rory 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Anyone used this yet .. from GE Kalatel, is it a 4 channel or 1 channel? None of my distributors can say for sure and the specs are confusing as they say 4 then they say 1 channel? Anyone know if it uses wavereader also? thanks rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetzLyov 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Rory, This is a 4 channel DVR with front USB port and comes with 160G hard drive at the moment... Excellent box and very good playback video... Levon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MetzLyov 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Same wavereader and they are talking about taking this box to MPEG4 compression. I have seen the prototype with MPEG4 and it is nothing that they made before. As matter of fact, they are in process to change a chip in all their DVRs to provide this compression... My last numbers showed that the dealer cost will be below $800.00 including 3 years warranty (for 160G unit). Even though the first box comes only with 160G, they are talking about increasing the hard drive capacity and offering wider range of hard drives between 40G to 500G. They should make this announcement within next few weeks. Levon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
