Humax Foxsat 500GB released

The Humax Foxsat HDR is now available with a 500Gb hardrive instead of 320gb. This means you can record even more of your favorite TV Shows. Only a select few retailers are able to stock the product, Amazon being one of them. The 500gb Humax Foxsat HDR retails at around £300. Amazon do seem to have some for as low as £269.

Remember that if you already have a 320gb hardrive you can still save additional programmes to an external hardrive or storage device. This is done through the media settings.

Humax Foxsat HDR with IPlayer

For the Iplayer facility to work on your Humax Foxsat HDR you will need an internet connection.  This will be the usual Cat 5 cable that is connected to your reouter.

The Humax Foxsat HDR doesn't currently have the Wii Fi facility but if your technically minded you could configure a spare router as a client bridge or wireless bridge.  However proceed with caution and do not expect this method to work unless you know what your doing.

Ordinarily the Humax Foxsat HDR will pick up Iplayer once the internet cable is connected to the back of the Humax Foxsat HDR.  All Humax Foxsat HDR's sold in the UK since November 2008 will have a Cat 5 cable connection at the back.  You will not need to purchase a newer model.

Only a few of us have the Iplayer facility at the moment.  This is because Humax are testing the software.  Full roll out is expected shortly.
