Convincing picture and sound performance; unclear assignment program

Operating instructions / installation:
Throughout the operating instructions can be found only information required to locate the menu items and their choices. Explanations about each setting there is not, because it is probably assuming that everyone knows what to attach a start or end frequency, step sequence, constellation and symbol rate, etc, etc. means. For the program search is fortunately an Automatic mode is available, the more than 300 programs disordered and repeated several times partly lists after completion (especially zigmal Premiere).

Menu / Settings:
With the sort of programs then begins the trouble! The entire program assignment is repeatedly built into each nested, too complex and cumbersome so, so it is imperative to think in the minds of programmers. But then remains the complicated structure, including WG. the partially reserved areas, enigmatic. Initially, it is almost impossible to keep track here and nerves, to find the programs in general and to bring to the desired location. A filter function that hides least encrypted channels, would be here useful and helpful. All other menu items are as far as logical, easy to reach and understand.

Tip: Under preferred channels (0-99) all the desired programs can be copied. Here then you have the freedom to organize or delete again, while maintaining the performance found over the tuning programs this.

Reception performance / picture and sound quality:
The picture and sound quality improved significantly as compared to the analog cable signal. Now the transmitted image sharpness and richness of detail, the contrast and the color has, and black display are now noticeably better. With large 42 inch LCD's but it is clear that digital only 480 lines are transmitted and is caused by yet to see a slight noise from nearby (1m). Here HDTV will only remedy. Nevertheless, the picture, sound quality is really convincing and creates satisfaction.

A direct teletext function does not exist, the teletext on the TV instead forwarded and can be accessed with the remote control.

Important:
Should be available or not function after clean install while other familiar programs, this could have the following reason. Usually the antenna amplifier, distribute the incoming cable signal in the house, out of date. Often the frequency range of the amplifier extends only to 450 MHz, thus can not stations above this range are received. However, even if the amplifier the current max. Covering the frequency range of 862 MHz is frequently found that the amplifier lose after 10 years of power. The highly sensitive Humax box then acknowledges this with missing programs, incomplete program overview or pixel / or block noise in the transmitted image, etc.

Conclusion:
Very powerful digital cable receiver in terms of image and sound quality really convinced. Criticism there for the complicated, totally overloaded and nested design of the program assignment. Less would be more here.
