April 2009 - T5 and H5: New Premium TV Solutions Offering Full HDTV Support!

TerraTec H5 for DVB-T, DVB-C, Analog TV, and FM Radio; Dual Tuner TerraTec T5 for DVB-T

Hybrid stands for variety and options. The TerraTec H5, a new universal USB receiver for DVB-T, DVB-C, and analog TV, turns any netbook, notebook, and desktop computer into a TV set with full HDTV and VHF radio (RDS) capability. Analog video and audio inputs, Elgato’s Mac application, and TerraTec’s THC PC software round out the package. TerraTec’s new T5 is also all about quality. This compact TV stick features two receivers designed to deliver optimum DVB-T reception, even at the fringes of reception areas. What’s more, T5 delivers sharp HDTV images to the display and Dolby Digital to speakers for users to enjoy in moving cars and trains. Tuners may be employed independently to view one program while recording another, or to watch both at the same time using the convenient even picture-in-picture function. Priced at 99.99 Euros each, TerraTec’s H5 and T5 will hit stores in April.

The TerraTec H5 easily transforms every computer into another TV set with a diverse range of reception options including digital antenna (DVB-T) and cable (DVB-C), as well as TV and VHF radio. The device also features inputs for analog video and audio signals (S video, composite, stereo audio), enabling users to import analog videos from camcorders and video recorders to the computer.

Equipped with diversity capability, the T5 is a real alternative to the conventional TV because it ensures reception at the fringes of the DVB-T range. The two receivers compute a composite of incoming signals to enhance receptions quality. Given a strong DVB-T signal, users can even enjoy TV reception while travelling in cars and trains!

Key facts about the H5 and T5: These handy TV sticks are ready today to bring to the PC high-definition television (HDTV) with audio in Dolby Digital quality. Affording users even more value, both the TerraTec T5 and the TerraTec H5 are suited for universal use courtesy of software developed in Germany for Windows (TerraTec Home Cinema - THC) and Macs (Elgato EyeTV Lite). And they are both so easy to handle. Advanced capabilities such as time-shifted viewing, manual and timer-controlled recording without any loss of quality, an electronic program guide (EPG), and video text make for an unprecedented TV experience.

On top of all this, TerraTec’s popular Premium package brings value-adding extras to the computer, including high-quality components, a comprehensive software package providing full HDTV support, a 36-month warranty with lifelong technical support, sophisticated design, sustainable packaging, and a hardcopy manual in German. Drivers and software – also developed in Germany - come on an included DVD. Regular automatic updates via Internet ensure full compatibility. TerraTec designed this line with environmental concerns in mind, so these products ship in a reusable sheet-metal box.
