What do I do with my existing decoder? (I have a 1110 decoder)
We recommend you keep your 1110 and link it to the HD PVR using XtraView(1) - allowing access to two different channels on two different TVs at the same time, whilst simultaneously recording two other channels! PVR functionality, the HD Channel (including widescreen with Dolby digital) will be available in one environment, whilst Interactive services (including TV Guide) will be available in both. The HD PVR Favourite Channels feature will be available in one environment, while the useful Title Search feature is available in the other. You can even have different Parental Control settings for each decoder. (1) XtraView is currently available on all packages. (3) MultiChoice recommends the use of a MultiChoice Accredited Installer for all XtraView installations.
