conaxsat cnx mini pvr Standard Definition USB 2.0 SINGLE TUNER PVR FTA Satellite Receiver

Design & Features Review

The Conaxsat Mini PVR gives the user 1 USB port for upgrading along with the usual RS232 port. With a new streamlined look, the hardware and software of the Conaxsat Mini and the rest of the Conaxsat line offers an almost unrivaled media experience.

The Conaxsat CNX Mini PVR includes basic PVR (Personal Video Recorder) functionality. You're able to Record, play MP3's, Photos/Images and upgrade Factory Firmware or channel master via USB. The major diference between this reciever and the Conaxsat Duo is that the Conaxsat Mini has only one USB port while the Conaxsat Duo has two USB ports. Also the Conaxsat Duo has more advanced PVR features.

The Conaxsat Mini PVR's 32bit ARM946 RISC Processor will have you performing multiple functions and flipping through channels with the greatest of ease. The Conaxsat CNX Mini PVR also houses 4MB of flash memory as well as 32MB of system memory.

Other notable features include programmable 5,000-channel (TV and radio) capacity, programmable channel list, S-Video out, Component out, and digital audio.

If you don't need Dual Tuner PVR functionality or High-Definition reception, the Conaxsat Mini PVR is a great choice of third-generation FTA satellite receivers. And the price is remarkable.

What's In The Box: The Conaxsat CNX Mini PVR ships with a Diseqc 2.0 Switch, universal remote, audio/video cables, (2) AAA batteries, and Conaxsat Mini PVR User Manual.

If you're in the market for a dual tuner FTA satellite receiver, you should definitely check out the versatile Sonicview SV-360 Elite PVR, which is a true dual tuner, has 3 USB 2.0 ports, and costs only a few dollars more than the single-tuner Viewsat VS Pro and Conaxsat Duo.

The price-for-features of the Sonicview SV-360 Premier PVR, plus Sonicview's stellar reputation for accessibility and support means that either of the Sonicview models is likely the best choice for you, depending on your budget and exactly which features you need.
