Customer Review

Biher I have had good experiences with Samsung devices and me decided therefore to purchase this equipment.
But this time I was pretty disappointed.
Basic functions, such as CD / DVD playback work fairly well. (Should now no longer a problem represent)
I have the apps Smart Remote and SmartView installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note. I can thus find the BD-H8909S, but not connect.
I have also tried it with AllShare, but there came no connection.
Both devices are on the same LAN. Even if I enter the IP address of the BD manually, it does not.
Did it then with my XORO-PAD tried: with the same (mis) success.
It is astonishing that the BD easily connect to my Synology DiskStation.
Conclusion: This Samsung device can communicate better with other equipments as its own.

At first the BD also had problems with the recording of TV program. Both ad hoc recordings as well as scheduled recordings are not saved on the internal hard disk. Validation and formatting of the operating system performed flawlessly.
Once a recording has been successfully saved times, she was gone again after 1 day.
Meanwhile work the recordings (perhaps because of a now carried out Firmware Update?).
But it remains a queasy feeling, whether the recording will work the next time.

Recordings on USB devices have operated only with a 4 GB USB flash drive.
Shooting on a 1TB USB disk or a 16GB USB flash drive not working. In the middle of the recording could not get the BD and could be made available again only by pulling the power plug.

I keep the unit now and hope to debug through future firmware updates.
I would not buy the BD-H8909S after the experience again.
