Very compact and space-saving construction, low power con-
sumption, well-organized OSD, logical operation and every PVR
feature you can think of are all plus points for the Amiko Mini HD.
All in all, a perfect little receiver.
The Auto DiSEqC function because of the limited number of
preprogrammed satellites in some cases doesn’t provide convinc-
ing results. The eight timer slots for a PVR receiver are not enough.
In addition to the ability to
update the receiver’s soft-
ware, the user also has ac-
cess to current weather in-
formation, RSS feeds as well
as services such as YouTube,
YouPorn and Google Maps.
The idea of adding Google
Maps to a satellite receiver
seems to be an innovative
idea at first, but in reality
it’s not all that easy to work
with when all you have is a
remote control and an OSD
keyboard.
To round it all off, three
integrated video games
are included that we had a
lot of fun with in our tests.
There were also numerous
settings capabilities as well
as the ability to store the
channel list on a USB stor-
age device if needed. In
general we were quite sat-
isfied with the logical and
well-organized OSD struc-
ture including its graphical
presentation. Thanks to its
very low power consump-
tion at only 3W in standby,
you can keep a little extra
of your money in your wal-
let. And because of its small
size, the Amiko Mini HD can
easily be hidden deep inside
your TV setup.
