Fusion Digital Technology, the UK set-top-box maker created by Pace co-founder Barry Rubery, is to launch its first product, a digital personal video recorder (PVR) for Freeview.
The Digifusion PVR box allows viewers to record up to 40 hours of television from Freeview's 35 channels. The box costs about £250 (E378). Fusion provides an electronic programme guide. Users point a remote control at the screen to record programmes at the click of a button. Although Digifusion is aimed initially at the UK market it is expected to eventually be marketed to viewers of digital terrestrial services across Europe.
The company, which is a partnership between Rubery and Turkish electronics manufacturer Beko Electronik, part of Koc Group, was created last year, hiring many employees away from Pace. Beko holds 70 per cent of the venture.
