Since there are obviously a lot of different information into the reviews for the integrated recording function (by not going to be played only on the device), I start here with my experiences:
Unlike most TV recording functions of other manufacturers the captured container format (.ts) is quite portable. I could both on the PC with the media player to play under Win7 Prof. and on a LG Blu-ray player with USB playback function (LG BP420). It was even problems in Magix Video Deluxe Premium imported 17 and therefore workable. The images were stored on an external 2.5-HDD (USB2.0 controller) that has been formatted to FAT32 (under Win7 this formatting is the way only by means of auxiliary programs that can be downloaded). The boundary of a recording is just under 4 GB, then the recording will be canceled (about 3 hours SD recording / DVB-T). A USB flash drive is also formatted in FAT32, works without objection (Intenso Basic 32GB, USB 2.0).
Recording video and sound quality of the recordings is exceptionally good and has me absolutely convinced (as opposed to internal recordings eg a current LG LED TVs).
For image quality of the TV: in Full HD resolution (Blu-Rays which were in use: among other things Blade Runner Star Wars I-VI, Inception) very good picture, high contrast, rich colors and sufficient sharpness. Hard to get for that price otherwise. With DVB-T use the picture is not so great, rather moderate, other TVs in this format since afford significantly more (cost but also more).
For sound quality: the built speakers offer unfortunately only as scanty to significant sound quality. Here, for example, a home theater system, or at least a sound bar would be advisable to resolve this shortcoming.
Operation: also rather weak, the power from the transmitter and change take perceived eternities. Establishment and optimization are running not very comfortable, and therefore because of the modest tone a star deduction.
Conclusion: those who know a little and technically adept is given a low-cost device with good to very good image on playing DVDs and BDs (with an additional player), as well as a recording function with very good quality and high portability compared to other manufacturers ,
In this context, strong buy recommendation!
