Portugal's ZON intros ZON BOX HD DVR {Engadget HD}

May 22nd 2008 8:20PM The problem with zon box is the missinformation. I cant contact any number they provide on the contacts page at their website.


Pros:
- Complete Guide TV
- Record from Guide TV
- Timeshift fw/rw with sound
- USB port (whats for divx/xvid movies?)
- Ethernet port (whats for, same above? copy movies from a PC?)
- SportTV in HD

Cons:
- only 90 minutes of temporary buffer
- activation fee of 50€ (Meo only asks 20€)
- MEO price tag is lower than the ZON PowerBOX, i bet with will be difficult to ZON BOX to keep up
- only HD at 1080i (interlaced)
- the HD channels will only be available to the funtastic pack after the Hype as i read somewhere
- missinformation, no one knows nothing about the comercial strategy: prices, availability, equipment..


Since im stucked with a DVDR philips, 250GB HDMI with1080p that brought. I will keep my interest for MEO (awating for the dish.. )

I live in the middle of the atlantic at Açores and stuff here gets later than the rest of the continental Portugal. I want to be sure that i will have (atleast) a good image during EURO2008.

My currently ZOn Cable signal is a joke..
