Some example of the LCD screen settings for ET8500

Can someone explain the transcoding and how that would affect this box, or the user, and their experience.

Thanks,

FP.

Transcoding is if you want to watch tv from your receiver when your away from home on your mobile phone / tablet etc.

Im really tempted to sell my et8000 and buy 1 of these.
Most important question for me is does it support transcoding?
Because ive started traveling alot and transcoding could be useful to me....or a slingbox.
Edit: Sorry im at work and only glanced over the thread, just seen the post that says it doesnt have hardware transcoding.

Still a very nice looking receiver though with an impressive LCD display.

I had both ET8000 + 10000 and transcoding aside (which I never used), although the ET8000 is a great, solid as a rock receiver, the ET8500 is (in my view) a much better designed receiver, with slide in HDD, great useable Lcd, upto 4 tuners with very easy access to the internals and multiboot (which for me) is a great undersold feature providing at minimum a backup image if "someone" screws up the latest greatest version
