Hi all,
I currently have Sky HD but i'm changing to Freesat next month and have my eye on a Humax Foxsat 500gb. I currently have two connections going into the Sky box from the dish. Is this the same on the Humax box?? If not which of the two leads would I plug in?

Any ideas?!

Either

Best to use both satellite feeds so the Foxsat's twin recording capability has maximum flexibility; but otherwise it can cope with just one satellite feed (but won't have full twin recording flexibility) - the Foxsat even auto-detects what you have connected during the wizard setup.

MKD

cheers for that fellas.
By the way what model would you recommend? I want to be able to record whislt watching another channel with a large memory

The foxsat-hdr can record two and even let you watch a limited choice of third channels. Even with only 1 cable it can do the above but this restricts the second recording/viewing options. Unlike a sky box you can use an external hdd connected by usb to move recordings off the internal drive and replay from there (all channels except ITV 1 HD currently and possibly a tiny number of BBC HD recordings)

Graham beat me to it!
I'm using a 320Gb version of the Humax and am very happy. I spend a lot of time away from home and use external drives for archive and / or catching up. I've had the Humax over a year and it is the best 274 quid I have ever spent.
