The power and sata cable is already connected inside the receiver so one thing less to worry about.Ī 3.5″ hard drive just fits if you want to use a 2.5″ hard drive you would probably need to buy a 3.5/2.5″ adapter mounting kit. It is just a matter of taking the cover of and you then have the hard drive mounting plate in the center of the receiver.

PVR – Recording tv on the Unibox HD2 PVR install If you are into hunting down feeds you will appreciate the blind scan function all though we have not tested how good it is working.īoot speed wise we clock the Unibox HD2 at 65 seconds. A faster CPU perhaps would have shown its power in this area. The web browser is not super snappy to use while Hbb-TV seems a bit faster. We found all channels without any issues. The DVB-C scan is very fast if you enable network scan. Picture quality is good and there is good driver support in the Egami Image for various usb devices wlan or usb tuners. Also this receiver does not support HD PiP. Here we could reproduce crashes if we did a swap services. Where we did have some issues was using the Picture in Picture mode. The menus and zapping seem pretty fast and in general the receiver feels stable.
The trend seems to be going in the direction of external ones but still some might prefer the internal option for less clutter outside the receiver. Granted it is not the 1300 MHz of the most recent receivers released but then again Enigma2 is not optimized for those fast CPUs so for daily use not a big issue.Īs you can tell from the image the Unibox HD2 has an internal power supply. Inside the Venton UNiBOX HD1 we find a 400 MHz MIPS processor , 512MB NAND Flash and 512MB DDR SDRAM. Do remember that the Unibox HD2 is not CI+ certified if you need that for your DVB-T2 channels like in some Nordic countries. It is very positive to see Venton offering DVB-T2 tuners as we often only see Enigma2 vendors supplying DVB-T tuners. Our review unit came with DVB-S2 and DVB-C but you can do any other combination of DVB-S2, DVB-C and DVB-T2. Also included behind the front flap is a front mounted USB connection.Īs the Unibox HD2 is a pluggable dual tuner receiver you can setup you tuners as you wish. It is very easy to read also from a distance.Īs you can see the Unibox HD2 is also a step up from the Unibox HD1 when it comes to card readers and ci slots. In the middle of the front we find a 12 character alphanumeric display. The fact that Venton decided to go with touch buttons adds to the high end impression of the Unibox HD2. The size of the Unibox HD2 is 320 x 58 x 230 mm.Įmbedded in the front as touch buttons are a standby button and navigational buttons, so basic controls are available without the remote. Actually it is just plastic but it looks great. The Unibox HD2 is very stylish and gives a high end brushed aluminium impression.
