Description
The DVB400 Set-Top-Box is a compact HD Freeview box with a sleek design that fits seamlessly into any room or caravan. August tech ensures it's simple to set up and use, with all necessary cables included. Offering full 1080p Freeview HD channels, PVR recording to USB, and live channel pause, this TV box lets you watch what you want when you want, so you'll never miss a program again.
To receive free-to-air Freeview channels, you need an existing rooftop or portable aerial. Plug your household aerial into the DVB400; the box will instantly scan for available channels. To enable recording, insert a USB 2.0 memory stick into the front USB slot, and you're ready to record your favourite shows.
Watch 1080p Freeview HD Channels
The August DVB400 Freeview Box Recorder allows you to enjoy a wide range of Freeview broadcasts without needing a subscription to services like Sky or Virgin Media. With its HDMI output connection, you can watch both standard Freeview and stunning HD channels, offering access to popular stations like BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4, C5, BBC News, and more.
This Freeview Receiver and Recorder is simple to set up and includes an HDMI cable as standard for instant connection to any modern TV. For older TVS, a SCART cable connection can also be used, ensuring compatibility across different setups.
Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)
With the EPG Feature, you can view and swiftly browse the television programmes coming up on any particular channel. You can quickly set up scheduled recordings or auto-change channels with programme schedules so you never miss your favourite show. Your favourite channels can be stored and customised for channel surfing and streamlining viewing.
Programme Recording to USB Stick
The August DVB400 box for TV recording features a Timeshift function, allowing you to pause and rewind live Freeview television. To use this feature and record shows, a USB memory stick is required, and a 32GB memory stick is included with the product, enabling you to start scheduling recordings immediately. Using removable USB storage, you can create a digital library of your favourite shows without worrying about running out of space—insert a new USB whenever needed.
With a USB plugged in, you can pause and rewind live TV with the Timeshift technology, or use the PVR system for live or scheduled recordings. The included USB stick is pre-formatted to NTFS, ensuring uninterrupted recordings. If you wish to use additional USB drives for recording, ensure they are also formatted to NTFS.
Settings and Video Outputs
The August DVB400 Set-Top Box offers versatile display options. You can set the aspect ratio to 16:9 Pan & Scan, 4:3 Full, 4:3 Letterbox, or 4:3 Pan & Scan. You can also adjust the resolution between 1080P, 1080i, 720p, and 576p, with the box automatically adapting to your television's settings. For video output, you can use the included HDMI cable to enjoy Freeview HD channels or opt for a SCART cable for older TV models, ensuring compatibility with almost any television.
Additionally, the DVB400 features a pin-controlled parental system. This system allows you to censor channels and requires an access code to view any blocked content, offering a customizable level of control over what can be accessed.
