Panasonic DMR-HW220 (2012) PVR/Digital Recorder in CARDINIA, Victoria for sale

Includes remote control and cables to connect to TV.
The DMR-HW220 sports a pull-down fascia flap, which here reveals nothing more than a USB port and SD card reader. Rear-panel connections comprise a single HDMI output, digital optical audio, stereo phonos and Ethernet. For those without a switch or adapter, Wi-Fi is built-in.
The DMR-HW220 packs a massive 1TB hard drive, enough for 259 hours of HD. It also features twin tuners and can record from both simultaneously; you can also start playback before a recording has finished.
The user interface is less intimidating, elegantly balancing the copious configuration options with some graphical flourishes. The EPG includes a live TV window.
Panasonic’s other online offerings are more compelling. There’s a wide range of IPTV services available, including BBC iPlayer, Netflix, DailyMotion, Fetch TV, Acetrax and YouTube. There are also social media apps for Facebook and Twitter, photo sharing and fully integrated Skype (optional Skypecam required).
It also offers multimedia file playback from USB and devices across the network. The DMR-HW220, which acts both as a DLNA client and renderer, offers excellent support from USB, with MKV, AVI, MOV and other codecs all accessible.
You can also archive TV material from the HDD to USB, should the 1TB drive not be enough for you.
The deck’s picture performance is excellent. Hi-def recordings mirror transmission quality, and the unit's upscaling of SD fare is equally fine.
This PVR is also sympathetic to 3DTV owners, allowing AVCHD 3D home movies to be enjoyed along with stereophonic MPO format digital still pictures. There’s also the provision to render 2D programmes into faux 3D, although 3DTV owners will doubtless already have that capability.
Pick up only Clyde North.
