Does anyone who has bought this box know the answer to these?

REMOTE: is the remote control better - the problem I had with the old Foxsat HDR one was that you had to have a very good aim in order for it to pickup the signal. Whereas the Sky remote seems to work no matter what direction it is pointed. It would be good if they could make it Bluetooth instead of infrared. I know you can buy programmable remotes, but I don't want the hassle.

HARD DISK: can we install larger hard disks? I installed a 2TB hard disk in my Foxsat HDR. I'd like to install a 2TB or larger disk in this 1000S box. Will my existing Foxsat HDR 2TB disk work (don't care about keeping existing recordings) or can we buy a compatible disk? I struggle to have free space on the 2TB drive so I wouldn't want to downgrade to 1TB. I did try asking Humax this question a couple of times on Twitter but was ignored.

No one has bought this box yet. They aren't available until the end of the month earliest. There's a thread on MyHumax about questions like this. If you post there Barry will attempt to get the answers direct from Humax.

Remote: on the one doing the rounds at the Retra shows, the remote seems to work very well from all directions.

Don't know about the hard drive but will ask the Humax chappie tonight.

Thanks Wayne - much appreciated. Any idea on boot time too?

Graham - tried to login to myhumax but the forgot password link isn't sending a password through (have checked spam folder). Couldn't see my qns answered there.

You will need to ask the questions directly on the forum. What's your user name ?
