Included is HDMI-CEC Support – BLIND SCAN Support – Videoenhacement Plugin – Web Interface – MyTube Player – FAN Setup – OSD 3D Setup – OSD Position setup – Cross EPG – Weather Plugin – ZDF Mediathek – WebMedia The Egami Image is a extended version of the stock image with multiboot option. Of course a stock firmware image is included when purchased but most will probably go for a third party image and there are multiple choices for the HD1. UNiBOX HD1 is a Enigma 2 based receiver but of course the Enigma brand is not used. The feel of the remote is not all plastic as there is a rubber feel to the back of the remote. Using the OpenAAF Image the record button is located as a long press on the stop button. Perhaps some miss a dedicated record button, the red button is used for this purpose and that is some way away from the other PVR buttons. The remote control provided by Venton is a good one with a logical button layout. It can be disabled inside the menu but it does not make that much noise.īatteries are of course included along with a power supply and a user guide in English and German. There is an internal fan in the receiver as you can see on the rear. There is no component video output but that is probably not connectivity that is missed by that many these days. Power connector for the external power supply.On the rear of the Venton Unibox HD1 we find: A per usual the built in card reader requires use of softcam software. Is is very positive that we have a 8 character alphanumeric display on the front as it is always great to be able to read the channel name and not just a number or nothing at all.īehind the front panel we find 1 built in card reader and a CI slot for a common access module and beside these a front mounted USB connection. On the front we have a standby button and in the center inside a silver circle buttons for basic control of the receiver.
#UNIBOX HD1 IMAGE SERIES#
It is the cheapest receiver in the Venton HD series so of course the design and material is not high end still not bad looking at all. The design is in classic black with a rounded shiny front. Inside the Venton UNiBOX HD1 we find a 400 MHz MIPS processor , 512MB NAND Flash and 512MB DDR SDRAM which is very decent amount wise.
In this review we take a closer look at the single tuner receiver which is also PVR ready. The product for this review was provided by the distributor of the Venton products MultiKom-DeltaSat. The single tuner HD1, Twin Tuner HD2 and Triple Tuner HD3. Venton has 3 receivers on the market right now. Venton out of Germany is another fairly new player in this market. There is a lot of competition on the Linux set top box market.
