However, by this receiver, I am so excited - especially with the PVR function that I now not take it in the second home, but have constantly in use. For the PVR function of the TV, I was not at all satisfied.
So the device detects more easily connected via a USB hub disks; even with different partitions and different formats. The recording can be easily either via the EPG or programmed directly. A big advantage in contrast to the TV is that the programmed time can be adjusted. Had it been frequently experienced that the final minutes were missing, which was especially annoying in a film. Also subfolders can be created, changed names and files are moved to the subfolder.
What I also particularly liked the fact that the files will be written in a format that also detects the computer.
Even movies that have been recorded in HD DD 5.1 are reproduced in class picture and Tonqualiltät via the home theater system. However, have tried this several hard drives and USB cable, which also supplies the write speed required, which is required for this purpose. Here there are considerable differences.
So I transferred the meantime my entire music collection on the hard disk connected - and when Unlike a song, it can be safely deleted.
The only downside is that it -no matter whether USB or radio is no screen saver or sleep mode for the screen in the Music mode and that recordings not be separated by, for example, the advertising before the movie to separate (like me this used to from hard disk recorders was).
Conclusion: A really great device, which I very often have in the meantime in use and I also use only this unit to record.
PS: Well, I had yet no device for the second home, that was the HK 7540 sold out at very short notice. However, have now seen that it is sold again for more than 3 times, of what I paid. Property me for the second home the XORO HRK 8910 bought with other functions, but this pure can not hold a candle from the recording function to HRK 7540.
