Nokia introduced a set-top box combining a digital satellite or terrestrial receiver with a Personal Digital Recorder for tapelessly recording on-air content. In addition to providing access to pay-TV content from cable operators or satellite broadcasts in the European market, the set-tops can tune in digital free-to-air television and radio entertainment programs where available. The Nokia Mediamaster 260 series also serves as a family Image Album by storing photos transferred via Bluetooth from compatible camera phones. The units also features some of Nokia’s games.
