eMedia has launched a new Openview OV512 decoder which is its first with a built-in Wi-Fi receiver, as well as an upgraded remote control.
The Openview OV512 decoder that will retail for R799, has a built-in Wi-Fi receiver.
The upgraded Openview remote control has a dedicated "+MORE"-button to access streaming content directly, an "ON-DEMAND"-button for additional content, and "HOME"-functions.
Openview says that viewers can now "enjoy more local and international shows and movies with the ability to
pause, rewind, and fast-forward on-demand content in crystal-clear picture
quality and HD compatibility".
