-Twin DVB-S Receiver
-internal HDD for recording, time shift etc.
-Netzwerkfunktionalität (TV recordings on the home network to stream)
CI + slot to Sky + HD and receive
LNB output to a TV signal to be looped through my TV (built-in DVB-S receiver in the TV, so you do not necessarily turn on the receiver)
-HbbTV Would be nice, but does not
-so things like HDMI, digital audio output, etc. I expect actually in all receivers that meet the above points
To date, I use an old Humax PDR iCord receiver of doing a good job and so had me brought this receiver mainly for 2 reasons that I miss with my Humax:
1) networking functionality (I want to be able to view recorded shows on your home network, for example, on a Samsung TV in Schlafzimmmer) - has not the PDR iCord.
2) Sky and HD + I would like to receive on a module other than the built-in order "not fast forward" to circumvent this outrageous restriction of at HD + (eventually I pay but for Sky and HD +, because I would like to at least coils!). - Sky / HD + card only runs in the installed smart card reader at PDR iCord.
Now when it comes to picture and sound quality of iCord Mini can not complain I guess, everything was great.
Menu / instalation also not an issue, everything very clear and self-explanatory.
HbbTV / HUMAX portal also works quite well and I have since played only fleetingly with.
It is a pity that you can not with a program can edit the channel list on the PC and then then can play on the receiver as in the normal iCord HD or even at Kathrein via USB again.
Sky and HD + were with the appropriate CI module together with Sky card also easily reproduced (had waived the supplied HD + card, since I as a Sky customer HD + with it have), also record a channel and watch another encrypted transmitter works without problems which is received then stored encrypted on your hard disk. Here then is a criticism on my part, because the picture is not like at Kathrein in stand-by mode is decoded, but only if you look at the Aufnahem where it is then a second stored time on the hard drive, then just stop decoded.
As for the network functionality but then I was very disappointed. The iCord is recognized throughout the network, however, the recordings can be played back on virtually nowhere. Initially, no shots on the net were even displayed, regardless of whether Sky / HD + or normal channels, and later some shots were not displayed by HD channels as available in the network, but only could my iPad start with the recordings partly what. On demand at Humax was told that the current halt so and I could only connect ne hard drive via USB to the iCord Mini, then there should copy it, the shots and the hard drive then the PC / TV or whatever could always connect. That makes no sense for me but because I bracuhe then no DLNA receiver! Maybe / hopefully as rectified in the future via software.
Due to the miserable network functionality I have the receiver will also be returned because that was my main desire / is.
After I made a bad experience already with the Kathrein UFS923 falls, what (m) As a request receiver, me only the Technisat ISIO S Digicorder which will, however, get here and more marbled reviews.
Maybe I just have to wait until the end of the year, when the software of the device was improved in line, who knows?!?
If someone has a receiver / know who fulfills my wishes I would be very grateful for a feedback !!!
