Good allround receiver

The receiver provides a good picture and sound quality, has relatively fast switching times and a very successful menu. It is also worth the Editorially enhanced EPG (Electronic Program Guide) with the name SFI, which also supports some stations that do not broadcast their program data itself. The remote is clear and fits comfortably in your hand. The device has two Scart outputs, RCA, 2x digital audio (optical / electrical). The reception characteristics are not better or worse than the other receivers that I already had (Samsung, d-box I and II).

I personally have the MTV package subscribed to the appropriate smart card is the receiver already in and just needs to be unlocked for a fee. The built-in decoder (Conax / Cryptoworks) is responsible for the decryption, you need the card so only to push into the slot. Furthermore, even a smart card for the pay-TV offer Easy.tv settled that I have not subscribed. Also the equipment for the new season of the German League is likely to be encrypted in Cryptoworks Arena.

Premiere can with the built-in decoder not decrypt (another encryption system Nagravision), however, the receiver has a slot for CI modules (additional decoder for inserting). Note: The original premiere module is not usable because the receiver does not officially zertifiziet of Premiere. However, you can get a Alphacrpyt Light module get that about 50 costs and thus it goes and one on top of that can disable the often annoying Jegendschutz PIN entry, if the household has no children living. Unfortunately, the module stands out on the left side of the receiver, which looks quite ugly.
