As Unitymedia customer (Internet + analog cable) I ordered this device to watch TV in hopefully better image quality on my LCD TV. My expectations have been fully met: setup extremely easy, good picture and sound quality, small dimensions. Although I must say that I have subscribed to any additional tariffs / Smartcards at Unitymedia, I went to the public channels, which are indeed transmitted unencrypted digital primarily (which is not visible on the Unitymedia pages). Apparently, all the necessary house amplifier and cans installed in the apartment in the house already for Internet over cable with me. At unencrypted channels I can not confirm the long switching times described here also the remote control behaves straightforward and need not be precisely aligned to the device. It would be desirable, of course, a digital video output, but that it has not this device, you already knew that beforehand so, therefore a total of 5 star.
