Vestel T835 based PVRs first surfaced in November 2009 (Argos models appeared in January 2010), and are substantially different to
all previous models. The box/chassis is much smaller, largely thanks to an external PSU and slim SATA hard drive. The downside is that connectivity is reduced somewhat with only a single SCART socket. Unlike previous models, the tuners are built into the main PCB and as such there is just a single RF in/out socket on the back, so no need for the loopthrough cable which the old models required. Also, there is no RS232 socket, but software updates can instead be carried out via the SCART socket. The software used has the same interface as previous models with full Freeview+ support.
