What do you do when the Hardrive is full?

Although the Humax Foxsat HDR has a whopping 320mb of memory it is quite easy to fill all the memory with all you favorite films and shows.  If you want to still keep these programs and still record more TV you can save programmes to your PC or external hardrive.

To transfer files (TV Programmes etc), you connect a USB storage device such as a memory stick or a portable hardrive to the back of the Humax Foxsat HDR via the USB slot.

It is the Humax Foxsat HDR file manager that allows you to transfer files from the 320 gb Hardrive to the external USB device.  You can then connect the external USB device to your PC and watch the programmes on your PC.  Alternatively you could even save files (TV programmes) onto an external hardrive and watch them from there on your Humax Foxsat HDR.

If your PC won’t play the Humax Foxsat HDR recorded programmes you could try another media player such as VideoLan.  This media player is free to download from www.vedeolan.org.

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.
