I like to refer to the software or the service here.
First, the remote control:
The remote control is in comparison to other devices "ok", have since seen a lot worse.
It is only moderately well in hand, not least because the batteries are housed in front and therefore forward a preponderance exists.
It can be difficult to "blind" use, because the buttons are almost all identical in shape and spacing to uniformly.
The "pad" is of little use, neither can thus programs still turn forward or rewind during video playback. It has only a menu function, too bad! Especially for blind use (in the dark) the D-pad is ideal to use.
EPG:
The EPG is not well managed. Why can not I watch the current program continues while I look the next Flm the EPG? Once I change the channel in the EPG, and the program is switched.
Here there is also an annoying software errors: If you open the EPG, the complete picture of the current program displayed reduced top left as soon as you will but switches there only a fraction of the image displayed, so this "preview" keinerleit benefit has more.
VCR / Media:
Again, the pad can not be used to forward or rewind, but you have to use the separten (very small) buttons.
You can not just hold down the rewind button and then release it at the appropriate place, instead you switched with any operation of the knob the Spulgeschwindiwgkeit of 2x-4x-8x-16x-32x to. If you want to have to rewind a few minutes to complete, for example, 4 times the button pressing (16x) and then coil at an appropriate point the play button to which you so. Usually you have spooled something too far and then you have to fast forward again, which again is then just as annoying. Incidentally 32x speed is still too slow to fast eg 30 minutes then it takes 1 minute real time. Fortunately, there is the possibility to enter a time to which you want to fast forward.
In general, the buttons for coils, Play, Pause etc, only difficult to operate because they are mounted at the bottom and by the battery assembly that obesity is forward too large. In addition, the buttons are too small and too close together attached. In practice, you have to either use both hands and have enough light or expect frequent misuse.
Sorting channels:
In short, a nightmare!
You can not rearrange channels.
You can not add a station somewhere in the middle.
You can not delete stations.
You can not edit the channel list on the PC as with other manufacturers.
As a "workaround" to Hisense has devised the "favorites list". There you can add single channels to a list and then switch the "Channel List" in this favorites list. The effec is that you can now only has this restricted list, both when switching, as well as the EPG etc.
The order of stations can also be here not change your mind when adding stations one must therefore consider beforehand the order in which they should appear in the station list.
The biggest problem in addition to the facility: The favorite lists "destroy" over time by itself!
Did you ARD ZDF RTL as a list, the list for minutes or even only a few days (ie twice ZDF) changes for no apparent reason on ARD-ZDF ZDF RTL. As a result, the TV refused the operation, you can not switch from ZDF on RTL, even through multiple clicking. (Workaround: via the EPG, it still works)
One can list no longer repair, but you have to create a completely new list.
One could get the idea to copy the transmitter from one list to the other, but unfortunately single transmitter can then not be taken for no apparent reason, but you have to select with hundreds transmitters back on the entire TV list.
Smaller software defects:
If you want to increase the volume when cable TV, you have to press the button twice. The first time appears only the display of the current volume, only the second time the volume increases by 1. If you look at a video, the same Lautsträke increased by 1.
"Press and hold" the volume button you can practically hardly use, since in 1 second increases the volume equal to 10 to 20 levels.
Chance of the software depends on, then you can the television about 1 minute no longer operate and sometimes it turns itself off and then restarts.
However, apart from the operator, the price / performance ratio very good.
Integrated WLAN, DLNA, etc. SmartTV offer other manufacturers only in premium models for multiple price of this equipment. And even then, the operation is also there often questionable.
Bottom line, I can therefore only just give a limited recommendation to buy, but you should be aware of the defects.
