What a step backwards

Full of anticipation, I unpacked the part and then first the remote control a mix of seniors phone with giant buttons and cheaper Baumarkt-satellite receiver remote. Something cheap does not even Aldi Medion at the equipment and the cost of any 600th

Well then connected the receiver and the device made felt two hours tuning. At TechniSat you could at least the program lists download here is still being sought.

Then this huge icons and fonts. We are in the HD era with 65Zoll TVs, as should more than 5 programs and 1.5 per transmitter broadcasts fit on a Bildschirmseite.beim EPG.
The font size can not even adjust it.
EPG despite Internet and satellite reception grad times not recognized for 2 days, series as such.
How is working with continuous shooting also described nowhere. Due to problems with its predecessor (iCord HD +) I'm careful, because when changing the relay timers were gone and you missed the first episode. Let's see if he can do better

Then this front, displaying one hardly sees it this glaring neon ring, apparently not dimmable. Looks great on just under Fernesher when there so bright, not abschaltbbare continuous lighting from image distracts.

The picture I took when iCord HD + also slightly better. ARD HD looks very grainy and with fast camera pans, it is very blurry.

Direct keys for hard disk and apps there is no longer even. You always have about the Home button and then release it again with the giant symbols.
What used to be simple is now just awkward to reach, for example, no longer directly button press to the shooting now at least 3-5 keystrokes instead of 1x, or access to the timer overview earlier EPG button and yellow button already one was at the timers now the evolution least 6 8 keystrokes and when you click on the timer, you can not edit it even for a step back and press the "Plus" button and again a menu. The colored buttons are used only for HBBTV and teletext.

For this you can no longer recordings by date or name but what a stroke of genius, for stations and weekdays!
Individual series episodes bear only the name of the series, no further information which result or recording date. Great if you want to see a particular sequence.

It has a total of the crimping that the developers did not have operating concept, never had something with television or exceptions to the hat and not a single tester or (potential) customers have been asking for the operability or improvements.

From the EPG, I am very disappointed, I'm not blind and I do not need giant font! The design also takes far too long.
But let's see how he proposes rather a few euros lay on it and buy a linux box. Humax it just can not. The device is not worth the money.

Addendum 24.08 .:
If you send the thing to stand, it switches my TV from the same time. This may appear to be helpful, however, makes it impossible for other playback options such as Bluray, game console or built-in tuner on the TV to use.
The switch-off signal is apparently sporadic repeatedly sent over HDMI so that my TV (Philips) shuts down again.
So you have to start the receiver to Bluray to watch or turn on the TV again very often and miss half.
Who does such a thing and why ?! You can save power and thus not the feature you can not disable.

For EPG on some private channels such as RTL, it seems usually not to vote or is constantly changing, so that continuous shooting does not succeed. So much for Premium ;-)

For the smartphone you need all 4 apps to use to the receiver.
1. TV Guide so that you can program any timer recordings halfway.
2. remote a 1: 1 conversion of the TV remote control for scrolling on a Full HD display. No direct access to the hard drive or timer.
3. LiveTV to stream daily communication with stuttering
4. Media Player to play the recorded programs. No coils possible. You could jump back and forth jump but that did not work either.
Why gint no holistic solution only those Frickelapps where you have to sign in everywhere with the same data ?!

During shutdown it makes every eternally updates from any data even though it is always connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. Something like you can not make in the background, which can be any cheap phone.

Addendum of 07:11. it's getting worse. Thus, the one almost always needs to erase more reps you did not want to have to see once a week a single current episode in series to have happened to me for the umpteenth time in the automatism which I have also deleted the current episode just before I anscheuen it could. I could smack the thing against the wall.
Furthermore, the part of the recording of the next program has simply not been started when I had a look at the ongoing recording of the previous program on the hard disk ?! This thing has 4 tuners and all previous 4 Twin receivers, including Humax, which has never caused problems, it was just another shot and the respect of alleged 4 tuners!
The continuous shooting all run exclusively on the "Premium EPG" Why the hell can not limit the recording to certain seasons in premium !!! It's not rocket science.
