| Receiver Comag SL HD 100 Serie |
The installation I managed without reading clear manuals. The channel search was completed quickly. Amazing on a device of this price range the lightning-fast switching of the programmes. The quality of the image to the HDMI socket is spotless. Own yet the vantage 8000, and the Topfield 7700 HSCI and can not say that these devices in the image are significantly better.
It was surprising to me that he all external hard drives immediately recognized klaglose, and automatically detect FAT32 and NTFS. Even a 5-year-old WD was immediately recognized 80 GB in NONAME housing. In contrast to the Topfield 7700, where only the external plates had to be formatted by the Topfield in FAT32 format. The playback of HD material took place without image or sound skips. Also this is boxing today HD set-top does not of course. One study only the relevant forums to various manufacturers.
The files can be edited with DVR-Studio of Haenlein-software.
The software should be revised but as soon as possible. EPG is very slow. Unfortunately no mini picture of the current programme is displayed. The list is largely empty after the call and is filled only through zap.
Little information in the info line, for example no start and end times of the current and following items. Even more would occur to me, but that is beyond the content of this short review. But also Vantage 8000 and Topfield 7700 HSCI are still construction sites.
The listings editor for the PC is handy. But it is also quite quickly on the set. Especially since the list edited by me again was transferable to the device. Allegedly, the file was too large.
After less than a month in operation, I can express only praise about the device. The installation was trouble-free, a channel search for ASTRA 19.2 was to done about 10 minutes, all networks detected. A Favorites list for HDTV programmes has already been created. Since I then ARTE HD added and cannot confirm the problems with damped education, which will likely be on the antenna system that comes as a good signal to the receiver. In a further list of favourites have I saved all programs me, I want to see regularly and then sorts the list according to my wishes, goes quite easily with the remote control, is always a bit button shall Fummel, but after 30 minutes was all done. Function I have still not so often used the PVR, but to an external 320 GB, he has accurately recorded hard disk. Because I do not permanently store the images lack naming does not bother me. But here, perhaps even a little improvement would be desirable. Let's see what brings the first software update....
But otherwise fast switching times and suspended it not has become so far also still, I a full solicitation. The same I did also with broadcasters, a Favorites list for rock/pop and one for classical music, because you have to search long the sender and the 8-digit display with scrolling text displays the selected program.
Comag SL 100 brings much performance for the money. Super picture, 1080i output via HDMI, connecting USB disks / sticks are HD capable, the biggest advantages of the device.
The connection of USB media works perfectly, I record it (NTFS) is a 500 GB Maxtor USB and thus work TimeShift and TV recordings without major problems. The recorded files can by using a Comag tool on the PC then in ts files convert and edit on the PC or archive. USB flash drives also indemnify can handle the device.
But there are also quirks: first of all the software is not sophisticated. The current official version 138 has many errors (timer programming doesn't always work, no EPG preview, EPG slowly). Can be found in the net current beta versions, which are far better. Why Comag so long with the release is waiting for is with self-diagnosis.
The USB connector is behind the front flap, so the front cover must remain always open if you have a hard drive off. It looks not very chic.
Still a good receiver, especially for the price. You should not hesitate but to play new firmware because the software is not yet mature.
