As I quite agree with the other reviews until now posted on the image quality / sound, I pass. By cons to make a / registration (s) hard drive is absolutely not an obligation. I did with my little USB key (8GB SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB SDCZ33-008G-B35) much cheaper and less bulky than a dd! And my key works for timeshifting ... Furthermore it is also good to know and remember that what is recorded by this demodulator can a priori be decoded by itself (see note); so if that Metronic loose, recordings ... Now regarding the operation in a camper: It's true that this demodulator can operate 12V ... Except he must also know that it comes without cigarette lighter cord !!! For further data; a satfinder is not an absolute necessity; because it shows two bar graphs demodulator settings via the TV (which allows me to target the right satellite in 2 mins roughly speaking). Finally, and to try to be a little less ambiguous, this is a Fransat demodulator, not TNTSAT. = FRANSAT DTT with theoretically unlimited use map in time. While TNTSAT = limited use card in time, that we must repay ... I specify this because some are unaware that to be obliged to repay a card every 4 years is not free DTT ...
