DStv decoder comparison: Explora vs HD Single View

How does this compare to a Fire TV or a Roku? Both these could be PVRs if configured correctly!

Well you would need to integrate a satellite receiver and a CAM capable of integrating into Multichoice and IRDETO2. So yeah, they could be configured as PVR's but they are incapable of receiving and decoding the satellite signal.

What kind of HD Single view decoder is this? All the options they have as NO, I can do on my HD decoder.
MC are grimey if the removed all those features on the current HD Single View to bump up the Explora's sales! :wtf:

Edit: Well except remote recording, and that also shouldn't count on the Explora as that needs a separate Wifi dongle!

They didn't remove functionality from the HD decoder. The single view HD decoder is the upgrade of the single view SD decoder. The Explora is the upgrade to the HD PVR which is what you're probably talking about.

Still given how useful / convenient the PVR function is, hopefully Multichoice will offer a cheaper PVR decoder with smaller memory than the 1TB which is on the Explora. Maybe 500GB or 250GB.

Which will reduce the cost by what? R200 at most?
 
I have one of the old ones, record 2 and view 1, problem is its taking a long time to load or to react to commands. Any ideas?
