Digital TV recorder showcased at North Korean trade show

The device allows North Koreans to record TV, watch it at later times, and classifies KCTV broadcasts

A digital TV recorder which also groups North Korean television broadcasts into different categories was showcased at the ongoing Pyongyang trade fair, according to a Korean Central Television (KCTV) broadcast published yesterday.

The report shows the device attached to a TV with a wire, although curiously the recorder's box indicates it also has a connection for an "ADSL modem." The device also has an antenna of some kind, though it is not clear if it is broadcast, or receive a signal.
