After much back and forth which digital satellite receiver for now to the house, I had decided on the TechniStar S2. The Insatllation went smoothly from the hand, but I was not fully satisfied at the beginning. Partially no image at power and quite a long start time from standby did not satisfy me. After the correct settings to the HDMI input of my remote supervisor and the Quick Start function on the receiver that was fixed. From Standby S2 now needs only about 3-4 seconds, switching takes about 1 second. Time Shift and recording works flawlessly with my Iomega hard drive and is almost without manual possible. The manual is unfortunately at only a CD, since a manual Währe been better. The S2 obtains an absolute buy recommendation because of its simple operation and the first-class picture and sound from me. This will certainly not be my last S2.
