[QUOTE="rato, post: 510813, member: 193950"] The STB is a Phillips DSR 7131/24. It comes neatly packed in a box inside a outer cover that has the Meo info. [ATTACH]25788.IPB[/ATTACH] The 7131comes with HDMI connector for digital signal. Scart output also included. For digital audio signal there is SPDIF optical & coaxial out, for analog there is audio L & R out via RCA output. There also exists for future use a USB and Ethernet connector. [ATTACH]16047[/ATTACH] The remote is very complete and neat. This STB does not come with a hard disk but the remote come with commands for recording. There might be a future upgrade for a connection of a HDD to the USB port. [ATTACH]16048[/ATTACH] The Meo card is Seca/Mediaguard(by Nagra France, a parent company of Kudelski), but might switch to the Nagravision encryption. The card goes in the right hand corner of the STB and is neatly covered by the CA embedded slot door. Activation sometimes takes 24 to 48 hours, but if you purchase on a Thursday, you might not get an activation for the weekend and only until Monday will the process the activation(not good). Tv Tel come pre-activated and takes about half an hour to activate the card. Tv Cabo is the same process as Meo(sometimes longer). [ATTACH]25792.IPB[/ATTACH] The interactive menu is simple to use.

[ATTACH]25793.IPB[/ATTACH] In comparison to the other Portuguese providers, Meo has a better image quality, due to the fact that this Phillps box is capable of having a better construction and higher quality rate in choosing its components and that Meo transmits with less redirection of the original signal.
