Record Two Channels at Once - with Dual-tuner Recording
A dual tuner system allows one channel to be viewed while another is recorded simultaneously. Recordings save to a connected USB memory stick up to 128GB or an external hard drive up to 1TB.
Never miss overlapping programmes, and schedule recordings from the 7-day EPG for later viewing on the set-top box or a computer.
Pause and Rewind Live TV - thanks to Digital Timeshift via USB
Timeshift uses a connected USB drive to buffer live broadcasts so playback can be paused, rewound and resumed from the point of interruption. Recorded segments are stored on the USB or external drive for later playback.
Put the kettle on or skip adverts without losing your place, and resume programmes exactly where playback was paused.
Works with Old and New TVs - with HDMI, SCART and Coaxial Aerial Support
Standard coaxial aerial input receives DVB-T/T2 signals and the unit outputs video via HDMI for modern sets or SCART for older analogue TVs. No internet or subscription is required for channel reception.
Plug in and scan for channels to get up and running quickly, whether the TV is a recent smart set or an older model.
