So there was only the Humax. Ordered, unpacked, connected. Wow, it is so yet. Faster startup as the Technisat, on- screen menu in the settings and no annoying evidence that my card will be checked by Kabelkiosk, no annoying guidelines when zapping which the card is not plugged in. This annoyed me for years in which Digit Isio C.
The switch is with me with an attached hard drive in 30 seconds. Much faster than my Technisat.
The picture is very good, with HD channels even super. The switching times are at about 1 sec. Technisat is there slowly. To use the PVR function, I have a WD Red connected 2.5 1TB hard drive with an eSATA and USB cable. The plate was immediately recognized and formatted in its own format. To simultaneously record two programs, it is necessary to connect both cables. Then you can even watch a third program during recording. The programming of recordings from the EPG is simple, but the EPG is very slow and some stations are not displayed when I turn also that station.
You can still pre - and change tracking time on the broadcast, there I would have liked more flexibility. Just as then, the VPS "or as the Technisat the SFI". The recordings can be on a PC, with the appropriate programs, edit and burn to DVD / Bluray.
The remote control is very easy and very good to use. With its glossy surface but is a magnet for fingerprints and smudges, which then leaves a little "look cheap.
But all in all an excellent and almost perfect cable box and my Technisat will surely soon be replaced by a second Humax. A star deduction but the slow and not always complete EPG. Maybe that is still fixed with a firmware update.
Conclusion: Highly recommended.
