ADVANTAGES of Ferguson Ariva 175 Combo Receiver

• The Ferguson Ariva 175 does the job of both a HD satellite & digital terrestrial receiver in a single unit

• It future proofs your investment by meeting all the latest HD standards

DISADVANTAGES of Ferguson Ariva 175 Combo Receiver

• The Ferguson Ariva 175 does not support MHEG5 so no teletext on HD terrestrial channels
• More expensive than either a HD satellite receiver or a stand alone digital terrestrial receiver but cheaper than getting them separately
• It does not have an RF out ie.. it is not possible to run the picture to an additional room unless you use either an external modulator or a TRI-Link (allows you to operate box with a sky eye from another room)
