The TVonics UI in Pictures

The programme guide is clear, and uncluttered like the rest of the interface

The menu system is plain and simple – no fancy graphics here

You can create a playlist of recordings to watch, but there are not folders for organising your files

Picture in picture is available, but only with SD channels

Resume play is supported, but skip functions are limited to 30 seconds back or forward
