Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 24 May 2010 – Westwell today announced a new product, the Olin High Definition Personal Video Recorder OPVR-1000, which allows users to record their favourite TV programs at the touch of a button.

OPVR-1000
The OPVR-1000 is designed for easy installation. The unit connects to a television via HDMI and the graphical user interface is simple to use. The OPVR-1000 provides a seven-day electronic program guide and runs Dolby Digital Surround Sound for the highest audio quality. It allows for all channels, including analogue and digital, to be viewed on all televisions, including non-digital ready TVs. The OPVR-1000 includes a 12-month replacement warranty.
