Unfortunately, the interfaces of the hard disk from the software manufacturer DISABLED and only by means of a special hard drive (there are at an inflated price to purchase at Sky) are operated. Then the receiver is so programmed that you have to watch the program z. B. within a week, otherwise it is re-encrypted and permanently unusable. . This is for example the Clarke-Tech HD 5100 receiver not so (do I attach any hard disk or USB memory, I can then copy immediately to the PC and burn a DVD - completely uncomplicated).
Furthermore, it is a pity that you can not disable Parental Controls z. B. with Sky Crimi with this receiver (for lack of children has no sense), that is the Clarke-Tech HD 5100 receiver (up to Sexkanäle because I find It really makes sense if times randomly visit there). So switch every time you type the 4-digit code ... I'm going insane.
Furthermore, the transmitter places of Sky can (start at 100) in this Humax PR HD 3000 receiver does not move.
If someone already such a model (Humax PR HD 3000) and has just a second unit would set up in another room, he is absolutely right with this receiver and should buy him (together with a second card of Sky).
If you want more, you should buy another receiver, like me. Would rather pay more and for unrestricted use.
Supplement: Sky has generated on the card new key, now I can use my alternate receiver (Clarke-Tech HD 5100) does not look more Sky - until I put the Sky card back into the Humax PR HD 3000 receiver, then is the key downloaded and I can watch on my Clarke-Tech HD 5100 receiver again. More depending on equipment there really is not, so you are forced to keep this thing and down from the attic from time to time to fetch hineinzustecken for about 20 minutes his Sky card, so that the board continues to operate (so as every 3 months times). This customer service I do not well, so again 1 star deduction!
