Sogno SGNST Spark Triple Linux Full HD Hybrid Tuner Satellite Receiver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Already have an Sogno Spark Revolution and an identical Golden Media Reloaded.
The Spark operating system works stable and sufficient but if you just want to television the surface looks very old-fashioned.
With E2 Image you have many options as regards additional plugins, but the hardware is (both Triplex 540MHz and the somewhat slower Revolution / Reloaded with 450MHz CPU) since then is too slow for my liking to their limits and the receiver on inputs , In addition, you may ever seen a green screen (GUI restart) get with the use of various plugins.
If there is to be an enigma image, I recommend AR-P or OpenATV because the still running acceptable liquid.

To some pointed and stable running NeutrinoHD: Modern, customizable user interface with various plugins (though less than under E2). Especially the playback of video material from the server and / or NAS works compared with various E2 plugins as simple and fast as you can only imagine. Do not have a TV or Blurayplayer seen navigating as fast through folder lists, plays movies and easily forward and rewind as well as jumps through time input to a specific location and all previously tested formats and codecs (except HEVC / X265 but this one simply needs more computing power ) reproduces in full HD via LAN.
There WebTV lists but unfortunately (still) no plugin as MediaPortal (often called E2 killer feature).
One can by yWeb (Firefox and VLC plugin) to get the image on the computer and on your PC TV (also works on E2 well).
Recording an HD transmitter to a USB drive I once tested and there were no problems.
Unfortunately, it came when recording on a network share in HD channels sometime to image defects so that the recordings were unusable. Of course, much more is possible but first here is too long and secondly, may also be named anything.

Have only one satellite tuner in operation, therefore I can not give information about the functions and multi-tuner DVB-C / T.
The product data are here, incidentally, is currently wrong: there are course 2 DVBS tuner.
The Triple I have taken due to the Alphanumeric VFD display and front USB and 2 Conax card reader (compared to the revolution).

What you should be aware: without some basic knowledge of IT is not to try necessarily to it (E2 / neutrino) or not at least give the receivers for the debt. The hardware is functioning properly under Spark and is worth the money.
For price / performance monster, the receiver is only with appropriate software and know-how!
