Humax PR Fox C MK II Digital Cable Receiver (with SKY card reader) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

I use this cable receivers (Hesse: iesy) only a few days and am quite satisfied.
Connection and start-up designed easily.
Picture and sound quality I find very good (I own a Sharp-PALoptimal LCD TVs).

The maximum power is indicated with 9 W.
All right, if it's true, unfortunately not specified for standby consumption.
Switching from standby takes about 8-10 sec.

With regard to the Order of programs found the guidance is not particularly clear, since it offers a wealth of possibilities that a little confused.
I chose "Point 6.4:
Edit Favorite Channels. "It may be up to 100 channels on the
Laying program positions 0-99, the "0" is selected as a very strange start.
Selecting take some time, depending on how many channels you select, but it must indeed be only once in a rule.
First, the courts are thereby replenished numerically, you
but also may at any time after exchange program numbers.

Switching time: with P +/- about 2 to 2.5 seconds, which is just about acceptable for me..
If you enter a number (eg program 17) but you have to wait 5 sec., Until the box automatically selects the program, which is much too long.
Although you can press the "OK" button after digits trigger instant switch, but just the OK button, the many for so
Functions is needed, comes in such remote anyway mostly broken first.
But since I do not always "zap", and if, then only with the P +/- buttons, that's for me to bear.

As a big advantage, I feel that you can change the TV channels with both the P +/- buttons as well as the up / down arrow keys,
the volume can be switched also with sound +/- or with the right / left arrow keys.

Program information: These are easy access and the OSD designed graphically appealing. With another keystroke are equal to the
Data of the next program available. You can even define the transparency of the information panels of completely blanketing until completely transparent in stages.

Program Guide (EPG): very convenient designed here can be quite
easily determine by time bar, which just happens where and how long.
Select program to record is very easy to work up to 1 week in advance, in the cable but only about 4 days are apparently available.

Unfortunately, the teletext is not working, even if it appears in the program information as available. But not particularly important to me,
I can get me this directly through the television the few times where I need VT.

Maybe that helps even a software update, but the device is only
was very short on the market and at the moment there is no update available.

Conclusion: If you are not a "zapping Junkie", for which the switching times are probably too long and is not it instructed Teletext on this box
retrieve, so I can recommend the device as very good to good.
