Twin HDTV Tuner
with network functionality
This multimedia twin tuner is an interesting model because including the browser plugin (WebZeal), a YouTube application, the ability to (future development) plugins to install, and it is possible to exchange tuners.
By default, this receiver is equipped with two DVB-S tuners, but it is easy to change into a DVB-T or DVB-C receiver, or a combination thereof!
As with any linux receiver, it is possible to change the appearance of the receiver (on the screen) to change through so-called "skins" via internet download. The RE-8500HD PVR has all the features you can expect a modern twin tuner, including the possibility of internal HDD (2.5 inch).

1W energy consumption in "deep sleep" standby
* WebZeal comments:
The RE-8500HD PVR comes with WebZeal v1.4 "pre-installed". This should, for stable use, to be upgraded to version 1.6 (downloadable from the website Rebox), and provides web browsing functionality (http and https sites). For this update procedure our downloadable guide!
No support for Flash Player, Mediaplayer, ActiveX, and "driven site" plugin installations.
Peripherals:
The RE-8500HD PVR is to use a wireless keyboard. The Microsoft Arc model simplifies the type work within web pages, such as entering search within a search engine like Google, or filling out web forms, such as a contact.
Entering URLs, setting bookmarks, home page etc, should be done using the remote i.c.m. the virtual "on screen" keyboard.
The Rebox 8500HD PVR is actually a good receiver. Price Technically interesting in terms of ease and certainly not wrong. When new software is downloaded over the Internet and on a usb stick to the recipient is offered, the recipient sees this immediately and ask for an update to be performed. The same happened with the plugins, if a plugin has to be added. Recording and playback is fine, even with multiple channels simultaneously. Web browsing and youtube should get used and do you prefer a separate keyboard (the remote is just inconvenient, but it works) but can never replace a PC. The built-in card reader may be fine to use the canal digital card and various other types of cards.
A disadvantage might be called the format, but standard audio format receivers we never really. It remains a linux receiver, but will be fully managed by the software developers in Korea. Of the Dutch importer we have never had a hat on, but fortunately the support of a number of wholesalers more than enough for a good support to expect.
