Hyundai’s AH-3110 can receive the HD UHF service as well as the satellite version, while also having the ability to record from either service by connecting to an external USB HDD. Programmes can be recorded in high-definition quality from the DTT version.

The box also has time-shift, live pause features and full EPG support.

Sme Freeview channels are only available on one or other of the platforms, such as Chinese TV 8 and TV Central only on the UHF service and Stratos, CUE and Te Reo only on the satellite service. The box can also receive the 30+ free-to-air channels available on the Optus D2 satellite.

The box costs NZ$579.
