Negative points that I was able to identify so far (and therefore only 4 out of 5):
- Relatively long time until the unit is ready for operation (about 20-30 seconds; clearly, it is actually like a PC under Linux)
- Ugly remote (veringert the Wife Acceptance Factor) ;-)
- YouTube is not (obviously since the last firmware release in September 2012), I also do not use
- Photos are not automatically turned into slide shows, although the necessary EXIF information would be available.
- No playback of DVD audio and DVD video streams (TSINFO); would have me but also be surprised if as the necessary functionality would have been included.
Positives:
- Fast switching between channels
- Permanent Timeshifting (well, let's see if that holds through the built-in disc in the long run)
- Quiet despite active cooling
The revision of the channel list with an additional program (DVR Manager) I like that, but the transmission of the channel list and from the device is working with my firmware version only via USB or FTP (Note: Port 2121 use!).
Very practical, the remote control app for iOS and Android. Replaces searching the remote control when the children have hid it again.
One word I have to to get rid of HD +: that broadcasters in HD + recordings (eg up to the beginning of the recorded program, the programmed forward) stop the audition technically I find a mess. However, it is clear to me that Kathrein is not at fault here.
In summary, it is worth to spend some time in the configuration. Then you will be rewarded with a good device with powerful functions.
