The new TiVX 5010-P HD TV recorder is one unique and sleek PVR from DViCO. To start off this futuristic grey cylinder does not contain an internal hard drive but requires you to add your own external one via a USB port. I actually quite like the option of being able to add my own external hard drives as it makes for easy upgrades. But wait there's more; this HD TV recorder is more than just a weird looking PVR, it's also a media extender.
It can record videos in 1920 x 1080 resolution and stream files to and from a PC in a variety of video formats including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, (VOB, ISO and IFO), AVI, TP, WMV9. It can also send pictures and movies around the house too.
Other features include:
- An Electronic Program Guide to use on your TV
- ATSC hi-def television tuner
- DVI, component, S-Video and composite video outs
- 2x USB 2.0 ports for adding external disk drives
- A third USB port for other storage devices (e.g digital camera, MP3 player)
- fixed 10/100Mbps Ethernet or 802.11b/g WiFi
1. I would buy it in a heartbeat if the price tag wasn't so steep. At that price you have to start comparing it to the XBOX and the Apple TV. What r the pros and cons? Hear more from me: www.tellitlikeitiz.wordpress.com.
