This version has been updated with the added functionality to watch and record live TV from two different channels, simultaneously! When your favourite shows clash, you don’t have to settle, you can watch both back-to-back by recording one while watching the other. Then, simply play the recorded show off of the USB or Hard Drive you connected to the DVB482. Easy To Use Retaining a simple plug-and-play set-up using the provided power cable and your home coaxial aerial cable you can be Freeview HD ready in just a few minutes. Connect the Set Top Box with HDMI to enjoy full 1080p pictures on your TV.

Access up to 120+ UK Freeview and Freeview HD channels, plus Freeview Radio Channels in the UK. Schedule Recordings and Timeshift ( This product R equires an External USB storage device for recording, which is NOT included in the box .) If you manage to miss the start of a show from all the excitement then you can rewind and catch up in real-time, no need to wait for the show to go up on catch-up services or use any internet! Schedule your recordings ahead up to one week in advance with the full week-long Electronic Program Guide. Plan ahead, set recordings and reminders, and never miss a show you love again. Recordings are scheduled right from the EPG so you can set up a last-minute recording in a couple of clicks of the included wireless remote. The EPG, recording menu and interface are all easy-to-use and designed to be communicative and intuitive. You can use the Schedule page to set up to 8 different recordings up to two weeks in advance! These can be any time in the future and custom durations. 2 of the recordings can overlap and record at the same time. Timeshift functions like pausing and rewinding, Set Top Box controls, as well as the functions of your TV itself, can all be accessed from the single DVB482 remote in an innovative all-in-one solution. Multimedia Playback Device View your own media or invite friends and family to bring their own as the DVB482 plays a vast variety of digital formats from USB sticks and Hard Drives. Share memories, watch favourite films and rewatch moments you missed altogether using the DVB482 as a Multimedia Hub. The Multimedia Player supports MP3 and MP4 playback for music and video, as well as 14 other formats for maximum compatibility. Turn a simple screen into an entertainment centre of TV, Music and more. Important Compatibility Notice This Set-Top Box is Freeview only and requires connection to a working rooftop or amplified indoor TV Aerial to operate correctly. It does not support satellite systems (e.g. Sky, Freesat) or internet streaming platforms (e.g. iPlayer, Netflix, YouView). No Wi-Fi or Smart TV functionality is included. Recording and multimedia functions require a USB Stick or External Hard Drive (not included). Freeview signal reception depends on local aerial coverage — please ensure your aerial is compatible before purchase. Access 1080p Freeview HD Using the provided HDMI cable, you can connect monitors and TVs for access to high quality HD channels displayed in perfect resolution. Supporting 100+ Freeview HD Channels and displaying them authentically. Record and Watch Simultaneously In a leap of software design the DVB482 can record one channel for later viewing even while you watch a completely different channel live on air simultaneously! Clashing shows don’t have to be a hard choice, as you can now watch them both one after the other, or any time you’d like. Please note: A USB Memory Stick or External Hard Drive are needed to record TV TV Settings and Functions An all-inclusive remote and system allows you to match aspect ratios, change resolutions, set parental guidance pins and enable Subtitles on Live TV. Control your TV with your Set-Top-Box remote. All the everyday and leisurely features you need are accessible through the DVB482. EPG and Timeshift Look ahead at the week’s entertainment with the 7-day rolling EPG. Once you decide what you can’t miss, schedule up to 8 recordings (Two recordings may overlap at any one time). Alternatively, sit down and watch Live. If you just miss the start you can rewind, or if you need to make a coffee you can pause instantly from the remote and resume later, even fast-forwarding the adverts! Compact Engineering Small, lightweight and incredibly sleek two-tone black design encases the technology in a subtle, stylish exterior. The DVB482 sits well on your TV stand, entertainment unit, windowsill and more. Under 20cm wide and under 11cm deep, the box is able to be placed wherever needed to connect cables easily. How Do I Cancel scheduled recordings? - You Cannot cancel recordings through the EPG. Instead, press Menu > System Set Up > Schedule. This is a list of all scheduled recordings. Select one to edit and change “Timer Mode” to “Off” that will remove scheduled recording setting. What is “Speed too slow to record” - Most of the time the recording still gets made. It’s also not a consistent issue and just because it happens once doesn’t mean it won’t go away. The issue is to do with how fast the data is written to the USB. If the recordings fail, advise a faster/larger USB 3.0 drive designed for faster transfers, or a USB external SSD How Do I change channel while recording? - If there are recordings going on you cannot access the EPG or Schedule options. Please ensure you know the channel number you wish to switch to and type in using the number pad. For best results, use the EPG or Schedule to arrange recordings days or weeks in advance. Volume + and Volume - Buttons Don’t Work - The volume + and volume - individual buttons at the top of the remote allow you to control your TV settings all through the one remote. If volume is still too loud or quiet please use the DVB482 volume button on the left of the remote to adjust the volume further. How To Connect The DVB482 Remote to my TV? - The DVB482 can pair with your own TV remote to control volume and source all through one remote. To do this, hold “SET” on the DVB482 remote for 3 seconds. The red light will stay on. Hold the Volume Down button on your TV remote and hold the two remotes towards each other. The remotes will pair and the “TV” section of the DVB482 remote will now behave as if it is your original TV remote. Ease-of-Use Design Control the DVB482, Timeshift functions, EPG and your own TV volume/channels with a single remote. The EPG and Recording Menu are updated and remade for enhanced user-friendly communication. Plug-and-Play with the included power cable and standard coaxial and RF Input.

Review: Exceeds my expectations - Fantastic device. Everything working beautifully. Great picture and sound quality, PVR and timeshift recording (even two timeshift types) on a USB Stick or external HDD flawless, remote controller responsive, dual tuners to record two different channels or watch and record simultaneously, nice other features like favourite channels lists and so on. The only small issue is that the EPG doesn't show programmes on several channels at the same time. Doesn't bother me, the EPG still is usable enough. Coincidentally, I've bought several August devices during several years. Originally mainly because they are so affordable. No problems ever, always happy with them. It is difficult to understand why this August DVB482 gets quite many negative reviews. Maybe people just don't understand how to operate this kind of boxes? (Operating is very simple, especially if you are familiar with TV tuner and recorder devices.) Maybe people expect too much? This device does not wash your laundry, make your dinner or write your emails. It just beautifully shows and records TV programmes (and plays multimedia files from your USB device). Thank you, August.
Review: For sub £50 it's great little DVR but don't expect the world. - Firstly let me start by saying I'm big on relativity and what I mean by that is if you buy this sub £50 DVR and expect Apple or TiVO standard viewing experiences you will be sorely disappointed but if you bear in mind this is a sub £50 device you'll be delighted. We've been a Virgin customer for years but the price was going up to literally £180 a month which is way over priced so we cancelled Virgin but I still like to be able to record stuff, hence getting this box. I knew this device was small but wow when it arrived it was actually smaller than I even thought - which is great. It takes up little space. It also includes an HDMI cable which was a nice touch as I've bought £200+ DVD players before that don't come with a cable. It comes with everything you need to get started, including batteries. As I say, if you remember it's sub £50 then it's a delightful device but it has some flaws: - While recording you can't view the EPG or change channels - you're stuck. - Recordings, instead of getting named by their title, get named by the TV channel so instead of The Young Ones it will be BBC which is annoying. - The UI looks like it's from the early 90s. - While it recording it flashes a recording symbol on the top right throughout which really annoys me. It also has some good points: - Easy to use. - Plug in USB drive and record - recordings are unencrypted and h.264 and I believe it supports h.265 too. I've plugged in a 2TB external hard drive and it's working perfectly. - The remote can learn your TV on/off and volume +/1 so you can just use the one remote for general usage. If I'd paid £200 or even £150 I'd probably be greatly dissapointed but for £50 - it does the job and saving me £180 a month on Virgin so I can't complain. I would definitely recommend this little device for this price point.
