===The Freebox Player===
The Freebox Player is the [[set-top box]] part of the "Freebox Revolution" offer. It is connected to the Freebox Server via [[Power line communication|PLC]] or by a direct Ethernet cable if both devices are close enough. It is possible to rent another Freebox Player if one wants to connect another TV set in another room.

The Freebox Player device has:
* One Blu-ray/DVD player (Blu-ray playback requires HDMI connection) and an optical sound output.
* One USB (on the front) and one eSata plug to connect hard drives (or a joystick or keyboard for the USB part).
* One [[DVB-T]] plug. By contrast with TV over DSL, DNV programs can be recorded to the Freebox Server or to a local hard drive with no restriction about accessing it from a computer.
* One remote control. By contrast with most concurrent devices, the remote control uses [[Zigbee]] (standardized power saving low rate low power radio wave) instead of infrared.
* The Freebox player can be controlled from a smartphone or a computer, or an iPad app.
* Every external device connected to the Freebox player is available to that device only but the devices connected to the Freebox Server are available to every Freebox player connected.
* The player can access Internet and e-mail with no computer connected, using either the remote control (which includes gyroscopic control) or from a USB keyboard (not included).
* Games are available from the Free-Store. A USB gamepad is included.
* You can plug in a USB memory stick with photos or music files and watch/play them.
