Plextor Europe has announced its first digital TV tuner, the ConvertX PX-DVBT100U. Along with the ability to watch digital TV anywhere, this pocket sized device doubles as a PVR, allowing users to save TV or radio programs to their hard drive with real-time or scheduled recording.
Plextor launches its first Digital TV tuner that enables users to watch digital TV anywhere via their laptop/PC. The Plextor ConvertX PX-DVBT100U doubles as a recorder - turning any laptop into a PVR - enabling digital terrestrial TV or radio programmes to be saved to the hard disk drive with real-time or scheduled recording.
Expanding the company’s portfolio of personal & SMB storage, media player, video converter devices and optical drives, Plextor’s pocket-sized gadget is ideal for ‘Freeview on the move’. Just the size of a memory stick, it is perfect for people who are increasingly carrying around laptops for entertainment and business purposes.
For free-to-air Digital TV and free-to-air Digital radio, simply run the software, connect via USB2.0, attach the supplied antenna and it’s ready to go with Plug & Play.
As well as recording Digital TV programmes for playback, it can schedule your recordings via an easy navigation EPG with daily, weekly or once-only options. Also the time-shifting functionality means you can play, pause, record, stop, fast forward and rewind TV programmes.
In addition to providing full DVB-T support, it is even ready for the new terrestrial HDTV service. It comes complete with a remote control and users can choose to watch in a scalable window or full screen view.
The Plextor ConvertX PX-DVBT100U will be available from mid-October 2008 at Plextor’s network of dealers.
