After numerous test reports and read customer reviews, I decided for the Telestart. The device really does make a good impression. Picture and sound quality are very good. The switching times are okay, with HD channels a bit longer, but that is perfectly normal and acceptable. The receiver after 3 hours "do not use" auto shut off, I find great. The time you can also customize the way. My External 1GB hard drive for recording has been properly recognized and has always recorded without any problems (except HD channels). So I can recommend the receiver and the remote control very. My unit was defective unfortunately after a few days. Sound skips over 5.1 and a black / white image via Scart was not that great. At Amazon, however, no problem. I immediately get my money back and brought me the Technisat HD +. The device is 100% tig identical, same menu's, same display ........ only 20-30 euros cheaper !!!
