Der Siemens Gigaset HD1 Combo High Definition Receiver für DVB-S und DVB-T läßt Sie Konturen schärfer und Farben intensiver erleben. Die „High-Definition Television“ Technologie zeichnet sich gegenüber dem herkömmlichen Fernsehen durch eine sehr hohe Bildauflösung aus. Dadurch werden Farben und Kontraste schärfer und intensiver dargestellt. Um die HD- Auflösung am eigenen HD-kompatiblen Fernseher darstellen zu können, wird ein HD-fähiger Receiver benötigt. Wer also kein Ticket für die begehrtesten Spiele der Fußball-Europameisterschaft erhalten hat, kann sich das „Stadion-Feeling“ ganz einfach ins eigene Wohnzimmer holen. Mit dem HD-fähigen Receiver von Siemens lassen sich die gestochen scharfe Bilder einwandfrei empfangen. Der Receiver stellt somit eine ideale Ergänzung zu einem hochauflösenden Fernsehgerät dar. Einfach durch den HDMI-Anschluss mit dem TV verbinden – und die Europameisterschaft kann beginnen.

Neben der Möglichkeit höchste Bildqualität zu empfangen, bietet der Receiver noch zahlreiche Zusatzfunktionen. Eine komfortable Sendersuche – manuell oder automatisch zu bedienen – ist ebenso mit an Bord wie Speicherplatz für 2000 Programme und eine Teletext-Funktion. Weiters besticht der Receiver mit einem integriertem Smart Card Leser (IRDETO ), einem Common Interface (CI) und einem digitalen Audioausgang, der die Europameisterschaft auch zu einem akustischen Erlebnis macht.
