FoxSat Info

The Humax FOXSAT-HDR is the first Freesat receiver to have a hard-disk recorder built-in. It supports Freesat+ as well as High Definition. The FOXSAT-HDR became available in November 2008.

With a Humax Foxsat HDR, you can watch and record satellite TV without a subscription, including high definition content.

Following on from the successful Foxsat HD, this is a high specification twin tuner hard-disk PVR that supports pause, rewind and record of Freesat HD digital TV, as well as access an expanding choice of standard definition TV channels on Freesat.

The Humax Foxsat HDR has a large 320GB hard drive, which allows for recording of up to 200 hours of TV, or up to 80 hours of HD programming. It has an 8-day electronic programme guide, which makes it easy to scan the Freesat TV schedule and plan your viewing. Until now, the satellite TV recording market has been dominated by Sky, with their popular Sky+ and Sky+ HD recorders, but this receiver / recorder offers a high-spec alternative to Sky, and of course doesn't require you to have a monthly subscription to watch and record satellite TV.

The Humax FOXSAT-HD has two digital tuners, meaning that two Freesat channels can be recorded at the same time, so you never need miss a thing.

The Humax FOXSAT-HDR offers a whole host of advanced recording features for the Freesat+ digital satellite service, such as:

• Series recording - Supports automatic recording of all episodes of TV and radio series
• 8 Day Programme Guide - Onscreen EPG for programme selection
• Live pause and instant rewind - Great for when the phone rings, or if you missed an important plot development
• Schedule tracking - Recordings start and finish on time, even when broadcasters change their schedule
• Split recordings - Handy for recording a two-part programme that may have a break in the middle (such as a news bulletin)
• Radio recording - Never miss your favourite radio shows by recording by individual shows, or even series record
• Low power consumption - less than 1 watt in standby mode and an automatic standby function to put the box into standby when inactive
• Parental controls - access codes prevent children watching inappropriate content
• Audio description - for the blind or visually impaired and one-touch subtitles
