Humax foxsat boot mode

[bob60]

hi everyone
i bought a humax foxsat a few weeks ago.
i am very pleased with it. however, everytime i turn it on it goes into boot mode for about 30 seconds before the channel comes on. is this normal?
thanks

Perfectly normal, they go into deep sleep standby thus saving you electricity.

Quite so, all newly designed STB's must meet the EEC <1w rule (Later to be 0.5w). This saves you about (from GT and I 's calculations about £15 p.a. depending on useage).
