ideal as a second appliance

I use the Sigma 24 as a second unit in the office because I did not want to additionally install a satellite receiver to me there. The DVB-T receiver and DVD player are an extra that I really did not want to use primarily, but makes perfect sense (but I would not miss).
The advantage of DVB-T receiver, however (in the presence of a house antenna) the saving of a second ORF card! The inclusion of a CI module would be available: tested with Sky (Nagra A02 card in real Alphacrypt light) and satisfied - everything works.
HD reception is available (tested with ORF 1 HD, ZDF HD) and shines with excellent image quality; much better than its smaller brother "Gamma 24" is the image of the SD reception: better not kanns my Samsung Series 6.
The LED backlight ensures minimum power consumption and barely existing weight: up good and stable! - A slight rubbing enough and it follows the laws of gravity.

The USB ports, HDMI, SCART, Composite and Component I have not tested, because I have no use for it (is already installed everything what I need). Thanks to DVI and VGA socket of the TV can also be used as a PC monitor.

A little weak, the sound - even a touch weaker than when flat devices usual - and no way to connect external speakers (such as powered speakers from the PC). Neither Kopfhöhrer- still Chincha circuit exists - whether via the Scart something is tap off, I do not know - will retrofit a connection probably after the Garnatiezeit. But for the time being it was enough for the office, for it is merely a second device; nevertheless: 1 star deduction.

It would be desirable also a favorites list (ie DVB-T, analog TV and DVB-S) contains all channels - namely it must be switched manually between the receiving parts in order to use the corresponding sender list. An automatic changeover from a "Total List" would certainly be practical and purely software technically feasible.

In this price range but the unit is certainly unbeatable.
