This is not just an ordinary decoder. It’s your home entertainment hub, ready for every signal: DVB-S2, DVB-T2, and even HEVC/H.265—the standard of the future, available today.

The Ariva 160 Combo is also a home entertainment center—connect a USB device and enjoy movies, photos, or music on the big screen. Intuitive controls and the ability to program the remote give you full control over your multimedia hub.

The power of two worlds: satellite and terrestrial in one device

You no longer have to choose — Ariva 160 Combo brings together the best of satellite and terrestrial television. With two connectors (LNB IN and ANT IN), you can receive any signal, and using HDMI or SCART, you can connect the decoder to almost any TV—both modern and older models.

Programmable remote RCU 161

The Ferguson Ariva 160 Combo receiver comes with an exceptionally convenient, intuitive, and programmable remote control, model RCU 161. The remote control contains a set of buttons necessary to operate the receiver with a centrally located navigation wheel. Thanks to the button programming function, the user can independently assign the corresponding functions to specific buttons, which will speed up and further facilitate the operation of the receiver according to the user’s preferences.

Record. Pause. Watch whenever you want.

Do you have a meeting during the match? Is your favorite series overlapping with dinner? Thanks to the PVR function, you can record programs on a connected USB drive, pause live broadcasts, or rewind them to the moment that interests you. Your television plays by your rules.

Connect to the world

The Ethernet port gives you access to network features—remote updates, EPG access, and quick configuration options. And if you love cinema-quality sound, the digital SPDIF audio output delivers it with a quality that moves you.

For every household member

An intuitive menu, a programmable RCU 161 remote with a learning function (customize it to your TV!), and a favorite channels mode ensure that everyone — from seniors to children — can easily use the Ariva 160 Combo.

Designed with you in mind

Small, elegant, energy-efficient, and easy to install. With the quick setup function and a clear EPG guide, you’ll start watching your channels in just a few minutes.
