- Connect and install the ran absolutely smoothly from and was very easy
- "Normal" TV is easily receivable and the quality is very good
- The switching between the different channels are very short
Now comes the big BUT:
- Stick this should actually enable the receiving HD channels:
- After 4 weeks, I got the message in the included TV software that the codec for HD-TV has been discontinued and is the codec for a fee! may extend
- The supplied remote control only works with the included TV software (no media center support etc.)
- When switching between two HD channels, the TV software has always hung (whether Media Center or provided software)
Conclusion: I have been around for many years, TV cards in use (so far all of Haupauge / PCI slot). In comparing two of this stick is simply scrap - from service and driver support to mention. With a DVB-S2 Stick you should be able to receive HD channels with the supplied software, the need to purchase additional without a codec. And that all TV software that I've tried, adopted when switching between 2 HD channels also does not speak for the product or the manufacturer. In addition, as already mentioned, the supplied remote control can only be used with the included TV software. If any other software this entirely denied their service.
If I had had this information earlier, I would have left it alone. For this reason, this recession to other potential buyers for info in advance what can make this product and what does not.
I hope you were there a few helpful info.
