Quite an alternative

After about 5 months with the Sagemcom crate of KD I switched completely unnerved about this device.
Have tested the operation and detail the Sagemcom Cable 500GB is approximately 1 month.
The functions of the Sagemcom (TVTV Version KD), 4 tuners etc. were better than this Humax device in my view by far.
I was, however, only important that my future there is constant crashes and must be sent to the Support.
Until then I had a crash in the month, so I can live. The TVTV version currently I find rotten,
ARD HD and other channels will not be supportive of them. That is to get program information, you must tune to the station on
switch and take advantage of the normal EPG. Should probably be improved in the near future with a firmware update.
Currently, it is so that images with TVTV are sometimes not recorded. Of this report, other users, is once again at the firmware (alternative should be the timer).

What were those times, were sold as units and just functioned without firmware updates.

The advantages of this device are, in my view, a nice large display on the device. The media libraries of ARD / ZDF / Youtube, etc. I find class, an absolute value in my view.
HD should not be expected, but a good SD quality is fine for me (which is not at the device).
Sky can be recorded without any problems, at least if you do not have to use the CI + slot.
Device is KD certified, so you in the future so that (probably) on the safe side.

Normally I do not write recessions. I would imagine that there are other Sagemcom fellow sufferers, which helps my report when deciding.

My conclusion: Until now, a quite useful and all in one a well-functioning machine.
Should there be no reasonable permanently TVTV version, then this device would be for me but a flop device.
I know currently priced no alternative. It remains a strange aftertaste, which benefits one of them that the other is even worse.

However, in my knowledge Humax appear much more often than with Firmware Updates Sagemcom. Hope dies last.

Addendum 07.17.2013: The hope died. Still fierce bug in the firmware (Switch on, image is black after a short time, so at first on TVPortal and then exit), TVTV absolute junk. On a solution of the many problems Humax lt for many months. Working hard, but an update was not and will not come to my mind. Humax is the error to even, at least they are honest in the point. Indictment.
