"BBC 1 launches in HD on Freeview HD and Freesat boxes

Dear Humax user,

We are pleased to announce that another high quality HD channel is about to become available on our HD receivers and PVR's. BBC 1 HD is launching on the 3rd of November and you will have to retune your Freeview HD or Freesat box after launch to receive this channel. Full instructions on how to do this are available here.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to certain programmes being moved from the existing BBC HD channel to BBC 1 HD after launch, broadcast identifier information that the PVR's use for recording these programmes will be changing. This means that previously set series recordings on these BBC HD programmes will not work unless they have been deleted from the BBC HD schedule and reset against BBC 1 HD.
