The first set-top able to receive both the satellite and terrestrial versions of New Zealand’s Freeview platform, has launched, only just in time for Christmas.
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.
