Customer Review

Introduction:
After the Humax iCord Evolution I am now landed at TechniSat. This little thing has a wide range of functions and a very good price. Should consider when buying but with schedule, which still follow-up costs for the full function erhalten.So you have to buy a hard drive to record to support. A USB wireless LAN stick must also be purchased. So it is therefore at about 100 euros you have to be reckoned with. But then you get a range of functions, which the Digicorder Isio S models is second to none.
The establishment:
For me as a Technisat beginners the initial setup is still been a little difficult. The right antenna and LNB settings I could find only with the help of the customer hotline. I have the Technisat TechniRouter and thus Unicable with 2 frequencies. I then several attempts needed to prove both tuners.
A bug I have found. In the keypad for entering Passwörten works control Kreutz left not, which makes it difficult to enter the passwords.

The device
Is really small and has a leicht.Es Dot Matrix Display, which is but a bit too small. from 3.5 meters I have difficulties to read. On the remote control buttons you are too small for me, especially at the D-pad around the risk of incorrect operation is large.
The SFI (EPG) menu I do not like so well since it first time only in the time bar indicates the current programs and what not then you have to resist kommt.Dafür another key = too cumbersome.
I have connected a used hard drive at the moment. And, surprise, surprise, it shows me the entire contents. Namely, it can read all kinds of file formats via the USB input. FAT32, TDS, NTFS, Ext3, HFS, HFS + are not a problem. To use the interface functions, but you should reformat in TDS (Technisat own format).
Who permanent Time shift is expected to be disappointed. There is no such fact. There is a Time Shift Light. If you press the Pause button, it begins to take and you can time shift TV. Permanent but does not run the mit.Wenn one example whim want to record a program completely, which is not subsequently. Here Technisat should make improvements and offer the option of a permanent time shift.
Now to the WLAN. I can only guess it only times my case a Humax Stick whom he recognized without problems with an existing WLAN stick to probieren.In, rather than the original drive for 40 euros to get.
Einmahl set, it displays all devices on the network and play Easily my 5GB large movie files in MKV, MP4, MOV and M4V from. The whole astonishingly free ruckel. This not my Bluray player. The navigation is quite fix. Here the Better processor over other devices is noticeable.
The contents of the hard disk can be added to or Tablet PC again. Live TV Streaming however does not go so far.
The App Store is well stocked, and he has a browser, but but no Flash unterstützt.Ich go further with the tablet to the Internet and do not need all this fuss really.
The MyTechnisat Apps on iOS a bit but modest in appearance and function more like beta. Thus, the display does not rotate with and you have to hold the iPad upright. The situation is different with a potent Android Tablet aus.Damit works flawlessly streaming and the App is better bedienen.Die DVR remote programming under Ios I yet do not get. Since I have to deal with again in more detail. Alone the remote control works currently as an app. Plug and play is different. Can not make the programming through an Internet page as Humax?
The transmitter to sort presents no difficulties. But there is no predefined channel lists except the Astra. You have to be laboriously erstellen.Die function to edit it on the computer I have not yet found. For people who already may have a Technisat stored Kanalisten be taken.
Picture and sound quality:
The picture from the tuner and especially Media Player is impeccable. One can the tuner up to 1080p upscaling. The sound quality is very good. you should change the digital menu to Dolby. Then you can still switch between Bitstream and PCM.
Conclusion:
I have not anything to test, but it is a very stable operating satellite receiver. Until now, I had no crash. However, there is point deduction because of the lack of permanent time shift support and the remote control buttons with the Mini. When it comes to media streaming, he is a grenade.

Addendum: 08:01:15
Under the Android app runs much better. I have bought myself the Lenovo Yoga 10 Tablet with Android. With the work the streaming of television programs on the Tablet einwandfrei.Das iPad Mini with Ios8 has great problems here.
I'm changing the text accordingly.
In WLAN stick can be dispensed with if a router is near or a LAN connection ist.Der possible wireless receiver via USB stick is weak and not one empfehlenswert.Zumal for the price already a router bekommt.Habe him with a cat cable connected with my Airport Extreme and full reception
Watch movies from the ARD or ZDF Mediathek makes really fun. No stuttering or reload spoils the image.
Addendum 07.19.2015: Unfortunately nerft the receiver with audio interruptions when shooting. Also image and sound skips HD + transmitters nerve us. Unfortunately, the first Positive Rating has now moderated somewhat.
