The bundle for the EM7095 is reasonable, although we were disappointed to note the omission of an HDMI cable and an antenna/aerial system. They include a manual, remote controller (with batteries), power adapter, scart converter and audio and video composite cables.
The remote is a smaller design than the one included with the EM7080 and the power adapter is all built into a single plug based unit.
The main focus of the EM7095 is as a DVB-T Tuner however it can play HD media from a USB drive which can be attached directly to the player. There is no built in networking with the EM7095 either. Interestingly, the appearance is completely different from the glossy EM7080 – this player is supplied with an anodised brushed metal finish.
On the side of the player, is a Coaxial connector, in front of two USB 2 ports. At the rear (from left to right) there is a DC power connector, Antenna in/out. Next to audio and composite connectors. Finally there is a HDMI 1.3 port.
In the UK, the player supports up to 50 free digital channels. It is not limited to this however as you can hook up a USB drive to play media files, such as MKV and H.264. There is an electronic program guide to see which programs are airing and to schedule recordings to an attached drive. This unit also supports teletext. The EM7095 is powered by the MStar chipset.
very slick, but I agree, the graphics look terrible.
IM really not that bothered about interface graphics to be honest, id rather get to the files faster. this hard drive capable player appeals to me.
As I said in other reviews, until these companies sort out gigabit lan connections ive no interest. I want to use one as a NAS also, but 100mbit is too slow.
I like the media player, but I own SKY so no need for the other one. shame there isnt even a 500GB HD in the 80.
You can drop a 500GB drive into the em7080 with ease. Just read the review, it’s on page two. I like how it is smaller than the ryan device, and offers a lot more connectivity & warranty, and might try one in the next few months 🙂
