Volgens mij is de PDF die jullie zelf linken toch vrij helder in het verschil in specs tussen de 8455 en de 8450. Heb hieronder de verschillen gehighlight in rood, conclusie: de 8450 heeft een tuner meer en kan je opnames naar andere apparaten (lees PCs overzetten). De
Ziggo decoder kan dat dus helaas kennelijk niet (wel weer begrijpelijk vanuit druk van de content en DRM maffia).
Het enige dat ik niet begrijp is dat 'Provides two H.264 standard-definition or one high-definition HD decoder'. Begrijp ik nu goed dat het of twee SD decoders of maar één HD decoder betreft? Ergo: Kan ik nu wel twee programma's tegelijk opnemen in HD met dit ding of niet?
