The TechniCorder ISIO S International Edition is available now from TechniSat Digital GmbH. The digital satellite receiver, recently nominated Product of the Year 2011/2012 in the category "HDTV receiver with hard drive" by the Czech technical magazine "Stereo & Video", is part of the top-end ISIO series from TechniSat, which combines HD television with the unbeatable interactivity of the Internet.
Interactive experience
Besides a standard HDTV twin tuner and an integrated digital video recorder, the TechniCorder ISIO S International Edition also has an unusual interface. The HDTV digital satellite receiver also has a wide range of internet functionality, enabling access to IP-based interactive services, such as media libraries and video-on-demand, as well as unrestricted web browsing. This enables the television viewer to step into the interactive world of the World Wide Web from the comfort of the living room sofa. To do so, the device just needs to be connected to an existing internet connection and the user can enjoy the unlimited possibilities that interactive television offers. This includes HbbTV, which delivers additional information or multimedia content in parallel with the programme being shown. TechniSat's own ISIO Live! portal provides the user with numerous services such as internet radio broadcasts.
Comprehensive spectrum of services
The TechniCorder ISIO S receives free channels in SD and HD quality. The HDTV receiver also has two Common Interfaces (CI+) to make it ready for Pay TV. Of course, the top-end satellite receiver can also be used as a digital video recorder. The TechniCorder ISIO S International Edition has a 1TB hard disk. The Timeshift function enables you to enjoy timeshifted viewing. This means you can start watching a programme while it is still recording and so become your own programme director.
Multimedia centre function
The integrated network interface (via either Ethernet or WLAN adapter) makes it easy for the TechniCorder ISIO S to be set up as a multimedia centre in the home network. This means that the device can be networked to various multimedia devices such as PCs, TVs, sound systems, digital cameras etc and integrated as both a UPnP server and client, thanks to UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) technology. Thus multimedia content such as videos, pictures and music can be easily shared between devices connected to the network (e.g. PCs).
3-year warranty on product registration
As with all TechniSat products, emphasis is placed on ease of use, high quality materials and user convenience with the TechniCorder ISIO S. The digital satellite receiver, developed in Germany, is available in stores now in black. Anyone who registers the receiver with TechniSat after purchasing will receive a 3-year warranty instead of the standard two-year warranty.
