*A PVR means fully-featured recording settop-box, Zapper means watching only, no recording, no streaming. *B The vendor may sell both single and dual tuners, so there may be one or two tuners in one slot. *C This excludes USB harddisks, because they can always be connected regardless. Connectors are (e)SATA unless otherwise noted. *D Limited transcoding means: only one (small) resolution, quality is poor. Standby means: only operable in standby. *E Limited means: SD full motion and HD I-frames only (pictures gets updated 1-2 times a second)
