Have long easy-to-use search for a SAT> IP receiver that does not directly cost a fortune and I must say, the Telestar TD 2520 HD does its job perfectly. One chooses from SAT> IP and immediately all the channels are there. Switching is very fast (1 second) and the image is very stable. I run it in conjunction with an Elgato Netstream 4Sat SAT> IP Server. The switchover via iPad or Eye TV on the Mac have always been cruel and I thought it would be on the server, but on the Telestar you can actually use as a receiver would be connected directly to SAT. No difference. And for the price I am really excited. There are a few apps like Youtube and DLNA app to play movies or music from the home network. Works in conjunction with my Synology and also with Plex. However, do not work a lot of formats. As a media player, I would therefore not recommend him. But since he is supposed to be a SAT> IP Receiver in the first place and I rate him as such, there is the maximum score. Because that makes it really very good!
