It has eight modes that offer a wide variety of recording options you can choose from. The lowest possible recording mode can pack a 428 hour video on its hard disc.

The chasing playback option allows you to watch the beginning of what you are recording while you record the end part of it. The EPG or the Electronic Programming Guide feature lets you schedule recordings according to your preferences.

The twin HD tuner is this PVR’s star feature. It enables the user to record not just a single channel but two channels at the same time. You can also watch another channel while recording another. This PVR offers gigabyte storage space for your recordings.
