Review: Sezam 1000HD (The Essential 1080p MIPS PVR Champion!)

Technomate’s receiver range is defined by stability and speed. In the crowded Enigma2 market, the Sezam 1000HD established itself as the “Essential” choice, cutting through the gimmick-filled noise of cheap clones and overpriced flagships. It doesn’t aim to be a 4K powerhouse; instead, it perfects the 1080p experience with native Broadcom stability and an unmatched single-room 1080p PVR proposition. For the veterans on enigma2.net, this box defined the ‘Fast MIPS’ standard for the HD era.

We are taking an in-depth look on enigma2.net to see how the Sezam 1000HD balances its serious hardware specifications, like its high-performance Broadcom MIPS dual-core chipset and its seamless internal 2.5″ SATA PVR support, against its competitive price point.

1. Core Hardware: Optimized MIPS speed

The heart of the Sezam 1000HD is pure performance restriction. When cheap ARM clones or underpowered MIPS processors were common, Technomate standardized the Broadcom MIPS Dual-Core processor at 2x 750 DMIPS (approximately 3000 total DMIPS).

• Processor (2x 750 DMIPS): This processor is essential for handling demanding plugins (like Jedi Maker Xtream (IPTV) and Fast Scan) and multiple recordings without a messy “voodoo” software hack. It delivers a blistering MIPS dual-core zapping speed.

• Performance: In the Enigma2 world, this raw power translates to near-instant zapping (typical sub-1 second). The user interface is completely fluid, and plugins load with true crispness. As the review image correctly states: it’s ULTRA LAG-FREE!.

Hardware Feature	Benefit
Broadcom Dual-Core (MIPS)	Optimized performance for demanding OE-Alliance images and complex plugins.
8GB eMMC & 2GB DDR3 RAM	Unrestricted multitasking; seamless 1080p Full HD experience.
1080p Full HD	Perfect for the vast majority of current satellite content.
Fanless Design	Silent architecture; ideal for a bedroom environment.

2. PVR and Connectivity: Unmatched Internal Expansion (EASY SATA PVR!)

The compact form factor of the Sezam 1000HD chassis (approx. 200mm wide) might suggest limited connectivity, but that’s not the Technomate way. The 1000HD standardizes professional-grade PVR options on a single-room device.

• Internal 2.5″ SATA Bay (EASY PVR!): The defining feature of this box. Technomate cleverly designed this chassis with an “easy” access SATA drawer on the rear. You can slide in an internal 2.5″ SATA hard drive, turning the 1000HD into a silent, professional-grade PVR without any messy external cables.

• eSATA PVR & Multiple USB: For further flexibility, you have a dedicated high-speed external eSATA port and multiple USB ports for external PVR, timeshifting, and general storage.

• Networking: The box features reliable Wi-Fi + Ethernet networking (including the Wi-Fi (Stable 2.4/5GHz!)! standard seen in the image). This is crucial for stable networked PVR setups and utilizingOpenWebif on a kitchen or bedroom box.

• Legacy Support: For those still utilizing high-quality older flat-screen TVs, the rare SCART OUT (LEGACY SUPPORT!)! is a lifesaver.

3. Tuner Versatility: DVB-S2 + HYBRID DVB-T2/C Combo (Mix & Match!)

The “Combo”suffix is the primary selling point for many on enigma2.net, allowing you to record one satellite channel while watching terrestrial HD, or record cable TV while watching a satellite feed.

• Fixed Hybrid Tuner: The box features a fixed Twin Tuner configuration: 1x DVB-S2 Satellite Tuner + 1x Fixed DVB-T2/C Hybrid Tuner (for Cable or Terrestrial HD).

• Impact: This combination makes the 1000HD the ultimate all-in-one kitchen or bedroom machine. Record terrestrial HD (Mix & Match!) while watching satellite, or record a satellite feed while watching cable TV. It completely breaks the single-tuner limitations of standard hardware.

4. Software and Multiboot Secrets

For the enigma2.net hobbyist, the Sezam 1000HD is a playground:

• MULTIBOOT FLASH: The standard 8GB eMMC flash allows you to use a True MULTIBOOT FLASH (RUN Enigma2, TM OS!)! setup. You can install multiple, complete Enigma2 images (e.g., OpenATV, OpenPLi, OpenPLi mod) on separate flash slots, switching between them from the standard menu.

• OpenATV Support: As seen in image_202.png, the 1000HD has excellent, optimized support from the OE-Alliance, particularly with OpenATV.

• CI Slot & Smart Card: Native, optimized support for Common Interface (CI) and Smart Card allows for full Conditional Access! compatibility.

• Fast Plugins: Specialized plugins like Jedi Maker Xtream (IPTV) and Fast Scan (bouquet creation) operate with lightning speed, removing lag from bouquet lists.

Final Verdict: The Stable MIPS Legend

The Sezam 1000HD is a masterclass in compromise-free compact design. It takes all the lessons learned from previous MIPS boxes and perfects the 1080p PVR experience. It isn’t a 4K powerhouse. But for any user on enigma2.net who primarily watches 1080p content and values Broadcom stability, blazing-fast zapping, and, crucially, a silent internal SATA PVR and triple-tuner flexibility (DVB-S2 + DVB-C/T2), this is arguably the best single-room compact ever made.

If you are currently suffering through an older, slow single-tuner box and want a reliable upgrade for a secondary room, a kitchen, or a holiday home, the Sezam 1000HD is, without question, WORTH IT. It’s the definition of stable, reliable performance.
