Very Late ...but Welcome Move finally by Videocon D2h.....!!!
Now the question is when can we expect the Actual Child-Product of this marriage in Market...?? hoping to get before E.O.Y. atleast after IPL.
Expect Spec : Multi-tuner n Multiwatch, 4K/Ultra video-3D , Dolby Digital 5.1 & 7.1 HDMI audio,RF remote support.
By seeing this I say the Zigbee integration could have been restricted Only towards RF usage in current boxes..n in future also.

yeah, as mentioned in press release these M-Star-Videocon D2h built HD STBs MPEG4 offers functions as: title/time based recording, rewind & forward functions, auto serial recording, pause live TV and mark-skip-watch functions,watch recorded contents etc.

So there is reason too say that 'Remote' might consists of having these above functions on Unit with keys similar as DVR.
Moreover HD STB unit might have inbuilt Buffer memory(with capacity similar to USB upto 32GB etc.) so can quantify above said functions too. Whereas can have External USB recording facility to accommodate n emphasize large ext Hard disk of capacity like 1TB-nTB for detailed recording.

So Next million dollar question would be...what will be next M-Star-Videocon d2h integrated product?? will it be HD DVR MPEG4 with more advanced features???
