I'm eagerly awating my Foxsat HDR. Currently I watch my Humax 9200 remotely using a video sender, can anyone let me know if I will be able to watch HD content "wirelessly" in the same way via the SCART TV connection, or is this encoded?

Thanks, Woolfynorm

You will be able to watch HD content, but it will be in SD. The SCART output from the HDR is only in SD, whatever you connect it to. HD is only available on the HDMI output. This is a limitation of SCART, not a problem with the HDR or freesat.

Note 1: Even though only in SD resolution, the HD content will still look better due to the higher bit rate of the transmission and less visible MPEG artifacts.

Note 2: There are actually two analogue outputs on the SCART, RGB and composite. They are both SD, but RGB is higher quality. When watching a copy protected programme in HD, the RGB output on the SCART is disabled. This is not likely to be an issue for the wireless sender as it is probably only using the composite signal anyway.

Very comprehensive reply, thanks.
