The standard is national, and so is the tuner · review
The cheapest receiver here, with H.265 HEVC decoding and an S/PDIF output — the codec that terrestrial broadcasting has migrated to, and a digital audio path.
The bottom line The cheapest receiver here and the one with the codec that matters — free-to-air only, and that is the whole boundary.
H.265 HEVC. Terrestrial broadcasters have been migrating to it, and a receiver limited to the older codec loses channels over time — silently, as they disappear from the list. Decoding HEVC is what keeps a receiver useful for years rather than months.
S/PDIF. A digital audio output means the sound can reach a receiver or a soundbar as a bitstream rather than through the television. On a box at this price, that is unusual.
An infrared receiver on a lead, so the box can live inside a cabinet and still be controlled. It is what makes a tidy installation possible.
Free-to-air only. No conditional access, so encrypted channels are outside its reach. In markets where the channels you want are unencrypted, that is no limitation at all; where they are not, it is decisive.
PVR and timeshift. For those, the XORO on this shelf states both.
On sale from 26 € to 30 € on the German, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores at the time of checking.
Listed but with no offer on the British and French Amazon stores — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Because broadcasters migrate to it. A receiver limited to H.264 gradually loses channels as they move, and the failure is silent — a channel simply disappears from the list. A receiver that decodes HEVC follows the migration.
A small infrared receiver on a lead, so the box can be hidden in a cabinet and still respond to the remote. It sounds trivial and it is what allows an installation to be tidy.

DVB-T and DVB-T2 HD · PVR recording · HDMI · SCART · USB · radio
