- Connecting was very simple and all programs were having to hire immediately available without doing anything.
- The receiver is absolutely tiny, but has only one Scart, - and a satellite dish. Despite the inexplicable to me on the package: "versatile connections make this device a multifunction device" ...?
- The picture is clear, however, not suitable for HD reception (which I personally do not need)
- Practically, of course, first, the EPG Fuktion, with which you can call up all program information quickly, but in my opinion does not replace TV-newspaper. Because a general problem with the receiver EPG is the EPG information itself are very informationskarg, often faulty or incorrectly. If the title of a film, for example, is too long can it in the EPG window does not read the movie "Solo Album" is supposedly an American film and from FSK 18, other movies like SAW have loud EPG eg no G etc. But this is a general problem and is not at the individual receivers. So if you want precise information about films / series etc. still need a magazine or even the Internet.
- Is less convenient that Fernbediehnung responds only to a very limited and therefore only certain radius. If one stands in front of it directly and the correct angle has, then does the switching, but rather slow. In addition, the remote control is small arg. Switching was more and more difficult for the time, in spite of new batteries.
- The thing about the LED light on the receiver, however, is really a bit confusing and not very visible. In addition, the receiver does not turn off! If you press the "Power button" He goes out briefly and then back on immediately, no matter how pressing. To turn off the receiver sure I use the Sleep function of 10 minutes. But what really is a little shabby.
- An absolute minus point is that the fine-tuning of individual programs is not possible (research on the Internet helped me also do not end up on). A few programs have had problems receiving after a few days and could no longer be adjusted. Strangely, however, that in another room these programs work with another digital receiver. This strange transmitter disturbances are stronger on some days and on others less, some programs I can no longer receive, however. How far that still affects other channels I do not know. However, at the beginning I was able to receive all programs free of errors.
- Then comes equal to the next downside, as there is no proper guidance to help one a little through the menu settings, even if they are not difficult to grasp. Also on the manufacturer's site you will find any information.
Elderly people or people who simply have a hard time with such devices, this could evtuell have problems. Although less any connections, but simply with the operation. In addition, you just know without a guide not different options provided by a menu and how to adjust, for example, a favorite list or the program retrieves information in detail.
Here, then, initiative or help is needed. Even though it is a Quick Start Guide in, but this clears up only superficially on.
I have to replace my old analog receivers due to the digitization and not because of a defect, my willingness to pay is not very high and the OPTICUM FS10p absolutely sufficient if you just want to receive only a clear picture when because even operate all programs really.
Very durable seems this not to be, because the quality of reception took off after a few months.
