"Samsung has entered the Freesat PVR market with an absolute cracker" What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision magazine.

Watch and record freesat HD TV and much more besides with the Samsung SMTS7800.

freesat HD TV gives you access to the major channels in glorious HD and dozens of others in SD, without the need to buy a subscription! Simply connect to a satellite dish and away you go. With up to 5 times the picture detail, HD TV images offer stunning realism, whatever the genre. Furthermore, the Samsung SMT-S7800 offers Full HD support. This means that as TV stations begin to offer Full 1080p resolution TV, the SMT-S7800 is ready for it.

Yet it's not just the ability to watch free HD satellite TV that appeals with the Samsung, it's the ability to record it, too. With a built-in 500GB hard drive, twin tuners and an 8 Day Smart Electronic Guide, it's possible to record up to 250 hours of your favourite programs, whilst watching other channels simultaneously. The built-in hard drive has the added advantage of letting you pause and rewind live TV.

Where the SMT-S7800 really scores over rivals, though, is in its easy access to the BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and YouTube. Simply connect to your home network hub via the standard Ethernet cable and you'll get the added flexibility of all this online content.

With an easy set-up guide and clear onscreen display, using the SMTS7800 is a joy. The compact dimensions also make it easy to place beside your TV. With a choice of HDMI or SCART it's easy to connect the set-top box to your TV, although to get the full benefits of HD TV you'll need to use the HDMI connection. To ensure the sound quality matches the picture, there's a choice of optical digital or RCA analogue audio outputs. Connect to your hi-fi system or AV home cinema system and enjoy top quality sound.

Break free from subscriptions and enjoy the best from web catch-up TV with the Samsung SMT-S7800. It's a win win choice!
