Personally for me weighs but another way at least equal weight: You can really take up disk on each (also old) without these would be formatted by the TV and thus rendered useless for any other applications. The recordings obtained in this way can be played back on any other suitable device technish household (or edit), which is possible when recording on a connected directly to the TV USB HDD NOT. Attention: This must not be a super-hard drives, it do the old hard disks from the cannibalized PC, which can be redefined via an adapter for external USB Festpaltte. No USB 3.0 required!
What is a total and how to do it, I have a step-by-step instructions found in the test magazine consumer. It leads to:
"Broadcasts record even if your TV can not do that.
After all, almost one third of all equipment from our current test: TVs 1/2015 provides no integrated solution for
(More) on.
Take a look and a different view at the same time.
This can hardly a TV, "twin" and "Triple-Tuner" or not. This would require at least a double tuner,
So two tuners for the same type of signal: satellite, cable or terrestrially (terrestrial) reception. In the latest test has
only one specimen have amenity.
Broadcasts on USB media record without this make it unusable for other purposes.
The limitless customer friendliness of manufacturers require special formatting the USB recording media that they
for alternating use on other devices set (about at the PC) incapacitated. If you want it back, and with
use this, they need to be formatted again, all recordings will be lost.
Can view records on different apparatuses.
About the TV recorded programs can usually reproduced namely only to this specific device
become. Even a second TV of the same type does not work for it.
Recorded edit (remove advertising z. B., edit hard facts) and permanently archived.
Since storage media are specially formatted for direct recording from the TV, you can Windows and Apple computers
read without software or hardware detours, the records thus not be processed or to another
Storage media are saved. If the recording medium used full, older recordings must be deleted.
Pause and time shift function use, even if the TV can not do that.
Someday favorite children of Advertising, permitted in the current TV test not more than one-third of the candidates
Pausing or the time-shifted playback of programs. "

So I am - especially for the price - almost completely satisfied. A star deduction there is that the image sometimes becomes black for a second or two when the advertising is or this is finished. But this also has its advantages: you can see the finishing better, where you have to cut, default is not. Tip: On the homepage XORO there is a link to an extended 60-day trial version of editing software, which recognizes the advertising blocks pretty well independently.
Also according to the description should actually the recording format can be selected to be (ie, can be recorded as HD broadcasts in space-saving standard format) that I have but have not yet managed. It is always recorded in the broadcast format. Thus one can live.
Bottom line: Strong buy recommendation from me.
