Marmitek introduces the FreeTV200

Watch free television on your PC or laptop wherever you are.

This looks like a great little gadget if your computer doesn't have a built-in tuner (like mine!)...

EINDHOVEN- The FreeTV200 is the latest multimedia/PC product from Marmitek. This innovative and practical device enables you to watch digital television on your PC or laptop.

What is the FreeTV200?

The Marmitek FreeTV200 consists of USB tuner and a small digital antenna. The FreeTV200 allows your laptop or PC to receive digital DVB T(*) signals so that you can watch all programmes that are broadcast digitally “Free-To-Air”.

(*)

DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) is a European standard for the digital transmission of radio stations and television channels. The DVB-T (Terrestrial) signal goes through the air and can be received anywhere. Most European countries broadcast Free-To-Air channels via DVB-T, which means that you can watch digital television without paying any subscription costs.

Always and everywhere

With the FreeTV200, you can watch TV programmes on your PC wherever you want: in the kitchen, bedroom or student flat. You can also watch TV on your laptop sitting comfortably in your garden or even at a pavement café.

The FreeTV200 is also ideal for holidays abroad. You can watch most television channels in other countries for free on your laptop. You will never have to miss major sporting events like the Tour de France, the European Football Championships or the World Cup, Wimbledon or Formula 1 Grand Prix ever again. Furthermore, small children can watch Sesame Street, the Teletubbies or Spongebob on the road or in your tent.


Laptop multimedia player

The FreeTV200 is supplied with CyberLink PowerCinema4 software that transforms your PC into an integrated multimedia player with which you can record TV programmes on your hard disk. The Time-Shift function allows you to pause programmes, skip commercial breaks and continue watching whenever you like. With the compact remote control supplied with the package, you can quickly and easily select TV channels. Last but not least, digital TV has better sound and picture quality compared with analogue TV and additional information services, such as for example, an electronic television guide are available.

Technical information

Which Free-To-Air channels you can receive depends on the range of DVB-T stations broadcast in your (local) region. The tuner is powered via the USB connection on the computer. Recommended system requirements: Intel Pentium III, 1.6 GHz CPU, USB 2.0 and Windows XP (Home of Pro).
