satisfied, the following list
will definitely win you over:
There’s a built-in teletext
decoder, selection of audio
tracks and subtitles (if pro-
vided by the channel) and
dedicated button for chang-
ing the video resolution on
the go. What’s more, thanks
to a specific Timer button on
the remote you can imme-
diately access and edit up
to eight timer entries of the
HDT-127A.
Even though the model
name does not immediately
give it away, the Panodic
HDT-127A comes with a USB
2.0 connection on the front
panel and can therefore
easily be turned into a ful-
ly-fledged PVR receiver by
simply hooking up an exter-
nal storage medium.
When tested, all PVR func-
tions performed smoothly,
but we should mention at
this point that only one re-
cording can be made at a
time. It is, however, pos-
sible to watch a different
channel live, as long as it
is transmitted on the same
frequency as the recorded
channel.
We did like the remaining
recording time that is shown
whenever a recording is
started. This way you easily
find out whether or not the
entire recording will fit on
your storage medium, par-
ticularly when you use USB
sticks or the like with limited
storage capacity. We creat-
ed a total of eight timer en-
tries, all of which were com-
pleted and recorded with
absolute reliability by the
new Panodic mini receiver.
We have come to expect
that a modern PVR receiver
can play back MP3 and WMA
files, and it goes without
saying that the HDT-127A
easily meets this require-
ment and can be used as a
jukebox without further ado.
JPEG and BMP images are
also supported, so why not
use the tiny Panodic box for
your next slide show when
friends are over at your
place?
If you’re a movie buff you
can even download AVI,
MPEG, TS and DivX movies
from the Internet and play
them back with the HDT-
127A. We tried that feature
with SD and HD content and
can confirm that both were
processed flawlessly.
Panodic is always look-
ing to maintain its cutting
edge, which means their
firmware and operating
software are subject to con-
tinuous improvement. New
software can be copied into
a USB storage medium and
installed on the receiver

Expert Opinion
thanks to its USB connec-
tion.
And if those commercial
breaks seem to be dragging
on forever, why not kill time
with Othello or Sudoku, two
built-in video games?
The Panodic HDT-127A is
a small yet elegant DVB-T
receiver that will please the
whole family no end while
offering top-notch features
and functions. It passed our
test with flying colours and
turned out to be an abso-
lutely reliable performer.
