1 Introduction
1.1 HDTV PVR Function
The TVX-HD PVR can play HDTV broadcasts without a digital TV
set-top box, with excellent and super-clear pictures on HDTV
screens. The TVX-HD PVR supports standard DTV features,
such as EPG and Time-shifting.
Time-shifting is a function that allows the user to record broadcasts, and save them in a
storage device so that they can be viewed at a more convenient time for the user. When you
are interrupted while watching a live TV program (such as picking up phone calls &
answering the door), all you need to do is simply press the OK button to freeze the picture
for a period of time, and then press OK again later in order to restart it from where you have
left off. Note: You cannot use the DTV time-shifting on FAT32 partitions, so we recommend
that you format your SATA HDD to NTFS.
The TVX-HD PVR has various recording features, including direct recording, scheduled
recording, and repeated manual recording, to help the user not to miss a any programs on
digital TV. It's a completely different type of PVR since you can easily upgrade and expand
the HDD capacity yourself, which is similar to PC upgrading. And you can back up recorded
files to/from a PC. In case of dual tuner, you can watch other channels while recording a
program of your choice.
TVX-HD PVR implements DTV features such as EPG-scheduled recording and connection
to PC, to let the user enjoy all the dainty bits of digital broadcasting as well as supreme
audio and video qualities. You can set up scheduled recording and scheduled watching
using the EPG window.
When using the DTV mode, you can easily reserve for sleep mode time with the FUNCTION
key. If the sleep mode is enabled while it is still recording something, the TVX-HD will shut
down after it finishes recording. In the file list mode, the FUNCTION key performs the File
copy/delete and password functions.
DVICO Inc has no responsibility for recorded programs or files made or distributed for any illegal purposes.
The party or parties who record or distribute contents bear all the l responsibility (Civil or Criminal) direct or
indirect.
