www.TELE-satellite.com — 10-11/2007 — TELE-satellite & Broadband

recording. Swapping harddisks

and transferring data to a PC

becomes child’s play and to top

it off, even a USB stick with suf-

ﬁcient memory can be attached

to the USB interface so that you

can put several hours of record-

ing in your pant pockets, for

example.

Updating the operating

system of the receiver can also

take place with a USB stick so

that the also available RS-232

interface will be out of work

most of the time.

Our test unit came with an

external Freecom 500GB hard-

disk which has the added ben-

eﬁt of switching off as soon as

the receiver goes into standby.

Form a design point of view it

also ﬁts in nicely with the new

S80.12 HD thanks to its blue

LED on the front panel.

A USB extension cable is also

included, which allows connect-

ing external USB devices with-

out having to ﬁddle around with

the interface on the back of the

receiver – a very thoughtful

gesture.

The workmanship of the

receiver lives up to the expec-

tations we have in Eycos and

the remote control is also

robust and sturdy, even though

some users might ﬁnd it to be

a bit oversized. All buttons are

clearly labelled and beginners

should be able to use it right

away, too.

Our test unit was shipped with

a German operating manual and

although this was labelled as a

pre-release version it included

all required information in a

neat and sufﬁcient manner.

Everyday use

The Eycos S80.12 HD is a

product clearly geared towards

the European market and thus

it is hardly surprising that it

comes pre-programmed with

all channels that are likely to be

received in European countries.

The channel list includes up-

to-date parameters for ASTRA

19.2° East, HOTBIRD 13° East

and TURKSAT 42° East.

By the time the receiver is

ofﬁcially available in stores

Eycos have promised to add

ASTRA 3A 23.5° East and

ASTRA2 28.2, both of which

carry several HDTV channels

across Europe. An updated

channel list will also be made

available on the manufacturer’s

website at www.eycos.de.

Pushing the ‘Menu’ button

will also leave you stunned,

because Eycos has managed to

arrange the many features of

their new S80.12 HD into four

neatly structured areas.

The ﬁrst area deals with the

antenna conﬁguration and the

channel list. All in all, 175 Euro-

pean, Asian and American sat-

ellites are listed, yet the list is

not fully up-to-date and needs

some revision. The manufac-

turer has promised to address

this problem and offer an

update by the time the ofﬁcial

sales starts.

The receiver can handle C-

band as well as Ku-band signals

and even the most exotic LOFs

won’t pose a problem thanks to

a manual LOF setting. You can

choose to use the new Eycos

receiver with a DiSEqC rotating

system or a multifeed antenna

since it features DiSEqC 1.0,

1.2 as well as 1.3 (USALS). The

only thing missing is DiSEqC

1.1.

In line with all the positive

attributes mentioned so far the

receiver is also very quick when

scanning for signals. Four and

a half minutes is all it took to

fully scan an 80-transponder

satellite and it may well be that

it set a new record for this job.

All-in-all there is memory for

6000 channels, which should be

sufﬁcient for most users.

The second menu area helps

to personalise the device, start-

ing from selecting the desired

language of the OSD (English,

French, German, Spanish, Ital-

ian, Russian, Turkish, Dutch,

Czech or Polish) and ranging

from setting the brightness of

the front panel LED all the way

to a number of OSD settings.

A feature worth mentioning is

the automatic detection of AC3

audio. Thanks to this, owners of

DD 5.1 home theatre systems

won’t have to manually select

the Dolby Digital soundtrack

– this task is fully taken care of

by the receiver.

The AV settings of the S80.12

HD can be used to pair the

receiver with your TV set or

beamer by choosing parame-

ters like resolution (576p, 720p

or 1080i), colour system (PAL

or NTSC) as well as signal types

CVBS or RGB for those using a

scart connection.

Naturally, you can also deﬁne

whether your TV is 4:3 or 16:9,

so that the receiver sends the

correctly formatted signal via

HDMI. Furthermore, the inter-

nal clock can be set manually or

synced with satellite data.
