This is where the wonderful
PVR comes into sight. 910HD
doesn’t just let you connect
an external HDD to USB or E-
SATA port, it already has one
inside. Our test model was
shipped with a 500 GB HDD,
which is quite large to handle
not just the PVR record-
ing, but also DivX movies
and MP3 music storage. But
while we focus on the PVR,
it’s worth noticing the “Enve-
lope” button, which lets you
access all the records in a
couple of clicks, and the won-
derful Timeshift option. Acti-
vate it in “Advanced Setup”
- “HDD setup” menu, and you
can feel the power of magic
- pause the live broadcast
in any moment, take care of
any urgent problems that all
of a sudden disturb you from
your favorite movie, and then
resume exactly from the same
place you left it! It’s also easy
to “rewind” the broadcast to
a special moment that you
want to see again. And you
don’t need to be a rocket sci-
entist to get used to all this,
everything is a matter of 1-2
clicks!
or as a slide show, which can
be programmed by press-
ing the yellow button. MP3
player greets the user with
a bit more advanced screen,
showing the regular music
player operating buttons, as
well as the currently played
track time and its bitrate.
And while no bad words
can be said about these two,
Video/DivX player still needs
some work to be done. In a
test movie, which played per-
fectly on our PC, 910HD didn’t
have the audio and video syn-
chronized. Video was 1-2 sec-
onds behind. Nevertheless, it
works, and the synchroniza-
tion issue will be adressed in
upcoming updates.
Multimedia
options
Since the firmware of
900HD/910HD is being con-
stantly developed, both boxes
now offer possibility to play
both audio and videofiles, as
well as display photos, stored
either on an external HDD or
USB memory stick, or on the
internal HDD in 910HD, where
such files can be uploaded
over FTP (take the receiver’s
IP from “Advanced Setup” -
“IP setup” menu, use “root” as
a UserID, and “ipbox” as pass-
word) to “media” directory.
“Multimedia” submenu
also has some PVR functions
included, these are “Recorded
files” for the stored PVR
recordings, and “Recording
Schedule” for the old-fash-
ioned recording timer pro-
gramming. Remaining three
options are solely for the above
mentioned “outside” files.
Photos can be viewed either
individually, by double-clicking
their names with “OK” button,
