Now it's easy to use, the TechniSat is revealed as a bit of a charmer
Posted by whathifi.com on 11th Dec 2009
September's magazine included a three-star review of this Freesat receiver that lauded its picture, while denouncing its crashy, error-prone ergonomics.
There have been numerous software updates since then, so we're hoping this latest incarnation will be less of a swine to use.
Since our first review, the TechniSat has gained the ability to record to an external memory stick or hard drive via one of the two USB sockets. There's also an optional USB WLAN adapter to connect your PC wirelessly to the HDFS (see picture).
Set-up remains straightforward and the now-stable and quick-loading EPG is simple to navigate too.
As before, the HDFS is a compact device with sufficient connectivity (composite, Scart, digital optical and coaxial, and HDMI outputs; USB, Ethernet and LNB aerial inputs) to satisfy any reasonable user, a straightforward remote and gratifyingly simple menus.
HD images are clear to see
With its new-found lack of ergonomic histrionics, the HDFS is free to do its thing – which is to be a solid, colourful and stable TV tuner.
When delivering high-definition broadcasts, the TechniSat produces plenty of detail, handles motion confidently and does convincing work with skin tones.
The TechniSat also offers strong contrasts and draws a nice smooth edge. Sound is of the 'inoffensive' rather than 'actively enjoyable' type.
Freed from the operational shortcomings we identified earlier this year, the HDFS is now a fine Freesat receiver with a couple of useful additional features.

I have found this product to be better than expected, although expensive it is really is well built and has a host of features that i have found useful such as the card readers for playback of music files, photos and movie clips.
I have not used the wireless feature but thsi will be useful when BBCi-player becomes aavailable

Reliable, Fast and well Equipped
Posted by Steve Williams on 9th Jul 2009
I have used the HDFS and found it very quick and easy to install. The card readers are great for my digital camera and i have managed to stream media files wirelessly from my wireless router through the HDFS and to my TV. Absolutely great, i am looking forward to i-player being available on Freesat as with this product i can stream it wirelessly from my PC.
Built like a Tiger Tank and with a 3 year guarantee, it os a great bit of kit.
