The machine starts within seconds, within the menus sometimes there short waiting times, particularly when I want after stopping a track delete them. That bothers me.
Installation is even easier than with analog devices, the transmitter is no time found. Although everything has to be entered with the remote control, also the WiFi connection can be easily manufactured. The guide, of course, also digitally fed is updated immediately and does not require hours, as in conventional devices.
Prima: You can record two programs simultaneously.
The managing scheduled recordings is somewhat different from the usual and still not quite convinced me, but met quite their purposes.
Regarding the price of Bluray blanks, must be put into perspective: even if "worst" copy size the images are still outstanding, and there are x times more space than hours on DVDs.
IMPORTANT TIP FOR COPY: If you select High Speed, the Blurays may not play on another player! In any case, my Sony device refuses. Willy-nilly, must be archived in real-time speed, but because all formats are then possible.
By the way: In the ZDF channel you via red button access to HbbTV offers! In ARD did not work for me (yet).
My absolute recommendation for this device!
