First of all: This is not a high-end product! Who expects a device for less than 40 EUR, which should be measured with a 150-EUR-device, is ill-advised. But: The device is small, light, simple. All features that it offers, without problems. It is super suitable as digital TV recorder, because the recording function is simple, and the hard disk is recognized in NTFS format (as opposed to my old Technisat S1, which accepted only FAT formatting). The effect is that movies can be recorded on the Hard disk as a file (also HD recording), instead of being divided as the Technisat S1 in multiple files. Is watching television on care, but when you burn your movies on the computer makes a difference. The start time is acceptable with a few seconds, and as a media player, it is also appropriate because it plays all major formats (see Format list in the description). Switching times are very short, the EPG is ok (but are definitely better, eg Technisat). In short: The machine can do everything, but everything only in broad terms. Comfort functions such as renaming the recordings on the device with one click, as well as lack of personalization or looking for MP3-tags. There support as Media Player Folder navigation, which I personally find great. A shaft for HD cards do not exist. HD reception is possible only from the programs that the free offer (ARD, ZDF, ARTE, 3 programs etc., not RTL HD, etc) The only annoying thing sometimes: The remote control must be directed exactly already on the device, otherwise it does not recognize it. You have to sometimes also press 2x ... This is definitely going to make it better. Oh well ... The device would cost EUR 150, there would be no more than 3 stars. But Here the price-performance ratio absolutely!
