For this unit you need the electronic program guide of cable Germany to the recording of television programs can easily be programmed. This program guide is only available if you have a contract with cable Germany. But if you so into a contract, you get from cable Germany exactly this device as provided loaner. Conclusion: The purchase of this device does not make sense. From the product description which is not apparent, unfortunately, otherwise we would never have purchased it. So we returned it immediately, because without EPG programming is only manually without program preview possible and that's very awkward and uncomfortable.
