Test winner: DigiCorder T1 from TechniSat for the new digital terrestrial television

22.07.2005

The technical magazine ?video? has announced in its August issue the hard-drive DVB-T receiver TechniSat DigiCorder T1 to be the test winner and thus the best product of its category. Four devices have been tested.

The editors of this magazine, which is issued by the publishing company ?Stuttgarter Motor Presse? found the ample equipment in this price class remarkably. Thus, the TechniSat comfort EPG, the so-called ?SiehFernINFO?, which is integrated in all TechniSat receivers could convince once again. The ?video? test report especially emphasises the feature of the TechniSat DigiCorder T1 to automatically update its software via antenna. TechniSat is the only manufacturer providing its DVB-T receiver in Germany with such a software update via antenna. A further important advantage in this test was the high-quality 16-digit VF display of the TechniSat DigiCorder T1 on which not only the channel name but also additional information and EPG data can be read. This feature enables the user to start recordings even if the screen is switched off. No other test candidate could come up with a similar display.

Press text about the TechniSat DigiCorder T1:

With the TechniSat DigiCorder T1 you decide from now on yourself when your favourite shows are shown. Due to the integrated hard drive and TIME SHIFT your favourite show will no longer start at 8 PM but exactly when you like it to start. This is freedom ? you decide.

Features:

Recording of TV programmes
Record TV programmes digitally on the hard disk, which is integrated in the DigiCorder. At the push of a button the hard-drive management can replay the recorded programmes. Jump labels allow you to navigate within your digital recordings exactly in that way you are used to from a DVD. With the DigiCorder time?consuming spooling is a thing of the past. A special feature of the recording function: The DigiCorder records in addition to the common TV signals additional data such as teletext subtitles and additional sound tracks.

Recording of video text subtitles
An essential characteristic of the recording function is the possibility to record a programme also with subtitles. Thus, the DigiCorder is in particular a perfect recorder for hearing impaired people or people who are hard of hearing.

TIME SHIFT
TIME SHIFT allows you to stop each TV programme according to your wishes and later, for example after a telephone call, to continue it from the point on which you stopped it. Thus, you will never miss a single second of your programme again. Just push the pause button and continue watching afterwards.

?SiehFern INFO? comfort EPG
With the ?SiehFern INFO? the DigiCorder disposes of an integrated and editorially in high?quality prepared electronic programme guide, which makes a printed programme guide unnecessary.

One-button timer programming
The one-button timer programming is a feature of the ?SiehFern INFO? comfort EPG service and offers you a comfortable and programme-oriented timer programming with only one push of a button on your remote control. Simply choose via ?SiehFern INFO? the TV programme you would like to record and activate the timer. There is nothing easier than that.

Cut function
Edit the recorded TV programme via your remote control immediately on the DigiCorder. By means of the cut function you can subsequently polish your recordings. Remove for example commercial breaks or unrequested scenes.

Software update via antenna
Always up-to-date: TechniSat is the only manufacturer providing its DVB-T receiver in Germany with a software-update function via antenna. Thus it is understood that the DigiCorder is also able to receive free of charge new software versions and features via antenna.

Multilingual menu navigation
The menu navigation of the DigiCorder, which can intuitively be used, is available in the languages German, English, Turkish, Italian and French.

AutoInstall installation assistant
The AutoInstall installation assistant helps you reliably and purposefully at the first start?up of your DigiCorder. AutoInstall supports you in the choice of the OSD language, the preferred audio language, the time zone setting, the antenna configuration, the software update and the TV channel search.

Child lock
Protect your children against TV programmes, which are not appropriate for them. This is no problem for the DigiCorder. With the aid of the integrated child lock of the DigiCorder you are able to make complete TV programmes inaccessible for your children. Thus you can be assured that your children will only watch the TV programmes, which you consider to be good for them.
