Likvid, don't blame me... ;)
I'm happy such a receiver is available on the market, it has huge potential, I'm not a "Kathrein enemy"...
I'm just reportin' what I read
in areadvd they talk about USB and ethernet port as a mystery: 3 USB ports actually good only for software upgrade and for multimedia applications actually not known, the ethernet actually has no use at all, as directly from Kathrein they confirmed to me: "this option is not availiable, the Ethernet port can not be used in the moment"
USB could be pretty much use if an external hdd could be connected
we all know what an active ethernet port could be for on a Linux based receiver
all these connections can be developed, so as DiSEqC, but they arent't at the moment
I agree most of the hdtv receivers have a slow channel change, but I never heard about "2 seconds and a half" to switch sd channels, "3 seconds and a half" to switch hd channels...: they can correct it too, but I guess they need time...
and it's a shame because, according to areadvd report, the image quality is superb, much better than any other hdtv receiver actually available
btw. I'm standing by, watching if they can develop the receiver: if they do, it'll be mine...
