From an original aspect, the youngest of Aston is really complete. Automatic installation is kept by auto-detection. It connects the TV, the cable (s) (s) antenna 1 or 2 external hard drives formatted in FAT32 (2 USB ports), the Fransat card and / or Bi-TV (automatic classification of channels and bouquet), the language is displayed, "ok" and allowed to work. On that side, nothing new since Wamba HD. We can also switch to manual for more seasoned. The dual tuner is handy to record and watch at the same time. No change channels at the start of the recording, which may be considered even if it is not finished, just a warning. The image is very pure 1080i and for lovers, for audio, it is entitled to either the HDMI output stereo (classic), conversion of Dolby Digital Plus Dolby Digital (still classic), and finally Dolby Digital Plus "TRUE" with compatible amplifiers. You can also select the different tracks and subtitles For those curious about this famous HDMI input, and much of it is 1.4a, one can connect a 3D Blu-ray player even when the machine is idle, it is "transparent", automatic switching. Tested up to 36bits color (sorry I no more!) 1080p / 24Hz 3D, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby True HD 7.1 etc. Frankly for the price Aston has good material, especially that it will evolve. Power Management for the front panel display to the external hard drive, CEC. Silent for passive cooling. Me I put 4 because the records manual programming is done via the menu (setup) and not pop on the screen (is via the guide, but are awaiting the lifting of restrictions program guides in France This is not from manufacturers of decoders or TV but some people who have rights.) You can name it once it has been completed, this type of phone with keyboard and not QWERTY. 1 year limited warranty. Otherwise navigation, on-screen display, the sub-menus etc ... We stay in the Aston concept and it goes well. I did not notice any "bugs" important. So good product, perched on his 4 small chrome legs. In summary, if you were expecting a double tuner / recorder for DVB-S2 Fransat and Bis-TV, buy it!
