just saw this on the sky+HD thread Humax FOXSAT-HDR Freesat+ HD PVR Digibox Box | Freesat+ | Satbuyer and basically looks interesting, I DO like the way sky+ menu navigates, anyone know how this one will operate?
Very interested in your detailed findings Blu-rayx when you get it up and running.
Particularly keen to hear SD PQ is good as well as the free HD channels
I understand that ITV HD is a red button service. Is this just like Freeview, where the red button stream is just another (unnamed) channel at the end of the EPG? Can you record from ITV HD- if so do you have to record from channel 302 (or whatever)?
No when you click on a ITV1 epg entry to record it, if it's available in HD you get asked if you want SD or HD
I've had one delivered today from Argos, ordered on Saturday.
Unfortunately the front of the box has lots of scratches, some of them quite deep.
Argos tells me they are sold out and to call back in 3 to 5 days to arrange a replacement. What a joke.
You have taken off the protective film, right? I thought the same when I first pulled it out of the box.
Lol, you are only right. I've just had another look at it.
I looked specifically for a film aswell, but couldn't find an edge
Anyone cracked the remote setup for this yet to port to a Harmony One. Is it similar to any existing Humax Sat/Freeview PVRs ?
anyone thats got one set up now care to comment on it please.
thanks
(Perhaps when I connect a second cable?) So far, I've been very impressed.
- Scheduling doesn't seem bug-free: it allowed me to schedule two recordings on the same channel even though I don't have two cables from the LNB
Obviously I've had the thing for less than 24 hours, but initial set-up and experience has been very smooth.
Got mine yesterday from Argos. Hooked up to a Sony Bravia KDL-40W4500 via HDMI. Only one cable from the dish at the moment, and in common with some others I'm finding that the software update doesn't work. (Perhaps when I connect a second cable?) So far, I've been very impressed.
Pros:
- Seems very quiet in operation (it's quieter than the media storage NAS I have next to it, at any rate)
- Great picture quality on BBC HD
- Very punchy colours, much better than my old Pace Digibox
- Fast, responsive EPG
- Live pause, ffwd/rew etc. all work great
Cons:
- Box does take a little while to boot up
- Scheduling doesn't seem bug-free: it allowed me to schedule two recordings on the same channel even though I don't have two cables from the LNB

Hi,
I would be interested to learn if you can sort this as I will have to use one cable for a short time, does it matter if the cable is connected to LNB1 or LNB2 out of interest?
Cheers,
You have to connect the dish cable to rf 1 in. and then connect rf1 out to rf2 in with a short length of coax cable. Not sure yet if you need to make any menu setting changes. Hopefully someone who has tried this will post
