The Opticum HD PVR with XC2 is excellent from the quality point of view, although there after almost 2 months of use show a few peculiarities. The biggest annoyance is the remote control. You have to aim directly at the receiver in order to have success. If you hold the remote control at a distance of 1.5 meters just over 25 degrees above or below the receiver, on the screen does nothing more. The labeling is carried out in almost all buttons and knobs on the remote control in bright white, only around the center are all thin and gray in a pale, so that they can not read in the dim light. Unfortunately, however, are the keys that you frequently used such as INFO, EPG or EXIT. Needless a certain learning phase. Happy the man who has only one receiver, one who can adapt quickly to this remote control and operate the buttons then intuitively. The manual does not help. When programming, for example, you can read much. Since it is primarily concerned with "trial and error" and so it goes in some other areas of the guide continues: try out and if it does not work, take the other path. A software update was not found for this device. Only demand from the manufacturer has been successful, with one but with this unit should always pay attention to the words "with PVR" or "without PVR" because both receivers have the same types of designation. The software programs differ with these terms and 160_HDX2C_GER_RETA_CONAX_PVR.abs 160_HDX2C_GER_RETA_CONAX_NOPVR.abs
Addendum on 24/12/2013: The remote control has been repaired after I could no longer endure the annoying gambling with the precise targeting of the receiver. An email to the manufacturer brought the answer: send the device, we will repair! After 3 working days the receiver came back repaired and the day before Christmas !! All Attention!
