Obviously, all manufacturers of TV Hitec products are on calibrated to the users in Germany has cable connection, because the connection to a digital satellite receiver and the fact that there are so z. B. no tuning (seek AV setting) , only cryptic or not mentioned at all. Satellite users are first parked quite "naked": functioning does it at the end, but only attempt makes makes you smart!
The Sony has provided an EPG (Electronic Programme Guide). The is of Guide Plus and sets Cable, or a Guide Plus compatible satellite receiver ahead. My TechniSat has EPG but no GUIDE Plus, and also on demand at the TechniSat service hotline is, the not booked. Ie. No EPG the recorder. Okay not so bad. However, there are, according to research, also no prescriptive list of receivers that work with Guide Plus. So depending on the receiver, can go, can not go.
If you have the basic functions finally under control, actually only two things fall to negative. First, there is no continuous "Exit" function. In the processing routine it is completely absent and you have to completely get out again if z. B. times made a mistake when they are pressed. Secondly, the list of recorded programs captures the highlighted program in the preview immediately to blare. Stop or pause, or a separate start function because there's not.
Split for camcorder etc. I must let the outside before, because that did and I do not need. Unfortunately, the USB access is only one way from the stick, etc. into the recorder. Upload recorded shows reversed on the PC in order to edit it there, do not go. I had diesbzgl. the Sony hotline demand before buying. They promised to take care and report. Then I'm still waiting, and probably for all eternity.
3 stars that the equipment if you have it grasped times, stable running, actually it should be but just 2.5 stars because the usability for gasoline Normalverbaucher is lousy.
