At first I said that this is not a classic HDTV satellite receiver, is a Media Center based on Linux.
The connection to youtube like to iRadio requires internet but it works to perfection, even we can bring together the different radio stations to order them to our liking.
The media player is very powerful and can with a lot of formats including MKV. In addition to movie player, music, photos and a browser, the tuner also has an RSS reader and file manager.
We return again with the viewing of television, where the channel is incredibly quick, impressive picture quality not only in the HD channels but also in SD.
In addition to viewing satellite television channels, the receiver has recording options (with EPG, recording manually or set a timer recording).

Welcome to the Frontpage
Once past the fair Matelec bring more news about the new AZbox HD receivers. We have begun to clear the differences between the Premium and the Elite model. The younger brother of the new series is the Elite, their most important specifications are as follows:
- Dual tuner modules. Leads to two tuners so that you can view one channel while recording another, to be modular, we can easily change the tuners because they are plug and play.
- Wireless network "Ethernet" that serve to connect us to our local network and be able to surf the Internet, mail, watch videos on youtube, news, RSS and even share a hard disk of a computer from where you can play movies, music, images and to record the programming that we are seeing in the receiver.
- 2 PCMCIA slot and a card holder to use our / s card / s subscription to a pay TV providers.
- 2 USBS that allow us to connect an external hard disk to perform all sorts of features and update the receiver.
- 1 HDMI (480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i), 1 RCA, 1 YUV, optical digital audio output and analog and 1 port RS232.
The model "Premium" has the same features but these details:
- Possibility to connect an internal hard disk.
- In addition to the Ethernet card also features a wireless card to be able to connect to our local network without the need to wire the house.
The operation of these receptors is similar to the Dreambox so that we can add functionality via plugins such as playing videos from Google Video or any other site, p2p, or downloads from megaupload rapidshare and anything we can imagine.
We have told us that the first units began to arrive throughout the month of November, albeit on a limited basis and will be sent to many betatesters so they can polish them before leaving the sale. Now for Christmas will be when we start to have at our disposal to be able to make a good gift ...
The next will be that we can enjoy the HD AZbox Premium model, it differs primarily from its big brother the HD Premium AZbox that has ability to connect an internal hard drive and built a wireless network card in addition to the Ethernet port so about coming to cost about 300 € = USD $386.43
Combo versions of both models are going to take longer to leave the sale and now have no definite date. Meanwhile, if we want to use one of these two models satellite as a combo, the versatility of these receptors would enable us to do so because as has 2 tuners for satellite interchangeable, you can remove a satellite and put a tdt.
The sale prices to the public are not definitive and that could vary slightly at the end but at least we have some guidance.

Wouldn't it be something if the STBs were capable of playing MKV H264
