Humax Foxsat HDR 500GB ( Discontinued )

Humax Foxsat HDR 500GB ( discontinued 14/01/13 )

The Humax FOXSAT-HDR500 Freesat + HD Digital Box is the brand new twin tuner with 500GB hard drive receiver from Humax, for use on the Freesat satellite television platform.

This sleek black unit with smoked perspex front panel hides the very latest in PVR technology, allowing you to record up to 240 hours of standard-definition programming, or 120 hours in high-definition.

For use on the Freesat satellite television platform, this twin tuner receiver offers similar functionality to Sky+, without the subscription costs. By connecting two cables from your satellite dish to this PVR, you can record one channel whilst watching/recording or another; or even record two channels whilst playing back something you've previously recorded. Combing this with the Freesat EPG, setting up recordings couldn't be easier, just find the programme you want, press record, and that's it, no manual timers.

Connections include HDMI, Scart, Optical Out and LNB In (x 2). The Humax PVR also has two USB ports, one front, one back and will be capable of linking up to an external hard drive for further storage capacity. The included Ethernet port will allow data transfer via FTP client to your computer, allowing for 100mb/sec transfer speeds; this however is a planned addition for a future roll out (not available from launch).
