For the first time the station search, which with my cable provider (symbol rate 6.900 and QAM256) starts easily and has mainly worked very quickly. The CI + slot, it is also possible in addition to display the encrypted channels, the CI + module is to acquire the cable provider separately.
The menu is intuitive, a look at the manual was not necessary. The transmitter can be summarized and sort them into favorites. If you need the antenna loop-through in the off condition can also be activated in the settings.
I especially like the recording function that can write directly onto the USB drive in NTFS or FAT32 format.
The device sets merely the subfolder "PVR" and writes there the .ts files back with speaking name. So it's no extra formatting needed, which also other content will remain. The timer programming can be easily done via the menu Start / end time, also in the state abgeschaltenen entries remain.
A positive surprise is the built-in media player that can play most popular formats of the plate.
The videos (mainly MPEG2 / MPEG4), I've tried so far, have started briskly and had no problems with playback.
Conclusion: a really good cable receiver that can record and play back plates on NTFS.
