Our overall positive im-
pression was further ampli-
fied by the error-free func-
tioning of the OSD teletext
decoder and the on-the-
whole very carefully imple-
mented software. Thanks
to the powerful main pro-
cessor, the 128 MB flash
memory and the 256 MB
SDRAM, all of the remote
control commands were
promptly executed without
any delay.

Last but not least, the
USB port serves to upload
the latest receiver software.
The manufacturer regularly
makes software updates

their web site.
The IS1-19HD comes not
only with a hard-wired RJ45
Ethernet interface, with the
help of the included WiFi
Dongle it can also commu-
nicate wirelessly with your
router. In our tests this con-
nection worked perfectly; as
soon as the Dongle was con-
nected to the USB interface,
it immediately recognized all
