Prime timer
The Prime Timer is a hard disk recorder from the German company Schneider AG , which was launched in 1998 . The Prime Timer offers the television viewer the function of time-shift television .
In addition, films and programs can be recorded on its 40 GB hard drive like on a video recorder . This is made possible particularly easily by the built-in EPG (Electronic Program Guide), a type of electronic television newspaper that is received via the antenna connection of the device.
