On Technisat Digit ISIO S agrees almost 'everything.
The TechniSat DigiCorder Isio S impresses with its comprehensive facilities. The receiver with two DVB-S tuners provides a large 500 GB hard drive for recordings, photos and music. Although the transfer from / to your PC go but are very slow. The associated program 'Media Port' deserves in terms of size and appearance, at best, a. 4
Integrated WLAN is completely missing in the relatively expensive equipment. Proposed 'monstrous' wireless USB adapter is very slow (54 Mbit / s). The possibility of a small wireless USB adapter (Ultron, Allnet and many others) to connect there is not unfortunately. The Wireless USB Adapter Technisat works only when he wants to, he falls very often and also you have to very often completely new sign on WLAN.
Although advertised Internet applications work in principle but extremely slow. You feel transported back to the early days of the Internet 'www = world wide waiting
The standard remote is not backlit, an absurdity in such a high quality receiver. You have to either buy a good remote control for a lot of money in addition to or buy the receiver with 1TB hard drive, there is the 'right' remote control it.
There is also a keyboard, the Keyboard Control ISIO to device. It works very well but important keys missing on the keyboard (Menu, Info) this one has such an important key as PIP available. It is incomprehensible that the F1 to F10 keys are not assigned via FN functions.
Dearest wish would be a mini wireless USB adapter with 300 Mbit / s and the optimization of Internet applications in terms of speed and operation. Technisat providers should prescribe the type of operation but at least recommend (analog Apple the iPad)
Conclusion: an excellent tool but in need of improvement in the basic functions to use in many areas. One has the impression that engineers have done this instead of leaving the hand a-service designer. The TechniSat DigiCorder Isio S would have a few changes, improvements and additions to the potential of the reference unit.
