The broadband receiver will allow owners to program recordings using cell phones while they are away from home and can also transfer pictures between the recorder and the cell phone.



With the use of an SD Memory Card, you can transfer digital pictures to the Recorder from other devices such a digital camera. You can then store the data on the HDD or you can burn it to a disc. It can record MPEG4 image data simultaneously while recording MPEG2 data onto the hard disk.
