Active use with channel switching, playback via USB, etc. in the
first 15 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of standby.
Reliable DVB-T2 receiver that will make for a
useful addition to any lounge room TV rack
and is easy to operate. Impressively fast
channel switching, extremely low power con-
sumption in standby mode and user-friendly
software. The level of workmanship is excel-
lent.
We found the remote control to be a little bit too small, and
the electronic program guide (EPG) did not quite meet our
expectations either.
Expert Opinion
25. MP3 playback
26. Image viewer
27. Slideshow mode
28. The receiver happily
accepted our Cryptoworks CI
module
29. A channel with Cryptoworks
encryption was decrypted and
presented by the receiver
30. EPG
31. Info bar
32. Extended EPG information
The audio player, on the oth-
er hand, turns out to be much
less versatile and requires MP3,
and MP3 only. It does make up
for that drawback with a truly
useful playlist feature, plus
it’s no big deal these days to
convert WMA and MP4A files
into the MP3 format. A Google
search is all that’s required to
find an endless supply of free
conversion software.
The built in image viewer
performed reliably and can be
set to present all of your holi-
day photos in a slideshow. You
can even determine how long
each photo will be shown in
order not to try your friends’
patience too hard. To sum up,
we were thoroughly happy with
the HDT-275C during our test.
Offering all functions and fea-
tures required for DVB-T2 re-
ception, it actually surpasses
many of its peers in a number
of fields. Nonetheless, Panodic
never rests on its laurels and
is constantly improving the
software of its products. A USB
storage medium is all that is
required to update the box’s
firmware or operating system.
And whenever those com-
mercial breaks seem to drag
on forever, you can kill some
time with one of the two built
in games (Othello and Sudoku),
or why not do some old-fash-
ioned teletext surfing for a
change? There’s only one issue
we haven’t dealt with so far:
the CI slot. But rest assured,
it gets the green light from us
right away, since it is a perfect
match for pay TV reception. All
this makes the Panodic HDT-
275C the right companion for
both worlds, free-to-air-recep-
tion and pay TV.
