LG Electronics PY2DR First Look
Filed in archive HDTV on May 9, 2005

Last week, we showed you the press release on the LG Electronics PY2DR. Now DesignTechnica has a nice first look at the HDTV with a built-in DVR. The article states:
LG Electronics has put a lot of thought into the design of the PY2DR, trying to envision making it as much of a home media hub as possible. To that extent, they've included a number of build-ins which may cut down or eliminate the use of other electronic devices.
For starters, the PY2DR units are CableCard ready. A CableCard is a special metal card which allows you the same full access that a set-top box would to digital cable services, like premium programming, that your local provider offers. Instead of the ugly box resting on or near your television and being tethered by a cable though, the small card plugs unobtrusively into a slot on the flat panel's back.
The sets also feature an ATSC VSB/QAM tuner which receives terrestrial digital HDTV and unscrambled digital cable as well as analog broadcast and cable tuners.
This is such a sweet TV, now I just have to convince the wife that $15,000 is a great price for a TV. Wish me luck!
