7 days

2- Video Output Options

HDMI, TV scart RGB, Composite, S-Video. VCR scart S-Video. Phono Composite

3- Audio OutputOptions

Digital via HDMI and S/Pdif, Stereo analogue from both scarts and phono
(digital mpeg sound from SD broadcasts, DD from HD (2.0 or 5.1 depending on broadcast)

4- Noise/Power Requirements while on and in Standby, and Box Dimenions

Very Quiet, Sby less than 1 watt, operating up to 50W. (measurements show normally about 35W)

5- Can you upgrade Hard Drive

Very easily but you have to break the warranty seal

6- Does it support Dual tuners and if so can it be done with single LNB and how

Dual tuners. Can be operated on one cable and a tuner loop with some restrictions.
See this thread
Humax-HDR Bonus Feature - Freesat - Digital Spy Forums

7- Quad Recording

Possible but not yet implemented. Best you can currently do with two cables is record 2 and watch a 3rd but still have time shift available on the 3rd (The tuner is recording but you can't save it)
Details in above thread

8- Copy or Stream Pictures/Video/Music from USB Port with Hard Drive/Tumb Stick

You can copy but not stream. Storage device file system has to be Fat16/32 or Linux EXt3. Fat drives have a max file size limit of 4Gb.

9- Can you copy Recorded TV to Storage device via usb, if so how long does it take to transfer in MB/S, and can you access box via PC directly

Yes, not measured speed but it's about 3 times as fast as a 9200. Once copied you can play the copy directly

10- Can you overscan the picture?, Adjust Image Brightness/Colour/Gamma

NO - only on the display device



Basic questions, would be greatful if someone could answer them then post this in the freesat FAQ... or somebody provide me with a box so I could fill it in myself...
Hope this helps
