter alia, with HDMI cable and an extensive manual in DIN A4 format (with large font). At the receiver I could not detect any signs of wear, some still clung the protective film on it.
Connection and installation ...
... Went without a hitch. The manual was hardly needed to. The connections are clearly labeled and the menu is logical and overviewed build most of the agreed specifications, and adaptations, such as with video and sound folded right away. The pre-defined channel list handed for now and the update signaled the latest firmware on the device. So I could look at the first pictures on my LCD TV for less than 15 minutes. It would be desirable, an additional USB port on the back of the USB drive for recording.
Image and Tonqalität ...
... Leave via HDMI and optical output with me nothing to be desired. A very good picture in HD mode; a good during normal reception. In my previous digital Kathrein satellite receiver I already had a good picture, but now it's a little better. Occasional audio dropouts that I had for a split second on some channels have not yet been noticed until now.
Connection via USB ...
... Prepared with my 2.5-inch hard disk drive TakeMS no problems so far. Pictures and videos are played back properly. The contents of my SD memory card is read via a USB adapter correctly and displayed. A test recording from the receiver to this board worked at first attempt and was then reproduced exactly by this. Even reading the video file to the PC via Video de Luxe 17 "quickly went from equip, but the processor of my 6 year old PC was overloaded with playback of HD material in the processing of the film jerky While offering VDL before loading the.. movie file conversion at a;.. but that takes a long time images are rendered quickly enough, just big files take a little longer what I would hope would be a transition in the slideshow I could the receiver does not even crash through arrival and unplugging. the USB cable to change the USB device bewegen- that is very positive.
Operation ...
... The Diginova HD is self-explanatory through logical setup menu on the screen. The transmitter can be good and easy sorting. The supplied remote control made no problems- all responses were fine. Only the switching times required about 2-3 secs little longer than I was used previously.
The bottom line ...
... I would buy this receiver with its very good value for money again and can highly recommend it.
