Warning: Stay away from a poorly conceived device

The receiver makes a good impression at first haptic, the display is very simple, the other can be better. My 2 year old Philips DSR 9005 shows for example. All channels in full text and with scroll display.

In use, the negative points brought to bear:

- The remote control has an extremely short range, can also give ratings at targets on the recipient field commands. With a 42 "and larger screen you sit like before more than 3 meters. Since the remote control of the Humax must fit.

- Incredibly long boat Zeten. When you start after disconnection from the power grid, it always takes longer than one minute, sometimes much longer. Calls from friends ... "but sometimes just switching on the TV, d is currently running ..." are impossible to implement. Frustration for me ...

- But now the hammer: When changing channels, the unit is suddenly no more sound. Then helps only helpless up and down Turn and after a few minutes he then caught again and the sound is back. Call at the Humax Hotline: known problem, particularly in Philips TVs there Komptatibilitätsprobleme. Philips HD and Fox do not understand themselves. Question from me: And now? What to do? Answer: Is just so, not our problem, can try at such devices. Soon there will be an update, so is perhaps done. ... ... Huh? the extremely surly staff was also eventually nothing say, made me feel like I was a moron. Then a craftsman who spied in my apartment when repairing the HD Fox: "Oh, they also have this crap device with me always goes away, the sound ... I have a Toshiba LCD?." Aha, ... I'm not alone after all, and have in the meantime also other HD Fox aggrieved customers found that would throw this equipment prefer as soon as possible in the trash. The customer service is a disaster, without Löungsansatz without interest in this problem. Total unsatisfactory.

- The EPG often does not indicate complete channels. Parallel check on my Philips HD receiver, however, show that the channels send a signal, there appear the information.

Overall, obviously technically not mature device that me some nerves has cost several minutes in an unfriendly and frustrating Humax hotline. It is to throw such devices on the market an impertinence, Humax should here really get a ton of bricks and I hope that other prospective buyers consider this investment.
