A star gets the device for the price, but it will show over time more and more problems:
- Firmware is very unstable (both the current "stable" and the last beta), this guide to frequent
freeze (remote unresponsive) and it helps only power and again
- Recordings are often incorrectly called, sometimes only the sender, from time to time even the false sender name
- Recently, the receiver maintains at 2 different external hard drives (NTFS) not be able to absorb,
because the memory is full (180 GB free space should be enough already, the free memory is also the
Receiver themselves to). The forum is only noted chkdsk to run (only successful in the short term)
- At times, only one input has been detected, although two cables are connected, on the other receiver
problem-free operation. After several restarts and reset to factory settings it was eventually
again.
- Support requests via e-mail were not answered, phone support still unreachable
Too bad, it could have been so nice ...
Old review:
I have bought myself the unit, as my old receiver (Comag PVR 2 (SD)) slowly but surely gave up the ghost.
Therefore, I used the Comag as reference:
(+) Price / performance ratio (have otherwise found for this price no comparable twin tuner)
(+) Terminal and Initial Device without problems
(0) Operating convenience (Comag I found something more intuitive, but you get used to it)
(-) Long boot time (from the start of the receiver until the TV screen as it takes a relatively long)
(-) Timer recording and management could be more convenient (for example, the naming of the recordings have been incomplete, for example, only the channel as a name, but can be renamed manually)
I bought the receiver with a CI + module and an HD + card (seen subsequently not essential) and initially had a few problems with the interaction (but mind was not on the receiver); And I have made the following support experience:
(-) Phone support, despite countless attempts unreachable and after 5 minutes I flew every time from hold
(+) Support via email was quick and I got immediately the right tip!
Bin largely satisfied, hopefully improved a little on the firmware and the operating comfort.
