Review of DishTV satBox S7070r

Brought this the other day and just sharing some thoughts:

Pros
  • It uses Freeviews Mheg-5 EPG (and adds new Freeview channels automatically)
  • I love the recording - it can record a channel then you can watch another channel on the same mux (so record a TVNZ channel and watch the others), also you can start recording then start "chasing" the recording.
  • You select programs to record from the EPG
  • HDMI (only 576i output tho, but hey its only SD anyway)
Cons
  • You must get the lastest firmware to get rid of some bugs (you must get v1.20 from the suppliers website below)
  • USB is on the back ( a pain to plug/unplug device) but handy to keep it away from kids
Rating FIVE out of FIVE (with the current firmware) - its a great DVB-S device, nice and simple and the recording features are awesome as it should be!
Check out the suppliers website
