As a replacement for a DVD hard disk recorder I bought the XORO 7560 in order to take on an external hard drive and watch the movies later on television. * First, the channel search did not find all the channels unencrypted offered in Unitymedia cable. After replacing the old coax antenna cable first used (not supplied) succeeded the then completely and without any problems, so it was not a fault: For digital and HD recordings provide a decent antenna cable is required - old pooch not suck well. * With an external 300GB 2.5 "hard drive (power via USB from the Xoro) and a 500GB 3.5" HDD with its own power supply succeed very good shots, that except on TV and on the computer (eg with the program VLC) can be played and there burned to DVD. * Two tried 2 TB and 3 TB drives with external power supply, however, could not be addressed; at the Xoro hung on and could be set in motion only after unplugging the power cord again. On the other hand rich 500GB completely for many movies - complete hard disk recorders have 180 GB to 500 GB capacity; only now is the first device with 1TB drive on the market. * Program selection, channel sorting (using the remote control - an export channel list at-stick is not possible, but not necessary), timer recording and playback easy and good work. Overall, an adequate substitute for a hard disk recorder. Although the HDMI cable, an external hard drive and a DVD player must be procured separately, the total price is far below the cable-compatible HD suitable DVD-HDD recorder and the operation of all devices is not more difficult than that of the recorder. This one has more flexibility, possibility of transfer to the computer and the failure of a device needs only the part in question to be replaced. If the the old hard disk recorder due to a control problem when DVD part also stored on the films were gone and no longer be saved, despite expansion of hard drive and connecting to the PC.
