I'm very satisfied with the Technisat: Easy 1. Installation, self-explanatory instructions needed to do that; all programs are immediately sorted useful and clear; because the HD + card is already installed in the unit, all HD channels are now available and in the program list instead of the normal channels already sorted (eg ARD ARD HD instead to channel 1) 2. Connect a USB hard drive was easy (had an old 110 Giga Verbatim); plugged, is recognized and formatted by the receiver; after all recording functions available; about the really good EPG function recordings can then be programmed with eindem button; 3. switching times are really short !; was very important for me, because I like durchzappe times; had been so an old Technisat receiver (no HD) in operation, as it umschaltete faster than other receivers; the new switches between HD channels at the same speed, noticing no difference; Top !; only after switching it takes longer until the image is there; must halt until hohfahren HDD etc; for me but not a problem;
