Freedom of choice
Do you feel that there is nothing to watch on TV? Are you sure? Every day new channels are being aired all around the globe. LyngBox is the only set top box that is connected to the number one source of satellite information — LyngSat Network — and therefore has the unique ability to provide you with daily updates on channels, programs and show times. You never have to worry about channels changing positions and tedious channel searches are a thing of the past. In addition, the LyngBox connects you to the growing digital terrestrial TV offerings available in most countries. The question to ask is no longer “what is on?” but simply “what do I want to watch today?”
Selected Simplicity
Created from a user point of view – with the demanding consumer in focus – explains why it is so easy to get the most out of the LyngBox. We offer you an incredible feature range without compromising the simplicity you are seeking in managing your receiver.
Remote recording
With remote access to the LyngBox over the Internet you can record programs even when you are away from home. This means you can schedule what to record when you are at work, out traveling etc. Simply select from the huge range of channels that your LyngBox gives you access to and the programmes of your choice will be stored on the built-in hard drive.
Your LyngBox is more than that…
The LyngBox enables you to enjoy viewing digital photo’s on TV instead of a PC, and if you have a high-definition screen then your pictures will be as clear as reality itself. Storing your photo’s and movies as high-quality, compressed, files on the LyngBox hard-drive is a convenient, flexible, and space-saving solution. If you need more storage it’s simplicity itself – just plug in a USB compliant memory source.
LyngBox a HDTV receiver
Do you want to get the most out of your HDTV set? The LyngBox supports standard and high definition for watching and recording. It can manage both the older MPEG-2 standard and the newer MPEG-4.
With the LyngBox you don’t have to worry how your favourite channels are transmitted. Whilst the LyngBox is state-of-the-art for compatibility with all the latest peripherals, it is equally usable with older equipment.
The receiver supports technical standards such as:
- DVB-T for terrestrial transmissions
- DVB-S2 for satellite transmission
- Decoding of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC in HDTV resolutions
- Digital HDMI connectivity to your TV
- Dolby Digital
- JPEG
Usability for everyone
The LyngBox is designed to suit users with varying levels of technical interest. Both novice and advanced users will be amazed by the simplicity of installing and updating channels, and by the possibilities for controlling recordings remotely from any PC. The advanced user will inevitably be drawn to the huge range and variety of information that can be accessed with the press of a button, such as FEC, SID, PID etc.
Automatic channel updates
What makes the LyngBox so easy to use and operate, and is also the source of a great variety of information, is the integration with LyngSat Network. LyngSat Maps is used to calculate which satellite signals can be received and directs the LyngBox to download channel information for the available satellites from LyngSat. The information is updated daily. You will always have the latest channels and won’t have to suffer when your favourite channel changes its’ transmission configuration.
Remote recording
The integration with LyngSat Guide gives you easy access to TV guides for a great number of channels. When browsing the guide with the LyngBox you have access to one-touch recording. LyngSat Guide can also be reached on the web using a regular PC. If you logon with your LyngBox id you can remotely control recordings for your own LyngBox at home. This means you can schedule what to record when you are at work, out travelling etc. Simply select from the huge range of channels that your LyngBox gives you access to and the programmes of your choice will be stored on the built-in hard drive.
Photographic brilliance
The LyngBox enables you to enjoy viewing digital photo’s (JPEG) on TV instead of a PC, and if you have a high-definition screen then your pictures will be as clear as reality itself. Storing your photo’s and movies as high-quality, compressed, files on the LyngBox hard-drive is a convenient, flexible, and space-saving solution. If you need more storage it’s simplicity itself — just plug in a USB compliant memory source.
