The Amstrad DRX890
(PVR5) is the latest Sky+HD Digibox to the market.
It's design matches the existing HD models except
for being slightly smaller, with its dark black
curved shape and matching remote. The unit
contains the larger *500GB capacity hard drive for
recording even more of your favourite programmes
with Sky+ (Sky+ requires an active subscription to
Sky), allowing you to record up to 185 hours of SD
and 60 hours of HD. *250GB personal storage; the
remaining 250GB is retained by Sky for
Anytime/VOD/3D services. Exists in 1TB - one
terrabyte - version, please specially request if you
want larger disc space. The HD television gives you up to
5 times the picture sharpness & quality of normal
television. You will experience lifelike images so
real it's like your television is a crystal clear
window on the world. this decoder is 3D
capable and I can say it is a television
revolution that will be bigger then the transition
from black & white to color possibly even the
creation of TV itself.
To get the full
benefit of this technology your TV screen must be a
digital one, having a resolution of minimum 1920 x
1080 pixels and accepting digital video flux via a
HDMI port in 3D format.
This Amstrad Sky+ HDb box is
made to be used with a Sky Subscription card. To benefit
from the Sky+ functionality, or subscription HD
channels (HD Mix) you must pay a subscription. Alternatively without a card
you can still receive all free HD channels, such
as BBC HD, ITV1 HD, Luxe HD and C4 HD (C4 HD
currently requires a Sky FTV card). You are under no
obligation to take out a subscription, or HD Mix
(£10 per month).
Please note that the Sky+ record functionality is
free, but only available to those with a new or
existing Sky subscription. (this also
applies to recording free channels.The recording function requires two cables
run from the dish and a TWIN LNB/feed. ( it can work on
a single coax but you are limited in your recordings
to one channel at a time ! ) Existing dishes can be re-used for HD. Our
team of experienced engineers will connect it for
you, program and tune it for safe and trouble-free
operation.
