Dutch. At the same you may
also define your preferred
audio track languages in case
a channel broadcasts more
than one. When you want to
tell the receiver which time
zone you are in you need not
know your local difference to
GMT but rather select your
zone from a list of well-known
European cities.
Continuing with audio/video
settings, the receiver can
be told which signal resolution
your TV panel prefers so
that you always get the best
quality on screen. We should
emphasise the fact that the
Jaeger HD+ 2011 already supports
1080p, which means it
is fit for the future of satellite
television even today. Obviously
1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i
as well 480p and 480i can
chosen as well. The receiver
automatically detects the
colour standard of a received
channel and adjusts the
output signal accordingly.
No matter whether you
have a 4:3 or 16:9 TV set, the
box will deal it with it, and
you may define the way 16:9
broadcasts are displayed on a
4:3 set.
Thanks to the integrated
scart euroconnector RGB and
CVBS are available for analog
signal output and a separate
menu item let’s you add or
edit up to 50 timer entries.
Once all basic parameters
are set pressing the Exit
button will bring you to the
first receivable channel on
the list. Every time a new
channel is selected the Jaeger
HD+ 2011 inserts an info bar
on the bottom of the screen
which includes date, time and
information on the current
and next event, if this information
is provided. There are
icons indicating encryption
and the availability of subtitles,
audio tracks as well as
teletext.
Press the OK button and
the clearly arranged channel
list will pop up, with ten channel
entries per page. Using
the green and yellow function
keys you may select individual
satellite entries, while the
Text button opens up a search
mask which you can use find
that particular channel you’re
looking for. The Favourite
button accesses up to ten
favourites lists which you can
arrange in any fashion you
like.
The Jaeger HD+ 2011 zapping
speed is approximately
one second for free-to-air
SDTV channels. Switching to
HDTV or encrypted channels
takes slightly longer. We were
truly impressed with the video
performance of this receiver,

even though most material
on HD+ channels currently is
upscaled SD content. Every
time native HD is broadcasts
your eyes are virtually glued
to the screen – watching TV
has never been more brilliant!
If you’re interested in finding
out more about the event
you’re watching or even want
to check what’s on TV later
at night or the next day the
EPG button will become your
best friend. Press it once for
extended information about
the currently showing event
and press it again to see a
preview of the selected channel
for up to seven days. If
you press the EPG button
yet again a preview schedule
of five channels at a time
appears on screen. In next to
no time can you then find out
what your favourite channels
will show in primetime, or
when the next episode of that
crime drama is on.
No matter which EPG mode
you’re in, if you come across
an event that’s not to miss
you can easily create a timer
entry by simply pressing the
blue button. This is a particularly
smart feature considering
that an external HDD can
be hooked up to the Jaeger
HD+ 2011 thanks to the USB
2.0 interface. If you make
use of that option you’re not
only able to record content,
but also use the timeshift
viewing feature – at least for
free-to-air channels. So next
time your mother-in-law calls
simply press Pause and pick
up the phone – that way you’ll
both be happy and you can
continue watching whenever
you feel like. As mentioned
before, this feature is not
available for channels on the
HD+ platform.
By and large, all PVR features
of the new Jaeger
receiver are cleverly implemented
and easy to use. The
box boasts a single tuner
only, which is why it is not
possible to watch a channel
from a different transponder
while a recording takes place.
If the recording is made from
an encrypted HD+ channel it
is not possible to watch a different
channel at all, just as
is it not possible to make two
recordings at the same time.
A previously stored event,
however, can be played back
at any time during recording.
The Movie button on the
remote control – or the corresponding
menu item in the
on-screen display – brings
you to the content of the
external HDD. Here again, the
display sports a clever layout,
is more or less self-explanatory
and also provides details
such as recording date,
length and originating channel
for each recording. There
is even an integrated picture
viewer for presenting photos
of your journey around the
world or any other event in
your life. You and your guests
