I bought the Zehnder HX 7110 U mainly because of PVR and TimeShift function. In pay-TV I am not interested, so the nonexistent card reader does not lead to deduction of points. As hard drive I have a Western Digital Elements 1TB WDBAAU0010HBK connected, which is also the amount of memory, with which the receiver can handle according to instructions exploits. In conjunction with this receiver, I can highly recommend the way the hard disk. It turns off completely as soon as the receiver is sent to the standby. But now to the actual determination of our receiver. When the VCR Zehnder works perfectly. The programming via EPG is done easily and quickly. The receiver will start approximately one minute before the recording starts to be ready at the start time be. Also TimeShift works perfectly. However, one should not necessarily much coils at a HD recording. Apparently, then processing loads exceed the capacity of the system. This manifests itself in the picture and sound when recording. This phenomenon, however, also occurs in other, much more expensive receivers. When "normal" time-shifted television, so pause the program and look at a later date, there are no problems. The image is transferred via HDMI, shows, compared to the built-in our Panasonic Plasma full HD TV receiver, no differences. The image quality I can therefore assessed as very good. The sound from the digital, electrical S / PDIF RCA output is also very good. The receiver transmits with a power consumption of 1 watt in standby and 7 watts in operation, the energy label A. My conclusion: The PVR and TimeShift operation of this receiver is very suitable. Operation and settings are easy to accomplish through the clear menu. All in all a quite recommendable device, if one is looking for a pure free-TV receiver.
