There is a pre-programmed channel list (ASTRA), since the initial setup is completed quickly.
The picture (SD and HD) is good, the switching times are short, there is nothing to complain about.
Recording programming via EPG is easy. Hard drive or flash drive must be formatted in FAT32 or NTFS, formatting is also possible using the remote control. (For longer recordings should werden- off to the default Auto Standby -can be paid = switches off after three hours).
Are the two available USB ports can either WLAN stick (I have not tried) or storage media connected (recordings are programmed, it makes sense to connect only 1 hard drive).
I use for shooting a WD My Passport external hard drive 500GB Ultra (6.4 cm (2.5 inches), USB 3.0) blue, so far everything works without complications.
The receiver has the network services DLNA DMR and DLNA DMP. Connected I have the receiver using the Devolo dLAN 550 Duo Powerline + Starter Kit (550 Mbit / s, 2 LAN ports, power outlet, data filter) white. The play works without problems, no jerking, no crashes.
