I have long wondered whether I should buy this device. According to the reviews that have been posted, you could still doubt. I had the opportunity to see before a receiver of LG and Panasonic. So I ordered one anyway, and I regret it not to have done. It is true that the software in many respects is frumpy. A bit of getting used to. But where do you find an ideal versions. LG and Panasonic have with their devices from other quirks. So that is probably that each manufacturer has different ways of its programming. Calmly I approached to deal with the device. The stations are stored according to their hierarchy. The make the devices from other manufacturers as well. You have to sort. When I had found the right way how it works, everything went quickly equip. Many will complains that when programming via EPG, if a program the end of the film is missing. That's right. And annoyed me also. So I went to the Schedule Manager and have programmed manually. The recording time simply extended it at no title is specified. But please do not disturb it! If the recording is finished, everything appears properly in the folder for captured movies! Who would have thought. So it works yet. HbbTV had his muck. It did not work. Seen ships with this feature is not enabled! It took some time to figure out which. But when I had the settings activated the corresponding function everything worked. It was a pure joy. DVDs and Blu-ray can be played. Also pictures. The picture quality is good. Not too spicy but just right. Because my TV is also available in Samsung, I use only one remote control. Even that's great. In retrospect, I'm glad to have it decided for Samsung. I can only express a purchase recommendation.
