The best satellite receiver I know at the moment. I immediately bought a second one for the holiday flat.
When I unpacked the TechniSat DIGIT ISIO STC (UHD/4K), I was a little disappointed. 399,-- Fr. for such a small unimpressive device? Then I installed and tested the device and was surprised at what it had to offer. I have already bought and installed well over thirty satellite receivers for myself and my friends. I have always read the reports and tests in the relevant media and bought according to these judgements. Among them were devices that cost more than three times the price of the TechniSat DIGIT ISIO STC (UHD/4K). The TechniSat DIGIT ISIO STC (UHD/4K) puts them all in its pocket. It has everything you would expect from a top device, and it is also very easy to operate.
- Record and play back the recordings without any problems, even with a computer.
- Transfer films or photos from the computer to a stick and watch them on the TV via the receiver.
- You can access the WLAN just as easily as with a mobile phone or a PC and everything is shown on the TV just as on a PC.
- And, and, and.
The set has great satellite reception and the remote control can reach the set even in difficult conditions.
Searching for channels is very easy. You select the satellite(s) and the unit then shows all the channels found in a list in alphabetical order. From this list, you can then transfer the desired channels to a second list and then sort this list.
Special features:
The unit can be set to switch off automatically after a set time if no function keys on the remote control are pressed. The unit is set to 3 hours. You must change this during installation.
The unit can be protected with a password. This function is hidden in the child lock. There you can change the password from 0000 to your password.Pro
- Top reception
- Very convenient, simple installation and operation
- Easy integration into the internet
It doesn't get any better than this, absolute recommendation to buy.
This device convinces all along the line. Top picture quality, flawless WLAN and LAN functions, simple commissioning and intuitive operation. HD+ card from version 03 (version 02 does not work). I switched from Dreambox 7020 HD to TechniSat DIGIT ISIO STC and have no regrets. The only thing I have to do without is the programme list editing function on the computer, and the switching times for encoded channels could be a little faster. In view of the many strengths, this can be easily overcome.
All those who value a reliable, functional, comfortable and future-proof box, and who do not want to configure it endlessly, as is the case with Dreambox, will love the TechniSat DIGIT ISIO STC Gold. It doesn't get any better than this, an absolute buy recommendation.Pro
- - Reliable, functional, comfortable and future-proof box
- - top image quality
- - Easy commissioning
Contra
- - Switching times of encoded channels could be somewhat faster
- - No programme list editing possible on the computer yet
Absolutely not recommended for people who are used to a Dreambox 8000 ! The frustration with this box becomes unbearable !
I cannot support the praise of my pre-testers in any way.
The device is a frustration and can in no way even come close to fulfilling my expectations. It is absolutely not network-compatible and also has no web GUI as one is used to from other Linux-based boxes. Even the old Technistar K1 could at least be programmed from a PC. Even if you ping the correct device address, there is no response. However, it can access the internet and the NAS. But it can't play 4K UHD video files from the NAS; video UHD AVC/H.264 is not supported! What is this all about ? I thought I had bought a 4K UHD device. These files are even played directly by my TV! The box can only play normal HD files via the network. To get video files from the box to the PC you have to unplug the USB disc and plug it into the PC. The prerequisite is that you format the USB disc with NTSF, otherwise the PC will not be able to use the disc. Alternatively, there is the PC programme Media Port from Technisat, version 1.3.9; old coffee from the year 2010, which does not work because the receiver is not recognised or flies out immediately when you click on the files! Only with FAT32 does it work to some extent. What good are apps for tablet and handset? I am not a tablet swinger; I want to control the box from the PC in the home network, without email and password and other gugus ! All wrong! The NAS is not accepted as a recording medium via the network; there is no folder with the appropriate file system. Therefore, only one star for this completely unusable device.
I will have to buy a Dreambox again.Pro
- Nothing extra that stands out for a recording receiver.
- would not already be self-evident.
Contra
- No web GUI interface; cannot be programmed from PC.
- Media Port does not work if the medium is formatted with NTFS, files cannot be saved on the medium.
- copied to the PC.
- Videos cannot be recorded to the Synology NAS over the network as advertised.
- ext4 file system is not supported! After all, there are other things than Fritzboxes!
- Has no HDMI-IN connection
- Consumes the same amount in standby as in ON (12W) and gets quite warm.
- Programme list sorting a pain in the neck !
- For the price, an absolute "brick" that can't really do anything that you would expect.
Swiss service
Perfect service and perfect device
I would buy again.
Bought as a replacement for the Horizon box from UPC.
For me, worlds better - faster, nicer, more practical and easier to use.Pro
- Easy installation
- Unlimited recording of films on hard disk / USB stick
- Integrated volume control: Only one remote control with externally connected music system
- Mobile devices can be used as remote control with app: no remote controls lying around
Contra
- DTS (Digital Theatre System) not (yet?) implemented.
TechniSat
Pro
- Simple programming
- Top quality
okay
had the thing only briefly in use
One device for many purposes
Ideal partner when travelling. as it is small and light.
In addition, it has all the tuners.Pro
- Timely small
- Super picture
- Easy handling
Contra
- Housing could be more valuable
Buy Sofot again
Perfect device, Perfect quality
All ok
Problem-free connection to the existing SAT antenna. This device replaced my existing ISIO S1, which had no problems at all. So why replace it? Because of the connection of the TechniSAT USB BT transmitter to use the headphones at the same time as the TV sound.
Negative: the S1 had space for 2 CI modules and a Smartcard reader. The STC only has room for 1 CI module and 1 Smartcard card reader (which, however, supports the HD+ card).
Now I can only use the SAT-CH card in the CI module and put the HD+ card into operation at the same time. Unfortunately, the SKY CI module no longer does. I therefore had to add the new SKY.CH app together with Apple TV 4K to the TV. But it works perfectly and without any interruptions with iPhone, iPad, PC and Apple TV.Pro
- USB headphone output
Contra
- Only 1 CI slot
Definitely the best receiver
The device can do everything you need it to do, and it's also very user-friendly and reliable.
Absolute recommendation
Very good condition
I am very happy with this device and can highly recommend it.
This SAT receiver has an incredible number of functions. Hardly any wishes remain unfulfilled.
Pro
- extensive functions
- Well installed, gives a stable impression
- Basic installation is relatively simple
Contra
- Operating instructions are very demanding for individual settings
- Operating instructions could have been designed in a more customer-friendly way
Small in size but with top results
Best satellite receiver I have used so far. Easy to install, with impressive picture quality.
Absolutely recommendable.Pro
- Setup and handling / clear menu e.g. for external hard disk (recording management)
Contra
- none
This is my second Technisat device and it works very reliably!
I can only recommend the set, TimeShift and recording function work perfectly. The channel switching times are fast and the menu is very user-friendly!
Very satisfied
Top device with all possibilities
Pro
- 4k, 2xSat tuner, 2xcable tuner, 2xantenna tuner, Ci+ slot
- The Rolls Royce of satellite receivers
Convenient high-end satellite receiver with extensive multimedia functions and WLAN
Installation is extremely simple and quick. Afterwards, you can enjoy an outstanding SAT TV and video picture (feed from external USB hard drive). After my previous experiences (e.g. with VU+), I was amazed and surprised at how user-friendly and well thought-out the installation and operating concept of the Technisat receiver is. Channel selection and switching is very quick. The internet functionality is very good, but the accessible collection of apps is rather mediocre. I miss an access app for Netflix and the remaining apps are, with a few exceptions, superfluous for me. Despite this (very) small downer, I am thrilled with this top device.
Pro
- Very good picture quality up to 4K
- WLAN included
- Fast channel switching
- Very simple and user-friendly installation
Exactly meets expectations.
Fast delivery
Quick and easy commissioning
Everything works as describedHardware top, unfortunately still a few bugs
A device with great functions.
Unfortunately, it still has a few teething troubles, e.g. the device occasionally loses the WiFi connection and can only be reconnected by unplugging it, and my powerful external USB drive was described as "incompatible", but so far it works without any problems. Technically, however, it's top hardware, so I'm hoping for a few operating system updates, as is so often the case these days...Pro
- good hardware
Contra
- Childhood diseases (see above)
Thumbs up
We bought the TechniSat because of the good reviews and I am happy about it.very easy installation and operation.worth the money.be careful when connecting the satellite cable,the two contacts inside are very thin and fragile.
OK
DVBS2: I have mounted a motorised satellite dish and the setting is simple.
DVBT2: I receive 130 channels, most of them in HD on Citicable Lausanne
I installed a CONAX card and another Viaccess with CI module at the same time. Result:OKPro
- Records 2 (two!) programmes on two different channels at the same time.
Very good device
Operation is better than with the old Technisat.
I have attached an HDD 1TB... the recordings
are very good on the PC!Waiting again for a cheaper $$$$$$$$$$ price
I didn't order the product, it was already offered at 289.-, so I didn't order it for 326 Fr.- at Digitec. Still waiting for a better price.
