The new icord HD+looks familiar
It would seem as always that central europe always gets the best offerings when it comes to electronic boxes and the like ,have a look at the spec on this box.

1 terabyte drive
14 day epg. Funny thing is the whole unit looks similar, and I'd guess the main board is the same. So potentially the HDR could be updated to run similar firmware. |

so if the icord has 14day epg, why not buy that instead of the HDR - what's the disadvantage of icord over hdr?

The HD+ uses the next generation of chipset, but don't worry about the UK being behind, we are already looking ahead in our long term planning to see if we can leapfrog our colleagues to even better chips in future.
The HD+ is really quite a nice box for our German colleagues but I think we can do better. |

I suspect it will be rather expensive in comparison too |

The icord hdr + is identical to the freesat hdr on the connection side of things and uses the same case.
what's the difference inside from the freesat hdr apart from the hard drive.?

Bob already said in post #7 - next generation chipset.
Rgds. Les. Why can't the HDR have FTP as the software has already been written for for the dutch model , the humax ihdr 5050 cable version , if it can handle BBC iplayer then it can use ftp. |

As I said it is capable , if you are going to transfer data to your pc then its a small price to pay to be able to store or burn recordings etc.

![]() The more I think about it the more I think that the reason is that they want to reserve the feature for the forthcoming HDR big brother product. |

Even if FTP was disabled during recording, or if it limited recording to a single channel, whatever the restriction they placed upon it, having FTP would be worth the restriction. Even my little network router does FTP !

This old box seems more up to date than hdr spec we have been given and it was called the iplayer hows that then.
