Test: Terratec USB H5 tv-kort

Konklusion

Et ganske fint produkt, men med få anvendelses muligheder. Den gør dog det, den er skabt til - nemlig at fange tv-signaler til din computer. Jeg er dog skuffet over, at det ikke var muligt at anvende den medfølgende antenne bedre. Hvis man ikke fixede antennen forsvandt billedet øjeblikkeligt. Der, hvor den er bedst, er i stuen med signalet direkte fra udtaget. Fjernbetjeningen var ikke god. Men hvis man er besiddelse af en Media Center fjernbetjening fra f.eks. Microsoft er det et fint produkt, der gør det, den skal.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Det er et fint bundle, men der mangler en manual. Det trækker ned, men adapteren til almindelig antenne trækker op her.

Design/Layout - 4
Tuneren er udført i et lækkert design og har en tilpas størrelse. Den er nem at have med på farten og at gemme væk, hvis den ikke skal bruges. Desværre er fjernbetjeningen ikke værd at skrive om. Her er der klart et sted at forbedre.

Software - 3
Softwaren fuldfører det formål, den har - at modtage tv-signal og vise det. Dette gør den fint, men der er ikke mere at komme efter.

Ydelse - 3
Ydelsen er god, så længe man bruger signalet direkte fra udtaget i stuen. Men det trækker ned, at den har så svært ved at fange TV-signaler med sin egen antenne - fx på farten.

Pris - 2
Til en pris på 750,- kr. er det skuffende, at den har så svært ved at fange signaler med den medfølgende antenne.

UK summary

A quite nice product, but with too few uses. It does what is is created for - which is capturing tv-signals to your computer. I am however disappointed that it was not possible to use the antenna better. If one did not fix the antenna, the picture disappears immediately. The place where it works the best, is in the livingroom with a signal directly from the box. The remote was not really that good. But if you are in posession of a Media Centre remote from e.g. Logitech, it is a nice product, which does what it is supposed to do.

Innovation/Technology - 3
Comes with a nice bundle, but lacks a manual. That drags the score down, but the adapter for a regular antenna drags it up.

Design/Layout - 4
The tuner is done in a nicely design and has a suitable size. It is easy to have with you on the go, and to hide away when not being used. Sadly the remote is not worth mentioning. This is definately a place to improve.

Software/BIOS - 3
The software fulfils its purpose - to recieve TV signals and show it. It does this fine, so there is not really anything else to mention.

Performance - 3
The performance is good, as long as you use the signal directly from the box in the livingroom. But it drags down the score when it has such a hard time catching the signals with its own antenna - for example on the move.

Price - 2
At a price of 750,- DKK it is disappointing, that it has such a hard time catching the signals with its own antenna.
