The Jiuzhou DTP2100 is a combination of
rock-solid DVB-T receiver and endless pos-
sibilities offered by the Android operating
system. Apart from flawless DVB-T reception,
this product therefore shines with numerous
multimedia features and allows installation
and use of almost all apps available from the
Googly Play marketplace. The build quality of
the DTP2100 is excellent and its design will add an elegant
touch to any TV rack. Thanks to 12V power supply this And-
roid receiver is perfectly suited for mobile use as well, or any
other place without a mains socket.
The labelling of keys on the remote control could be impro-
ved. No power supply for active antennas directly from the
antenna socket.
15
minutes of active use with TV, Internet, recording, playback,
etc., followed by 15 minutes in standby mode.
nal verdict we should like
to give you a brief overview
of the numerous configura-
tion options that are avail-
able with this Android-based
DVB-T receiver. On the one
hand these deal with Inter-
net and network access, and
on the other hand we’re talk-
ing about basic settings for
language, screen resolution
and app management.
While we did find the WLAN
option in the network menu
of the Jiuzhou DTP2100 we
were unable to activate
wireless Internet access
during our test. When we
looked at the hardware com-
ponents inside the casing
we could not detect a corre-
sponding chipset or antenna
either, which meant our test
receiver had to go online via
cable to our network.
As far as resolution is con-
cerned the DTP2100 offers
576
i and SECAM in standard
definition, as well as 720p
and 1080i in high definition.
Unfortunately, 1080p is not
available. The configuration
options are complemented
by language selection and
date and time settings.
It is here in particular that
it becomes evident how truly
global Android has become,
since you will find correct
entries for almost all corners
of the world.
Once apps have been in-
stalled on the receiver the
operating system can be set
to download updates as soon
as they are available.
In addition, installed apps
that are not required any
longer can easily be deleted
with a few commands sent
from the remote control.
Obviously, users can fac-
tory-reset the receiver in
case something goes wrong
or if they want to have a
fresh start with their box.
Even more helpful is the
possibility to save all set-
tings onto an external
storage medium, which is
something we genuinely ap-
preciate. This way it only
takes a couple of seconds to
restore the entire system if
worse comes to worst.
In a nutshell, we can con-
clude that combining a digi-
tal receiver with the Google
Android operating system
was a smart move by Jiu-
zhou. It seems to us that
this is the way to go towards
the future, and even for the
manufacturer this decision
comes with many advan-
tages: Jiuzhou can focus on
its core competence (DVB-T
reception in this case), while
Android covers all extra de-
mands by users.
The Jiuzhou DTP2100 was
the first Android receiver we
ever tested, and we can only
congratulate Jiuzhou on such
a successful implementation
of a groundbreaking idea.
Granted, there are some
software tweaks that need
to be looked at, but those
are peanuts and can easily
be rectified with one of the
upcoming software updates.
