Finally a great SD picture!

After I finally switched from "tube" on the Sony KDL-40EX505 and the Sony BDP-S760, at first I was shocked by the poor image representation of the regular TV channels (SD-Picture / Standard Definition). The problem was because of what I had already suspected that my cable Germany & Sky receiver of the brand "TECHNISAT cable NCI" was associated with a Scart connector to the LCD. Such poor images you actually can expect only bad tube televisions from 80'igern.
Thus I have decided after a lot of thinking for the HUMAX. Since he was initially not immediately available, I was able to deal with long Pros & Cons opinions. The problem is that cable users have relatively little choice to come to a selection of HD receivers!
Well finally arrived, I am overwhelmed by processing and program management of the Humax. Above all, however, and I was in the first place important to purchase decisions, the SD picture is unsurpassed world-class. Although one should know that the decisive source is always the transmitter itself. The costs are so far still too high to radiate the broadcasters to all channels in HD. Thus, the offer of free TV channels so far limited only to three: ARD HD, ZDF HD, Arte HD.
Furthermore, the PR-200C HD scaled to the regular SD picture on commonly 750i.
The EPG is designed in my view excellent and always up to date - unlike other recessions.

I left the factory setting and the Humax connected by Amazon Basic's HDMI on Sony. The firmware of the device is still on 18/11/2009 with the version number 1:00:10.

Overpriced equipment from TechniSat belong to me for the past. The selected by me Humax has the No. 1 on the zZt for me. available HD receiver won.
