Jan. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- In an amazing new ‘portable TV’ concept, Humax – the global leader in satellite television reception industry – has introduced yet another revolutionary new product: The Humax Portable Satellite TV System that viewers can carry with them wherever they go. The system was launched in KSA by Samir Photographic Supplies (SPS), the exclusive distributor for Humax products in the Kingdom.

Speaking at the launch, Omar Hindi, Marketing Director of SPS said: “The new Humax Portable Satellite TV System is likely to change how we watch TV in the Kingdom. Imagine, taking your TV with you on a vacation, to a picnic, or simply to your front lawn to enjoy crystal clear, digital quality TV wherever you please.”

The SATBox – as the product is called – has a 17-inch LCD monitor and an integrated Humax satellite receiver with a compact and portable flat antenna to receive channels and recharge-able laptop-style batteries, all packed together in an easy to carry, briefcase-like design. The SATBox can also be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket, available in all cars for recharging. The whole pack weighs 12 kilos.

The subscription to satellite TV works like in a normal receiver and viewers can subscribe to any of their favorite satellite TV services such as Nile sat. The SATBox comes with a built-in compass, to help position the antenna towards available satellites in the area, for easy installation, tuning and connection. This mobility allows viewers to take their TV to virtually any place and watch their favorite channels.

The Humax SATBox is now available at all SPS showrooms and at other leading electronics retailers across the KSA.
