First offense (already in other recessions mentioned)
known issue: Sort models not possible (as described in the working instructions nowhere!)
Reset device to factory settings or at the first turn on the following vote:
Query: ASTRA or full. Please select FULL here. Query: ASTRA, Sky, or no, please do not choose here. Then tick the Blind search and start the search.
Only now you can sort the services via Settings> Stations-order.
Second offense
During operation, the question is sometimes displayed if downloaded an update and will be installed automatically. If one decides for Yes this is done at 1:00 clock then also, but with about 8 seconds in which any sender can be heard loudly.
Expressed differently it is torn from its beautiful new television by 1 clock at night from sleep. Puzzled, one tries to fathom the source of the noise at that moment. So "out of bed" and stretched from the living room where the whole spook and everything is already over again quietly. After the third time "from sleep torn" the association was aware of the updates us. Since then we press in the update query to NO!
The response to the remote control is partially delayed somewhat, especially if one turns on the transmitter up. Others can do TV's better.
If you want to switch between DVB-S and DVB-T are 7 and 9 key strokes needed. Very awkward. However, the Quick View button changes, as long as the last program has just been received by the other tuner.
The SmartTV possibilities this device offers are after a short testing for us not really interesting. For people want to use the online video stores but certainly ok. The Internet (Google, YouTube ...) can be combined with a computer much easier "scour" (because mouse and real keyboard on the LG just missing).
In radio mode (radio stations via satellite), the screen should turn off and do not bounce the LG banners on the same. Speaking off - The unit has no power switch. Pull either standby or power plug.
Positive noticed:
USB Recording basically works fine. With us with a 500GB (USB 3.0) 2.5 "Toshiba hard drive which no extra power supply required. 10 minutes HD recording takes about 1.02 GB Place it. Thus then about 77 hours of recording are possible as well as a usable size 473GB display. That's enough "thick". Since only a single tuner is installed, can only be taken up a program and seen no other parallel. Oder TV out, Rec runs. goes well. The programming is done ideally via the TV Guide So the electronic program guide. However, no VPS or ShowView signal (if this überhaut still are) considered. The TV picture is "on time" turned off. For consignments the late start / end thus missing the final. So this makes in any further Recording manually correct (ie extend) the recording time needed. With editing the finished recordings can then arbitrarily cut (front & rear). However, the editing falls somewhat difficult, because its menu does not remain visible, and after a few seconds. no input disappears equal. Of course, on the remote control a Rec. To find key, recording the current broadcast immediately. The Timeshift function also works flawlessly. Once the TV is on, runs in the rest with the hard drive. Since therefore probably shortens the life of the HDD, we pull the USB connector when not in use from.
LG should the operation still revise, but USB Recording is a function of the very well likes.
Conclusion: a contemporary unit with lots of amenities. Good value for money. Menus and operation are however partially still capable of improvement.
