Humax release PVR-9200TB: Freeview Playback dual tuner PVR
Humax has once again upgraded its PVR-9200T Freeview PVR, this time renaming it as the PVR-9200TB.
It claims to be one of the first Freeview Playback digital TV recorders on the market, sporting a 160GB hard drive, and comes with a number of nifty features including schedule tracking and auto-buffering.
It has two tuners, enabling two shows to be recorded, or one to be recorded while another is being watched live. Recording and scheduling is handled via the eight-day Electronic Programme Guide.
TVonics launch low-power DVR-FP250 Freeview PVR
Last year we reported on the (slightly more) eco-friendly TVonics DVR-150 PVR, and now the company has upgraded the specifications and released their DVR-FP250 Freeview PVR.
There’s a bigger hard drive — up to 250GB from 150GB — plus all the usual functionality of both Freeview, and a PVR, bundled in one box. It comes with two Freeview tuners.
The main selling point, then, is not so much the functionality which you’d find on any self-respecting PVR, but the fact that it’s using significantly less power to achieve the same results.
