MyStar and MyStar HD – your Personal Digital Recorder
Create your own TV channel with MyStar
In a word, MyStar is all about you. MyStar will change the way you view TV forever. It’s a state-of-the-art set top box
that allows you to do things like pause and rewind live TV, record programs without a tape, even store a library of
your favourite programs.
Once you’ve experienced MyStar in your home, you’ll realise that this amazing new system is more than just the
latest technology, it’s a whole new era in home entertainment that gives you much greater control over what you
watch, and when you watch it, for truly personalised viewing. It’s like having your own TV channel where you choose
the programs.
Pause and rewind live TV
We’re all used to the convenience of being able to pause or rewind a video or DVD if we need to. But imagine how
much easier life would be if we could do that with normal live TV. Well, now you can – with MyStar! Let’s say you’re
nearing the climax of a great movie. The tension is building, all is about to be revealed, and … your phone rings!
No problem if you have MyStar. You’d simply pause the live TV, take the call, and then start the movie where you
left it – or rewind a few minutes to watch the scene again.
Recording your favourite shows
MyStar can record and store up to 60 hours of programming, allowing you to create a library of recorded shows.
When you’re ready to watch them, just press play! You’ll never have to search for your favourites through boxes of
video tapes or DVDs again as they’re all stored within your MyStar – logically catalogued and easily accessed.
MyStar HD can record up to 30 hours of high definition shows or up to 90 hours of standard definition shows. The
amount you can record depends on the actual shows being recorded. For example, sports programs take up more
recording space because there’s a lot of action! Whereas News programs may not take up very much recording
space at all.
We also have all your favourite series, so MyStar ‘Series Link’ functionality means you can set up just one recording
and your MyStar will record the entire series - all future episodes recorded onto your MyStar for those wet, stay-at-
home weekends.
