If the HD recording works, picture and sound quality are top. But functioning HD recordings are unfortunately the exception rather than the rule (despite switched youth protection barrier). Has the recording work times, you will be annoyed when watching through constant blackouts (glitches). This works best recording on Sky, but is also very unreliable in series. Lt. Statement of Sky to the new smart cards in 2015 but no longer function. The constant software updates constantly change the program positions and Müllen personal program list with countless Internet programs. I'm just tired of this (way too expensive) device. From a German manufacturer, I expect functioning hardware and software. Otherwise I can buy a cheap product from Asia still the same.
