Such a device lives of the software which realizes the functions (firmware). Since the device has come onto the market, there are about 14 (!) Updates. One might think that this is yet great, but it can detect the manufacturer's willingness to clean up errors. That may be true in fact, but unfortunately it seems COMAG not get added. Although each firmware tries to correct an error, this is subject to other new error or old, already done believed error reappear.
The currently most current version (4.0.1, also called E6) to allow HD + support. This works well, but unfortunately you have to live with the restriction that recordings in general (at HD + there anyway restrictions) for all other channels do not function properly or old recordings will be erased! In order for the PVR function has become unusable. The error has been known for months, only COMAG not budge. In previous versions, there was probably no problems, but many others who of course in the current version may not "be missing" (currently I'm back on the "E86", although + does not support HD, but "the firmware with the fewest blunders "is):
- EPG sucks, only occasionally dive shipment information on which can even my Noname 30 Satreceiver better ...
- The image quality (via HDMI) will vary from firmware version to firmware version in the standard image (SD) and HD-image, among other things because the receiver has a say when upscaling particular of SD material, but apparently even with the brightness and contrast and other boundary values
- Especially, but not only, in HD broadcasts, there is the - sometimes more, sometimes less, but so far not fundamentally solved - problem of lack of synchronicity of image and sound!
- PVR function occasionally when it works at all, quirks - time the program is recorded under the false name, sometimes allows changing channels on a transmitter of another transponder, whereby the recording breaks off without notice, sometimes function timer recordings can not be reliably
these are just the TOP-error, for the rest of the space is lacking here. Who wants to get a picture of this receiver and other COMAG products, should rather not "official" Read Reviews (unclear to me how some magazines "test"), but look for the unofficial support forum ... COMAG will not come into my bag ..
Price or not, if basic functions are not run, even paid 10 too much. Other providers like Edision also pretty daughters and have support and firmware significantly better control without having to pay hundreds of euros equal.
