Formuler F3, design and connectivity

Formuler F3 is a single tuner receiver which comes equipped with a DVB-S2 tuner. Suggested retail price of the F3 is 159 Euro.

Key Features on the Formuler F3
Broadcom BCM 7362
751 MHz
512 Ram / 256 Flash
1 card reader
1 ci slot
Two USB 2.0 Host ports and SD card slot (for Video file Playback & MP3 Player & JPEG Viewer)
10/100 Base Tx Ethernet port



The Formuler F3 is a compact receiver and in traditional black design which is only interrupted by the 4 character alpha numeric display. Not a high end display but we would not expect that on lower end receiver like the F3.



Apart from a standby button which is placed discretely on the side you need the included remote control.



All the options for receving pay tv are on the back where we find an internal card reader along with a common interface slot. That is probably plenty for most people.
On the back we find these connections:
1 x  LNB in
Optical digital audio out
HDMI
Ethernet port
2 x USB
SD card reader
Serial RS-232 port
Power connector
AV/out (cable not included)

The SD Card reader is a nice addon but perhaps a bit inconvenient placed on the rear.



The Formuler F3 is delivered with:
Power adapter
Remote with batteries included
HDMI cable

The Formuler F3 Remote



The included remote does not look or feel high end but it does fit quite nicely in the hand with the buttons sensibly positioned. Most buttons are reasonably sized.
