|
| Vestel's latest PVR model, the T7655, is now available from Argos. The Hitachi branded 500Gb model is currently listed at £169.99. The T7655 is very similar to the T7650 in every sense, but the unit is noticably smaller at 228x42x137mm, making it Vestel's smallest PVR to date. The smaller size made possible by a redesigned mainboard and use of a 2.5" SATA HDD, compared to the 3.5" drives used in previous models. One significent difference is that the T7655 uses Broadcom BCM3461 DVB-T2 demodulator chips, whereas previous models used Sony CXD2820R DVB-T2 demodulator chips. The Hitachi replaces the Bush 320Gb and 1Tb T7650 models, at Argos, which are being phased out and heavily discounted at £99.99 and £139.99 respectively, at the time of writing - get one while you can! The pricing of the newer T7655 is pretty optimistic, and the T7650 models are very similar in comparison, but far better value for money. Please note that the new Bush 500Gb Freeview+ HD recorder is made by another manufacturer and has nothing to do with Vestel. [Updated 9 Aug 2013] |
