I don't think this is the smallest HD box in the world, however I didn't find exact dimensions of this.

Smaler box is for example Ferguson Ariva 102mini


With dimensions
W: 108 mm D: 70 mm H: 18mm

To add some information to this box. In the Netherlands you can buy this one for about 130 euro.

Re: smallest HD box in the world ---GHOST M3

hi

All very nice, but why does someone needs the smallest box in the world?

You still need all the necessary connections and ventilation -> I doubt that there's a big one in the ariva

Personally find the possibilities far more important than size, design, colour, ...

True, the ventilation is the most important thing in a receiver. I think the smallest one is usefull if you use in on the road in a camper or something like that. I wouldn't buy one because of it's size or colour.

I now use the DM500HD, it has a perfect size and I like the design. Enough performance for me !
