MDR-240 Media Alert
TVonics launches first next-generation set-top box
TVonics launches MDR-240, first STB in retail to meet new Government requirements
17th August 2009
TVonics, the British digital TV switchover specialist, today announces its new MDR-240 set-top box (STB) will be the first Freeview receiver available to consumers in retail that meets the latest requirements set out by the Government..
With the switchover to digital television taking place across the UK until 2012 it is imperative that consumers have access to products and services they can trust. The TVonics MDR-240 meets all the new ‘Core Receiver Requirements’ and is designed to last the life of the TV it converts. It won’t get overloaded with information it can’t process and will retune when necessary, meaning that the MDR-240 responds to broadcast information that tell it that a retune is needed. This means that you will automatically be prompted to retune your box when required, so you don’t have to worry that your TV viewing will be interrupted.
The TVonics MDR-240 will be available by early September from John Lewis and Comet as well as the TVonics website, www.tvonics.com. Estimated retail price £45.00 (retailer dependent) and with others coming on board later in the year, all of us that owns a TV set with a SCART connection will be able to easily connect to, and receive, Freeview’s digital television and radio services.
