Ferguson Ariva 4K is one of the few such comprehensive 4K UHD receivers on the market.

Access to media has changed dramatically in the past few years. The development of broadband services has allowed the emergence of Video On Demand (VOD) services, through which the user can see what he wants and when he wants to excellent image quality. The development of technology - especially mobile - allowed the emergence of smartphones and tablets, which have become the most personal electronic devices, real PCs (Personal Computers), where an user can place photos, family movies, music and other important files.

It all forced us to design a device that will allow the user to stream to the TV screen everything he would like: TV programs broadcasts in the highest resolutions, the content displayed on demand (VOD) in best possible quality, web pages, user photos or movies, music, files and actually everything what user wants. There are nearly unlimited uses of Ariva 4K and with the ability to install applications from Google Play, their number grows even more.
