Kathrein UFS 922 SI Digital satellite receiver with hard drive 500 GB (HDTV, twin tuner, CI terminal, infrared remote control, USB 2.0) Silver (Electronics)
I bought the Kathrein UFS922 because the described features exactly correspond to what I imagined for a satellite receiver in the living room. Watch TV while recording a different program, maybe two at the same time, listen to MP3 from USB stick and if I want to file a movie times, these draw via LAN to my PC and edit it there and burn. The TVTV program guide is great and a nice addition. If the "Kathi" is running, it makes this also everything to my satisfaction. BUT: The first delivered by Amazon device was unfortunately used and probably returned because fan and hard disk made a hellish noise. The good customer service from Amazon, however, has sent a new device immediately in exchange me. This is much quieter, but I am still glad that I (500 U / min) sitting away watching television about 5 meters from the fan, as it is not super quiet. The joy of the new unit did not last long, as the front display is scrambled, the recording schedule was suddenly empty, the device did not respond to the remote control. After calling Kathrein service I was told that there is a defect (defective components in certain series seem to be well known there) and I will send the device. After about 3 weeks I got the machine back repaired and since then had only an error when playing a recording. I can recommend the receiver only conditionally, but the performance of its competitors have similar teething. Either one sees oneself as a beta tester or you still waiting for some time with the purchase of an HDTV HD satellite receiver.
