Headlines - Humax reveals its Freesat HD digital box

[HEXUS]

Hot on the heels of the UK-wide launch of Freesat, Humax presents its FOXSAT-HD digital set-top box.

Excellent. This paves the way for a Humax Freesat PVR.

[Bluecube]

You mean it's not a PVR from the start? Rather pointless IMHO considering how blasted awkward it is to connect up a video/ DVDR to a receiver box.

[Funkstar]

Nothing about the spec or description mension recording or PVR functions.

[kopite]

SO can it just be plugged into a standard Sky dish or does it have to be pointed at a certain place

[Funkstar]

Should work. Sky and Freesat come from the same physical Satellite.

How many free HD channels are out there atm? and how many are planned?

I know that BBC HD is out there but what other channels are out there that ppl would want?

I`d love skyhd but atm the extra 200+ for the box then 10 more a month on the bill is a bit steep for a couple of channels

[TheAnimus]

a couple of channels that are only in 720p too, not too mention that channels like sky two are so heavily compressed the quality looks awful.

Humax say their Freesat PVR arriving before the autumn.

I'm going to wait for the PVR - got a DVB-T Humax 9200T, and it's awesome.

see the other thread. it's not all astra2 (some eb1 too), and there are lots of frequencies.

Saw this in JohnLewis last night. It's a dinky little box, much smaller than the other one they had.
