Indeed so. Hugely improves the appeal of the Humax device. If they offered this capability "out of the box", surely it would help it sell.
I think there are things it would not be legal to do out of the box, such as being able to record any HD channel unencrypted in Freesat mode so it works to a schedule - I'm surprised you can even back up recordings to a USB device without the mod, to be honest.
As it is, probably 99% of Foxsat owners have never heard of these mods and what is possible. Sadly.
It is a shame, but I guess in a way it's a blessing: I have no doubt that if everyone modded their Foxsat HDR in this way broadcasters would pressure Humax to release firmware patches that lock the box down and enforce some form of DRM on everything it records in future.
