I have the Dyon Condor now for several weeks in operation and I am mostly satisfied. Right at the beginning came to a spot of trouble, because the manual has failed extremely tiny, that the pictured screen-shots can be seen only with a magnifying glass. But he who is a little bit technical. Has understanding, also comes without them cope quite well. The settings to be made are more or less self-explanatory. The main selling point, however, was indeed the hard drive to be connected, because he told me yes to replace the VCR. For this purpose even a small negative point: it recognizes my hard drive (s) only when the receiver is on and I only then the hard drive connected to the grid connect. In addition, you should rename the recorded programs on the PC (movies) as soon as possible, since this is not possible on the receiver even after shooting. Also, I've not found a way to give me the transmitter instead provided in the channel display with individual program numbers, but maybe someone here has a tip for me so times ;-) Otherwise, I'm pretty satisfied with the device, because now I can finally see my spellbound to disk movies easily and clearly on TV. As a side note it should be mentioned that, for example, the possibility exists in onlinetvrecorder.de, also overlapping films (as holidays often been the case) and to this can be relatively easily capture to disk. All in all, compared to expensive hard disk recorders mE an almost unbeatable price-performance ratio.
