Humax FOXSAT-HDR Freesat+ 320GB HD Digital TV Twin Tuner HD Recorder - Installation Recommended (Old model)

Product Information

You get the whole host of features you’d expect, such as series linking, where multiple recordings get dumped into neat folders for ease of viewing in your Media List when you come to watch them. The Ethernet is marked “for future use” and we hope that it does find a use, rather than vanishing as it has on some Humax Freeview+ boxes.

Oh, I almost forgot: I'm sure you know, but the hidden menu is Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Green, Yellow, Blue when "Manual Tune" is highlighted but not selected.The custom firmware will allow you to F Browse Media Files, View and add scheduled events, Channel list, EPG Now and Next, EPG 7 day, Service management, Package management, Settings and documentation. It has dual tuners, so you can watch one programme while you’re recording another, or record two shows at the same time. When I go in to Media Library I notice that instead of BBC Two HD it shows the channel number next to the file name. So as a PVR you get to do all the cool things with live TV – pause and rewind within limits, so if you need to answer the phone you can simply pause. HUMAX products use certain open source operating system software distributed pursuant to GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2 and GNU LESSER GENERAL LICENSE Version 2.

Perhaps that's the issue but if the conversion is only audio related, I can't see why it doesn't play without sound.

That's one of the things that the "Convert for Streaming" option in the media browser might help with. There’s a backlit display panel bang in the centre, which clearly shows the name of the current channel and other information like the output resolution. But whether Ethernet cable is connected directly to my laptop or wireless the maximum download speed of Foxsat recordings is 3 to 4mb and never reaches to speed of T2 downloads of 11mb.

trying to update my foxsat hdr software with no luck, and all the sats ive tried don't carry the software update for the hdr either.That said there are a few exceptions, all other ITV regions, UTV and STV in both SD and HD have full 7 day programme listing as information for these is provided by Freesat.
