Product Details

DViCO TViX-2230 Ultimate HD Compact Media Player, Digital High Definition Set Top Box and PVR Jukebox

More DVico

The award winning manufacturer DViCO brings you the smallest personal video recorder with time-shifting capabilities and High Definition Digital Set Top Box on the market. With up to 1080i HDMI output, you will also enjoy high definition quality photos, movie and music files direct on your TV. You can also benefit from finally recording all those video tapes from the old camcorder onto one HDD when installed. The massive multimedia functions, such as slideshows with music, DVD jukebox and many more give this player endless functionality. The clean, simple user interface makes navigating around all that the R2230 has to offer is a joy. A must have for any gadget lover!

The R2230 will receive and record all types of terrestrial digital broadcasting signals. Just plug in your TV antenna cable and start watching High Definition Digital programming. You can watch it now or later, or simply pause live TV and carry on where you left off when ready! The DViCO TViX PVR R2230 is one such gadget, offering much more than merely TV recording. In fact, it's actually two devices rolled into one - a network media player and a PVR. Reap all the benefits this digital media centre can offer you while housed in a case smaller than your centre speaker.

High Definition Digital Set Top Box

With built in DVB-T support and an antenna socket, you've got all you need to watch the new broadcasting format in High Definition. If you don't have a High Definition TV then this unit will downscale the signal to allow viewing.

1080i HD Recorder

An easy to use scheduler allows you to record your favourite shows simply by entering the time and date. If you want to record the same show each week, let the scheduler know that it's a weekly show and you need never program it again. It is just that easy!

HD Video Player

If real life intrudes upon your favourite TV show, hit the pause button and the R2230 will start recording on the fly. Hit pause again and it'll play back from where you left off, but now you'll be able to skip through ad breaks. Time shifting allows you to rewind a live show by up to four hours (even more if you change the default setting), and then play it back frame by frame. It's a perfect feature for those sporting moments when you know the umpire got it wrong, and require blow-by-blow analysis.

Real-Time One Touch Recording

By installing 2.5" HDD hard drive or connecting to any USB storage device, the R2230 gives you ability record with various features like direct recording, scheduled recording through EPG (Electronic Program Guide). You can easily upgrade and expand the capacity of HDD like PC up-grading, it can back up the recorded files to or from the PC, Digital Camera or TV programs. It will also support movie files from Blu Ray DVDs such as VOB and ISO files. With the TViX PVR you are able to record your favourite programs by setting the scheduler, and with your weekly shows you just change the cycle. All you need to do is set the time once and forget about it!

Time-Shifting

Pause and replay live-broadcasting HDTV shows by simply pressing the pause button and then pick up right where you left off. The TViX PVR provides various file playback functions such as pause, instant replay, time-shifting with the scroll bar, fast-forward, rewind and so forth.

Q:
I have installed a 2.5 inch WD 500GB S-ATA drive but the system doesn't seem to recognize it. When I try the disk check it just says "Disk check failed" after a couple of seconds. Is there anything I can do to diagnose the issue?

I have physically installed it twice to confirm that the connections are firm and the HD Guide is fitted snug. I have no idea if the disk is formatted or how long the unit would take to format the disk. Is there any indication other than the disk check as to what is the issue?

  Hi,
  I had the same problem with my HD. You need to format it first in the NTFS file system before the unit will be able to recognise the drive. I hooked my unit up to my computer via USB and downloaded HP USB disk formatting tool to format the drive. Just google it, there should be heaps of links to download. Hope this helps.

Q:
Hi,
I'm thinking about purchasing this product, but was wondering about the PVR function. If I already have a HD tuner in my tv and watch one channel ,can I record another channel in HD using the box if its hooked up to the TV's AV. In other words , can I get away with not having a twin tuner PVR recorder?

  You would have to purchase a splitter amplifier for your Antenna, so you could feed reception into the Dvico and also into your television.
  
  Note that if the splitter isn't amplified, it may reduce the quality of your reception.

- A:
  To answer your question I just tried it on one I bought last week.
  
  Yes, you can record the analog signal. But, considering the expected life of the analog TV signal it may not be a benefit for long.
  
  The digital signal also carries the channels programme guide allowing you to quickly set a recording. The analog signal does not, so you will need to manually set the record times or hit the 'Record' button and record as you watch.

  It should pickup all freeview stations. If it picks up Nine Go here in Sydney, there is no reason why it should not pickup Win Go in the rural areas. Please check the aerial or antenna you are using if it's digital compatible , if not, it can effect the ability of the product to find all stations.

2) Does it have network port i.e. can we connect it to ethernet on home LAN? or what do you mean by "Network Media Player"

reason why I asked those questions is because your description is missleading. see 2nd paragraph.

  You can attach any external USB hard drive (or other device) to it, however, I don't believe you can record to that hard drive, only view content from it. I am going to add a question about this.
  
  Yes, you can pickup and watch any channel on any TV.
  
  Your final question seems to suggest that you're hoping to use the device essentially like a graphics card to connect to your TV. So no, you cannot. It is used to read files from your computer, hard drive, etc. You could, however, download files from YouTube if you wanted to play them back later on your TV. I use www.keepvid.com.
