Our tests.
Here at Satellite Superstore we do not introduce a new receiver to our product range without extensively testing
it first. Here are the results of the tests. SD and HD picture quality – excellent – as good as it gets.
Recording on the hard drive. Works like a Sky + and Sky HD in that it has many similar trick play facilities
like live pause etc. Playback of HD files in full HD – no problems – perfect recordings.
No. of channels. Linux boxes tend to be virtually unlimited. With other makes they can exceed 20,000 channels
which is 3 times the number available in the Sky on a standard motorized dish.
Menu structure – easy to use. Build quality - excellent - see picture. Software support - good.
Alpha numeric display on the front of receiver details channel names and menu information. Picture in picture.
(See screen shot below) Can play back MP3, picture and DIVX, (video), files from it’s internal hard drive using
the music or photo button on the handset. Files can be loaded into the internal drive using an FTP program.
It can also play back MP3 files and display pictures that are on the internal drive inside your PC providing
the PC is connected to the same network 2 cam slots and 2 card readers – the card readers can be configured
with 3rd party software but please note that we can’t support info. on 3rd part software.
Web interface – control the receiver from any computer. Stream video to any computer.
Conclusion. This is the first high definition Linux twin tuner PVR we have seen and it is a first class
flagship model. Very impressed.
(Essentially the same hardware as the AB Ip Box, Differently badged with a slightly different
format front panel. Interchangeable software - otherwise the same. Same 500Gb hard drive.)
