after spontaneous bad buy a cheap HD + receiver (at Saturn to my new Sony LCD, yesterday exchanged again) I'm looking for the TechniSat s1 TechniStar decided. equal and connected by a seemingly endless software update finally ready. TechniSat preset typical neat - only the program list adapted (the HD programs are well hidden from the way the seats 450 ...) and immediately gets enthusiasm around! finally back quickly zap (HD - SD programs somewhat delayed, but worlds faster than the scrap-hd + rceiver) and enjoy a bomb image. via the HDMI-CEC function can be the S1 with the TV off and on, but unfortunately did not switch on the remote control of my Sony Bravia LCD. a Kingston 16GB USB Stick he recognized immediately and stores without any delay SD and HD programs and play them back from loss. EPG is typical TechniSat also at its best and can be easily programmed (PVR times quite easy, can the konkurenz times a page from their book). All in all a great device at a reasonable price, I would recommend anyone (who once had a TechniSat receiver, will take nothing else anyway: o)
