Magic box

Receive, record and store high-definition television broadcasts in a single box: the MTV5000 (bottom left) from Pixel Magic Systems. The HDTV receiver and video recorder allows users to watch programmes at their convenience - with the added advantage of being able to pause, rewind and fast-forward content. It can record and store an entire TV series, from either standard or HDTV channels, thanks to its hefty 500-gigabyte hard-disk drive. Priced at HK$4,980, the MTV5000 has a graphical user interface that supports traditional and simplified Chinese and English.
