Entertain: New HD-compatible hard-disk recorder with 320 GB of storage capacity

The new MR 301 HD-compatible hard-disk recorder from Deutsche Telekom (Frankfurt: DTE, NYSE: DT) has been available since the beginning of October. The media receiver required for receiving Entertain has a 320-GB hard disk with space for up to 190 hours of programs. T-Home Entertain customers can rent the MR 301 for EUR 5.95 per month.

The MR 300 model is also still available. Entertain customers can obtain the 160 GB hard-disk recorder for a monthly rental charge of EUR 4.95.

Both models enable customers to view the full range of channels and content available on Entertain, and to use their innovative functions that allow Entertain customers to pause the current program at any time, rewind and play it back from whichever point they wish. The hard-disk recorders both include an electronic program guide with a 14 day preview function and can be programmed at the touch of a button. They can also be programmed remotely using a PC with Internet access or an Internet-enabled cell phone.
