Hello, I have the equipment for the past 3 months and have to say it has convinced me completely. Initially, the software for this device was not fully developed yet but after the last update in early May 08 can actually everything perfectly. Picture and sound quality are beyond doubt. In my case the device is running in conjunction with a Panasonic LCD TV and a Pansonic AV receivers and a CI module Alphacrypt. Attached is a Trekstor hard drive with 500 GB. And that's the best part: Premiere HD broadcasts can easily be in HD with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound on the hard disk to record. In top quality. This is absolutely the hammer. In addition, you can still save money compared to a purchase of a receiver with built-in hard drive. Best Buy !!!
