[REVIEW] Roxxs 200 HD


Review: Roxxs 200 HD (The Blazing Fast ‘Triple-PVR’ MIPS Beast)

When Technomate launched the original 200 generation, it established the benchmark for high-performance single-room Enigma2 receivers. The Roxxs 200 HD is not a generic bulky receiver; it is a completely different class of machine. Powered by the reliable Broadcom Dual-Core (MIPS) chip and featuring unprecedented twin-tuner flexibility, this is a “Blazing Fast 1080p MIPS PVR Champion!

We are taking an in-depth look on enigma2.net to see how the Roxxs 200 HD balances its serious hardware specifications, like its high-speed Broadcom Dual-Core processor and massive triple-tuner array, against its Highly competitive price point in a landscape now flooded with generic 4K sticks and unstable ARM clones. For the hobbyist who needs versatility and speed, this is arguably the definitive “Fast MIPS” choice.

1. Core Hardware: Optimized MIPS Speed

The key difference between an entry-level compact and the 200 HD is pure performance. While other boxes compromise on RAM or CPU speed to reach a lower price, Technomate has optimized the Roxxs 200 HD to deliver flagship zapping speed within a 1080p environment.

  • Processor (2x 750 DMIPS): Powered by a blazing-fast Broadcom Dual-Core (MIPS) processor running at 2x 750 DMIPS (approximately 3000 total DMIPS!), the 200 HD established itself as the reliable alternative to single-core MIPS boxes. The Broadcom architecture used here means stable Broadcom drivers, legendry in the Enigma2 world for stability.

  • Performance (Speed Boost): This raw power translates to near-instant zapping (typical sub-1 second). The interface is completely fluid, and plugins load with true professional-grade 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 heavy skins.
8GB eMMC & 2GB DDR3 RAM Restricted memory bottlenecks; zapping is completely ultralag-free.
1080p Full HD Perfect for the vast majority of current satellite content.
Silent Operation Ideal for a bedroom or any noise-sensitive area.

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

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

  • Internal 2.5″ SATA PVR Bay (EASY!): 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 200 HD 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 2.0 ports for external PVR and timeshifting.

  • Networking: The system features LAN Ethernet networking for stable streaming, fast file transfers, and accessing your box via OpenWebif.

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

3. Tuner Versatility: Twin Tuner + HYBRID DVB-C/T2 Combo

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 simultaneously.

  • Fixed Hybrid Tuner: The box features a fixed Twin Tuner configuration: 2x Fixed DVB-S2 Satellite Tuners + 1x Fixed DVB-C/T/T2 Hybrid Tuner (for Cable or Terrestrial HD).

  • Impact: This combination makes the 200 HD 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 compact hardware.

4. Software and Multiboot Secrets

For the enigma2.net hobbyist, the Roxxs 200 HD is a playground:

  • Multiboot Flash: The large internal flash memory allows for a true MULTIBOOT FLASH (RUN Enigma2, TM OS!)! environment, letting you run OE-Alliance Enigma2 (like OpenATV 7.x) alongside a specialized TM OS. This allows you to switch between a pure hobbyist setup and a simple family interface.

  • OE-Alliance support: As seen in image_237.png, the 200 HD has excellent, native 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 Combo Champion

The Roxxs 200 HD is a masterclass in compromise-free compact design. It takes all the lessons learned from previous “Nano” MIPS boxes and perfects the 1080p 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 (Multistream + DVB-C/T2 + Scart), this is arguably the best single-room compact ever made.

If you are currently suffering through an older, slow receiver and want a reliable, snappy upgrade for your main room or a high-performance bedroom box, the Roxxs 200 HD is, without question, WORTH IT. It’s the definition of stable, reliable performance.
