Channel Master TV enables subscription free over-the-air HD broadcasts; provides full DVR functionality including the ability to pause, rewind and record live TV and watch one program while recording another; stores and manages personal media content; plus provides access to OTT web content such as On Demand Movies and TV shows through the integrated VUDU apps application. Channel Master TV is a one-of-a-kind solution as no device today offers integrated web content and OTA broadcast HDTV with a subscription free DVR. Channel Master TV was designed and engineered for aesthetics, ease-of-use and high-performance efficiency. The actual enclosure is made from durable, powder coated steel for a look that is as refined as the set-top box is sturdy. The front bezel is molded and made from a shatterproof, non-toxic material to protect it during an untimely fall. Reinforced connectors also ensure years of trouble-free usage, even when moved around and re-connected numerous times. Performance buffs will appreciate the fan-less design which allows Channel Master TV to operate silently, never deterring from the action on-screen or coming from the speakers. For the energy-conscious, a power saving standby mode reduces power consumption by over 95% compared to competitive solutions. Once out of the box, simply connect to a home’s HDTV antenna, HD television, and a power source, connect to the broadband network and the system is ready to use in a matter of minutes. A convenient USB port on the front of the box makes for easy uploading to the Channel Master TV hard drive, while rear antennas provide access to a home’s WiFi network.
Features
Channel Master TV combines the traditional TV viewing experience with broadband connectivity, popular applications and DVR functionality to bring a robust entertainment platform with no monthly subscription fee. Never before has a single set-top device provided access to so much content including over-the-air HD programming, On Demand movies and TV shows, web podcasts, social media sites, streaming music and a growing number of other content providers. With a 320 GB hard drive for up to 35 hours of HD recording or 150 of SD, users can record, pause and fast forward over-the-air television content, with dual tuners users can even record one program while watching another. Channel Master TV provides an intuitive Electronic Program Guide with advanced search features and parental control settings. Channel Master TV is not limited to just over-the-air and web-based content though. With onboard storage available, it can act as a personal media player as well serving many of the same functions as an entertainment PC. For instance, users can save personal media files on the internal Channel Master TV hard drive, play media files directly from a USB storage device and even entertain guests with a slide show of family photos while listening to personal music files. From social networking to network TV, personal media to streaming content and the many future applications in the works, Channel Master TV delivers an entertainment package that makes content management easier than ever before. Channel Master TV is the most advanced subscription free HDTV solution available, signaling the next phase of our TV watching experience.
Benefits
No device offers integrated web content and broadcast TV with a subscription free DVR. This one-of-a-kind solution enables OTA HD broadcasts while adding full DVR functionality including the ability to pause, rewind and record live TV. It also allows users to store and manage personal media content, plus access OTT web content through VUDU®, delivering On Demand Movies, TV shows and more. Once connected, the Channel Master TV user interface is cleaner and more intuitive than any cable DVR or program listing menu. Access to over-the-air TV listings and web applications is readily available via the main menu out so there is never any confusion when moving from one content source to the next. Accessing content from and programming the DVR is equally simple, done with just a few touches on the remote. Many consumers don't realize the highest quality HD broadcast content is already available, for free, over the air. As the economy continues to struggle, consumers are often left feeling like they are paying way more than they are getting, watching or even need. With Channel Master TV, consumers have the luxury of choosing what they want, when they want it, without sacrificing picture quality.
