HUMAX Introduces
First TopUp TV Ready Set-Top Box- April 27, 2005
London, 27th April 2005: Humax, one of the world's largest
set-top box manufacturers, has today announced the launch
of its first TopUp TV ready set-top box. The Humax MG-TUI
offers affordable access to over fifty free-to-air Freeview
digital TV and radio channels with the option of adding a
further eleven channels through the paid for TopUp TV service
including UKTV Gold, UKTV Style and the Discovery Channel.
The MG-TUI is available either as a TopUp TV starter pack
(including a smart card, registration fee and a one-month
subscription to TopUp TV) or as a standalone product. Features
include a seven-day electronic programme guide (EPG); an MHEG-5
engine, which supplies both digital and interactive services;
twin scarts to allow the consumer to connect the box to their
TV and VCR; and an RF modulator that enables the box to connect
to older TVs without a scart input.
New channels are added automatically when available and the
user-friendly over-the-air software upgrade capability ensures
maximum product life. Unlike most other set-top boxes, the
Humax MG-TUI comes with a two-year warranty and a scart lead
is also included.
·°With the first analogue signals due to be switched off in
less than three years, consumers are becoming more aware of
the need to buy future-proof digital TV products with a long
shelf life. The MG-TUI underlines our commitment to meeting
those needs by allowing viewers to add the popular paid-for
TopUp TV viewing package alongside the free-to-air Freeview
channels,·± said Dale Heathcote, UK Commercial Director for
Humax.
The Humax MG-TUI is available from the end of April 2005.
