Comments on: Humax FOXSAT-HDR Screenshots http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/some-humax-foxsat-hdr-screenshots Join Freesat brings you the very latest news and information on the Freesat satellite TV service Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:59:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dipper http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/some-humax-foxsat-hdr-screenshots/comment-page-2#comment-9824 Dipper Sun, 03 May 2009 06:08:05 +0000 http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/?p=269#comment-9824 I bought a couple of Humax Foxsat-HDR Freesat+ boxes a few days ago to replace two Sky+ boxes and I am very impressed. The BBC HD picture is superb with excellent Dolby Digital sound. When ITV can be bothered, threir HD is great too. I've also tuned in all the other FTA channels & found Luxe HD which shows posh stuff like palaces, stately homes, jewellery, etc. Not my cup of tea but it's there if you want it. The only real disappointment is the lack of Dave. I emailed UKTV & they have no current plans to add it to Freesat even though it's on Freeview. Strange. Another great thing about this box is that you can add photos & MP3s via the USB port so as to make it your home music system. Connect the phonos or optical digital output to your hifi & you're away. Great! With these 2 boxes I'm saving nearly £500 a year over the Sky boxes and they weren't even HD. They'll pay for themselves within a year.

Would be better if I could change the sate from 28.2 to 19.2 as unable to get some programs (BBC 2 after 2pm) and some others as live on edge of envelope (Spain) Hi

The picture quality, even in SD mode, is superb. I love being able to record two programmes at the same time...it saves a lot of arguments! Only one question...why can't we get news multiscreen on text? I got mine from a local shop and paid no more than anywhere else so it is worth going round the independent retailers.

It seems nobody has it is stock...even HumaxDirect ! If anybody has one they must be very lucky as supply seems to have dried right up. Does anybody know when the Foxsat HDR will be available?.

I am currently using Sky+ HD and I have to be fair it is excellent. However having researched this new HUMAX FOXSAT-HDR including the stuff on You-Tube which shows all the menu options and navigation etc, it looks a lot better than Sky. As soon as my current Sky subscription comes to an end I will be dumping Sky and going for this option. For a start it will pay for itself in 6 months (less if/when the price comes down a bit.). Luvly Jubbly ! Some interesting comments here comparing Freesat to Freeview etc.

I intend to go down the freesat route in the future and hope many people do, to bring down the sky monopoly that they have. One final thing when do we expect to see the fox sat hdr+ on the scene? happy new year...................

Of course it does but you are getting the Freeview channels via a satellite dish instead of an ariel. If you can get the channels through an ariel you wouldn't need a bloody satellite dish in the first place so I don't see what the confusion is. Is it me being a bit thick or is everyone else stupid.?
