DVB-T2 DVB-S2 DVB-C

DVB-T2, the world’s most advanced DTT system, offers more robustness, flexibility and at least 50% more efficiency than any other DTT system. It supports SD, HD, UHD, mobile TV, or any combination thereof.
A Brief Introduction of DVB Standards:

• DVB = Digital Video Broadcast
• DVB - T = T for Terrestrial, that means you pick up the signals with a terrestrial aerial.
• DVB -S = S for Satellite, you pick up the signal from a satellite dish.
• DVB - C = C for Cable, a card like this can get signals from a cable fed system.

[ilkertr]

I bought it, android v6.

1. its dvb-s2 tuner Not so well, low quality tuner.
2. SD channel quality bad- HD so so.
3. channel transitions are slow on dvb-s tuner.
4. android v6 not stable:
   • sometimes it restarts for no reason after first reboot,
   • some app give error(not responsive-wait-stop) first load.
   • it restarts when I press the home button on the remote control .

[trebor]

Been awhile and have been waiting for the New A7 release
Today it has happened so we can have a Closer look at the Android side of things first.
Then DTV so far both looking pretty good I find.

Startup all good with Android 7, Setup, Login to Google, Play store Apps etc
Upper Notification and Lower Task bars are available
At this Stage No Root Access

All Moved along pretty smooth and no Problems
No Major heat problems Hight 70'S when pushed with testing
Lets have a look at what we have...

UI and Installed Apps



System Information



DRM Info L3


CPU-Z




Ram and Storage Truth



GeekBench CPU More Info > http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/6784661


Geekbench Compute

DTV side of things,
I only have DVB/T to test and show and all happened pretty smooth I found
No major problems, just learning what key on remote does what etc so all Good.

Run the DTV APP and we get


Pick Mode required


Pick location


Auto Or manual Tune

Bits here in Manual I dont full understand so I went with Auto


After awhile maybe 3~5 minutes I could see I had all channels in then hit Escape to stop



All Channels scanned and looking ok,
Screen cap does not Capture TV that is shown so far that I have found
All Channels in and looking good HD and SD,
A slight sync with Audio/Video for 1 or 2 seconds if that when you change channel
But once locked in no problems found,
Running around 90% Sig and Quality helps to have a good Antenna for FTA TV.

Looks ok for the price & nice to see its been updated to android 7

Upper Notification and Lower Task bars are available

[trebor]

As mentioned where you see Black, TV image is showing locally, No TV screencap

Menu on remote gives you all the actions for settings PVR etc



Program Manage


Add Favorites etc


7 Day EPG



PVR Manager reads what you have recorded on USB Stick


When you select record queries amount of minutes you require to record.


A recorded bit of TV music replace due to the circle C
