Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 24 May 2010 – Westwell today announced a new product, the Olin High Definition Personal Video Recorder OPVR-1000, which allows users to record their favourite TV programs at the touch of a button, including recording 3D programs in 3D format. The OPVR-1000 is one of the most competitively priced dual-tuner 500GB PVRs currently available in the Australian marketplace.

The OPVR-1000 is designed for easy installation, the unit connects to a television via HDMI and the graphical user interface is simple to use. The OPVR-1000 provides a seven-day electronic program guide and runs Dolby Digital Surround Sound for the highest audio quality. It allows for all channels, including analogue and digital, to be viewed on all televisions, including non-digital ready TVs. The OPVR-1200 includes a 12-month replacement warranty.

Michelle Jin, Executive Director for Westwell, said, “Many people are feeling overwhelmed by the digital switchover and all the new technology they need to purchase. People like to record their favourite programs when they’re not home, but many of the current PVRs available can be quite complicated. Westwell is offering a device that is easy to set up and use, has all the features you need, and fits within a family’s budget.”
