Customer Review

I have the iCord Cable gained as a replacement for my Technisat HD K2, because I wanted to access libraries.
So far so good.
Unwrapped, connect, station search.
First, only those channels are displayed that are available in the cable network of Kabel Germany. But I'm not.
So all channels searched and moved manually. One can enter the Order no channel number on which you want to have it, but have to scroll to the desired channel position appears and then put him there. A feature-length task.
EPG works ... not really. After switching on the EPG is empty. Only when you go to the channel, the EPG is filled.
There is no single view of the transmitter in the EPG.
The advertised tvtv is absent. Technical problems in the network of Kabel Germany to sen the reason. The Humax knew not before?
Option buttons for Sky not function.
The last two points are to be improved in Q1 or Q2 2012 via an update. Who knows Humax and the service, know that you can adapt to the end of Q2.
So one year after application of the product.
If a film of the internal hard disk moved to an external, the film is available only in stereo, but not in Dolby Digital. Humax alone knows why.
Maxdome is my opinion on the Humax slower than, for example. on my Samsung Blu-ray player. It takes forever until the film is "loaded" and starts.
Wireless goes with me only on WPA encryption. So, would go. I'm not ready to make my network more uncertain.
This is the update only via a LAN and not wireless, I fin ok per se. WLAN can break and therefore scrap the box during the update.
There are of course good Punke as image handling, etc.
But all this does not outweigh the negative points on, unfortunately. I regret the purchase and am considering the box to re-sell.
The service from Humax is unfortunately under all .... Only Standard answers and consoling for the next update.
Here the customer is put off and abused as a test subject.
There is a receiver advertised (tvtv, use in all cable networks, Sky Option keys) that are simply not possible or faulty and incomplete.
Schade Humax. So you scared away customers

Update: 14:02:12
After yes at the last update more errors were recorded as Corrections, now everything works fine.
Humax has managed to easily update.
Hereby I can give a buy recommendation.
Why do I still forgive not 5 stars? The customer service from Humax is an absolute disaster.
A little tip to all those who can no longer put in standby the receiver since the official update:

Menu -> Settings -> System -> IP EPG -> update time -> desired time

Turn remote programming please Menu -> Settings -> System -> Setting a remote programming.

Please leave the unit for at least 30 minutes in standby.

If necessary, you should reset the receiver off to the factory default value. Menu -> Settings -> Installation ("0000") -> factory default

For me it has helped. The only question is, why not publish the Humax .....
Nevertheless, I am now satisfied.
