Fusion: Freeview with PVR

net1

A new Freeview STB from Fusion includes a PVR type playback facility. The FRT 101 can receive 30 TV channels and 20 radio stations and can give a 30 sec instant playback.

The Digifusion FRT101 includes seven day onscreen TV listings for the week ahead through the Multi Guide. This graphical user interface is unique to Fusion's products, creating quick and easy navigation through weekly electronic TV programme listings and synopses.

The unique 'Rewind TV' feature enables users to re-watch the last 30 seconds of the programme the box has been tuned to. The receiver has twin scarts on the rear panel creating easy connections to TV and VCR, as well as twin phono sockets allowing high quality audio to be fed to a home cinema system. Being DVB-T compliant, the FRT101 receiver meets digital broadcasting standards.

Barry Rubery, CEO of Fusion Digital Technology commented, "Providing products with unique features such as 'Rewind TV' further enhances the viewing experience, especially for sporting events such as the Olympics, clearly differentiating us from the competition. By keeping this set top box at the same entry level price, it will be the obvious choice for consumers wanting Freeview channels."
