TEST REPORT HDTV Receiver with HD+ Standard Jaeger HD+ 2011 The German Receiver with a Plus 38 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 12-01/2011 — www.TELE-satellite.com 12-01/2011 Jaeger HD+ 2011 Excellent Family Friendly HDTV Receiver Optimized for the HD+ Transmission Standard in Germany To regular readers of TELE-satellite the company Doebis from Mündersbach in Germany might ring a bell. It is a wholesale dealer offering an extensive product range combined with excellent customer service, and it is a business that readily endorses cutting-edge technology for the benefit its customers. Now Doebis has taken another leap and is launching its own line of receivers, with the first offspring jumping right in the middle of a market niche that has recently appeared in the German market. There, commercial networks have teamed up to use the new HD+ standard which allows reception of the HD versions of these commercial stations next to all other free-to-air DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels. Doebis distributes the new set-top box under the trade name Jaeger.
Channels using the HD+ standard are currently only of interest to a Germanspeaking audience, as HD+ smartcards to unlock these channels are only available in Germany at this stage. The Jaeger HD+ 2010 therefore exclusively has the German market in mind for time being. HD+ channels are broadcast via ASTRA 19.2° East. We will deal with every nook and cranny of the new receiver in a moment, but let us first find out what this talk about HD+ really is all about: In a global perspective, Germany had long been a dark spot on the HDTV map. While most of Asia, North America, Australia and also a number of European countries had introduced high-definition television some time ago, Germany seemed to be perfectly content with its SDTV offering for a very long time. Apart from pay TV provider Sky and an unsuccessful attempt at HDTV by some commercial channels not much happened with regard to HD content. Is there a particular reason for this development, or should we rather say: lack of development? For decades, German viewers have been blessed with a large number of free-to-air commercial channels, which offered all sorts of content next to the large public broadcasting networks, which can also be received free-to-air. Viewers have come to expect and demand high-quality programming, including all the latest blockbuster movies, TV dramas and sitcoms, plus elaborate homemade content free of charge. Or almost free of charge, if you consider the licence fee that every Germany household with a TV set has to pay. Various and – sometimes – lengthy advertising breaks on commercial stations are the trade-in, which Germans had and have to accept in return for channel and content variety. For all the reasons stated above pay TV was off to a very bad start in Germany and is still struggling to become financially viable. Just think about it: Would you be willing to pay for subscription TV if the sheer number of channels coming in at no cost satisfies almost all of your viewing requirements? Up until the invention of the PVR (personal video recorder), both broadcasters and viewers seemed content with this arrangement, and commercial stations were able to provide decent programming thanks to a steady flow of advertising revenue. All this began to slowly erode due to time-shift viewing and hard-disk recording, with the added benefit of skipping commercial breaks.
