Hello FreeSatters,
I am seriously thinking of joining you from the dark side (Sky). When I got my HD box there was not much choice if you wanted to record HD. But I have noticed that I am watching next to no pay TV these days. If I do dump Sky, I intend to get a Grade A FoxSat HDR from Humax Direct. I will be installing my Samsung 1 TB HDD that currently resides in my Thomson Sky+HD box.
Now my question (I did a search for this but could not see an answer so apologies if this is old ground). The Thomson box expects SATA I data speeds (aka SATA 150). I duly downloaded the DOS tool from the Samsung website and set the drive accordingly. What I want to know is what the FoxSat HDR is expecting. I am assuming SATA II (aka SATA 300) but would like confirmation before I re-configure the disk.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
