Commissioning is done very simply and in 5 minutes. Using Barcode Reader on my Smartphone Samsung Galaxy K Zoom with the operating system Android 4.4 is called the link to the required app PadTV, and the download is initiated. Here, I'll even note that I can not install the app, since installations outside the Google Play stores are not allowed - and get the same time the possibility to allow an exception for this app. Comfortable it is really no longer. Is then provided with a handle on the supplied antenna DVB-T receiver attached, which is simply plugged into the Micro-USB connector. (Installation on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 ran as quickly and smoothly.) The receiver is very handy and protrudes just 3.5 cm from my smartphone out. For this purpose come more nearly 7 cm inserted telescopic antenna.
The app asks if it should use the device to the USB port and functioning properly after affirmation. The tuning delivers right away only four channels of a channel. Other transmitter scans that I carried out in the garden, finally handed over the little antenna all channels of the three available channels, as well as five French stations of which only 10 km from France.
The app is simple, clear, easy to use and meets our requirements perfectly. The stations found will be displayed in a list that you can sort by your own preferences. Furthermore, you can record with the app, or time shift with the Timeshift function - here it is even possible to individually adjust the Timeshift buffer in minutes, or storage capacity.
The reception inside our apartment is in a channel in order, others I can not receive interference only in the garden, although the reception lt. Reception forecast should be possible via antenna. An adapter for connection to a stronger antenna is included, but I can not test, because we usually receive television via satellite. In the tablet the image jerky a little, on your smartphone, it runs flawlessly. Recording or pausing during a broadcast and continue watching later are not a problem. I look at a record on the tablet, the screen runs smoothly here. Striking I find that the receiver is quite hot during operation, but also after 1 1/2 hours no effect on its functioning. However, one should note the increased battery consumption of smartphones / tablets.
From the reception of available stations we expected a little more at home. But mobile TV in the garden or on the road of Xoro HRT 1100 DVB-T is well suited.
