To the device itself:
The image quality is fantastic, the integrated satellite tuner is a noticeably better picture than the receiver via HDMI connected. The sound quality is decent, Soundbar or AV receiver is but recommended for improvement.
If shipments will record and want to simultaneously watch something else, however, is with built Twin recommended tuner or an external device with me a Samsung twin receiver BluRay Combo BD-E8509S 3D Twin receiver a device.
** View cable and satellite on record or vice versa is not possible **
However, can be seen with an external device via HDMI while recording.
Shortcoming here is the external hard drive to the TV can be read by any PC, uses a proprietary disk format which is not recognized on the PC, so no UNIX EXT3 etc. Consequently, no recordings can be exported, what me the LG has also confirmed support.
Another shortcoming is that scheduled recordings that are changed only 1 minute of time to have actually taken up the mission, instead of stored titled with "No Information". Went earlier flawlessly with my Topfield TF5000PVR. Too bad.
The operation is self-explanatory. Compared to eg Grundig, the machine moves up quickly and the switching processes go Ruck Zuck.
One shortcoming, however, even with Samsung, is really cumbersome station sorting. When the mass is coming in via satellite really a piece of work.
Good tip, take the software Chansort, is freeware. Thus, the channel list can be easily sort on the PC and load them into the machine. Genial!
However, that does not work with the Magic Remote Control, for this you need eg a Harmony One in the Service Menu to access. Why LG makes so complicated I do not understand because Samsung has designed the easy through the menu guidance.
One can in this service menu but also destroy everything, because what all is to make technical adjustments to be seen then. So be careful!
A good guide can be found here: [...]
The Magic Remote Control is really awesome in principle. It can be everything intuitively control how the PC with the mouse. However, where there is light and shadow is ..!
On a right to switch it works program "paint" only on the screen. The TV detects the digit and then switches over. Is mE faster with keyboard.
But what I find a shame, and there's more Samsung - the device has a voice recognition that even works pretty well. The spoken is however sought on the Internet. Switch by voice or other inputs auzuwählen not working. Too bad, that has also confirmed to me the LG Support.
Samsung advertises that it works with their equipment.
However, coming back firmware updates - possibly that is not implemented.
As such you can for what the device does not complain. Delivery by Amazon worked via forwarding 1a. Notice in advance by telephone on agreed time frame and again about 1 hour ago. The men were very friendly and engaged in the delivery. Thanks a lot for this.
