HDTV satellite receiver USB Micro M160HD

Customer Review

Months ago, three I bought the receiver, because he Datasheet ago and the size of the housing very appealed to me. From the outset, I am plagued by the constantly occurring problems of half-baked software. To name a few errors, which you have to fight:

- EPG has virtually a total loss. Rarely, the EPG is ever built, and if so, usually incomplete.
- Tonproblem 1. When switching to a DD transmitters there are loud scratching noises.
- Tonproblem 2. Most of HD broadcasts, there are significant LipSync problems. Since then helps only programs back and forth.
- Tonproblem 3. Most of HD broadcasts and AC3. Suddenly every note is played an octave lower. And again helps back and forth only programs.
- Tonproblem 4. Large volume difference between DD and stereo. You have to constantly readjust the volume.
- Receiver will sometimes simply re saying.
- Switching on HD channels is too long.
- If you record a program most of the titles of the previous program will be used as a broadcast name.
- Cumbersome station sorting.
- After a timer recording, the station list is reset to the default list, so you always have to select his favorites again.

Virtually all problems are and have also not resolved despite several new firmware versions. An inquiry to the micro-support revealed to my surprise, pointing out that currently no solutions would be available for the problems and should I contact regarding shareholder complaints to the Comag support. From there, I have unfortunately not received any response to my email request so far. The Micro M160HD is equivalent to Comag HD90 and the firmware is probably created by Comag, hence the reference to Comag.de.

In the current version of the device is in any case to use largely useless and only with frustration. It is quite strange that again an unfinished machine is sold to the end user for debugging and the manufacturer worth bothering cares to examine the software in advance for functionality.

Quintessence:
A good in principle device with atrocious firmware, good facilities and very good image quality.

+ Small size
+ Reasonable price
+ Very good image quality in SD and HD
+ Good sound quality (in DD)
+ Very good recording quality
+ Equipment

- Bad firmware
- So far few and unsuccessful updates
- Too many annoying errors
- Channel sorting cumbersome and slow
- Not cut way for recordings
- Menus confusing
