..................It just would have been nice if Humax had adopted the Manhatten method of tagging them onto a favourites list though. That would have made the Humax the absolute complete box for all my viewing needs.

Hmmm, yes. What a shame.
Looks like I'll be hanging onto my old Foxsat and the custom firmware for now then. |

Power Direct are reporting they have shipped some units but are now out of stock, more stock due second week in November. I am hanging on until they have more as it's only £240 from them plus £6 postage.

But due to the new Humax selling policy,discount prices are not allowed,so strange for Power Direct to claim otherwise.
Was in town last night so decided to drop in on Currys and ask if they had the new Humax freesat freetime box in stock; the guy said he had never heard of it and asked the manager who said I must mean youview!!! This seems to be the service level Humax are going to get with this policy!!!! |

Appears to be instock for collection at Currys/PC world Leeds (Birstall) which is the nearest store to me with stock but unfortunately a bit too far to go right now. Suspect a lot more stores will show availability from Monday

Non Freesat Channels
Hi, can anyone advise if it possible to add non freesat channels to EPG or if it is easier to access say Sky News than on previous Foxsat HDR

Read back the last page and you'll see I already asked that question, and the answer is no you can't.
![]() Also it seems you can't backup recorded programmes to a PC either, which is a bit of a deal breaker for me, so I'm sticking with the Foxsat for now. |

BTW, on the Foxsat HDR you could easily add non freesat channels to the EPG using the custom firmware.
No programme info available, but it's much easier than switching into non freesat mode all the time, and you can also set a manual timer record too. From what Bobcat said earlier in the thread things have been tightened up quite a lot with the G2 boxes, and it seems to be far more like Sky's closed system now.

So has anyone found this clipping recordings at all? Seems to be quite a big issue on Youview boxes with recordings finishing early, I'd be interested to know what it's like on this and how this handles schedule changes, does it use an accurate recording system like youview is supposed to do (and that seemingly isn't doing a very good job!).

It's early days but so far no problems. It uses the same AR system as the G1 boxes afaik. Which of course is going to rely on the broadcaster getting the codeing right and signalling the change of running status at the right times.

This is where I'm a bit confused, I would have assumed that AR system is the same one freeview uses so why would it be ok on Freesat but not on Freeview?
To me this is freesat telling the broacdcasters that from now everyone will notice if you screw up. |

Power direct are shipping. I ordered on Sunday, delivered today.
Still covered bny Humax 2 year warranty, so should make no difference. Delivered for £247, not bad in my book! |

I have still not got mine even though I ordered it online from Currys on sept 9th. I'm strongly inclined to cancel and order the 1 TB version elsewhere!

I have just placed an order for mine also with Humax direct. I have also ordered Powerline adaptors as the price is good if ordered with a PVR. If the Currys order turns up I will just take it back to my local Currys Store.
![]() ![]() Roll on Monday for my Humax Direct order!

Talk about lousy service
On Friday JL quoted 5 to 6 days delivery, so the following day I cancelled and ordered the 1TB from Humax. That same day the JL m/c arrived (Eh! They said 5-6 days not one!). Phoned them and got a RMA number for return, they told me collect Tuesday, then followed up with an email saying Monday. Emailed them and they apologised and said definitely Tuesday. Guy turned up Monday to collect. Still waiting for credit back to my CC. HumaxDirect service... Phoned me to apologise for 1 day delay in receiving stock. Phoned again when stock arrived to agree delivery day. No more business for JL. |

Plus in the settings bit mine is showing no signal on one of the cables, but it def showed both when I set it up yday, and its allowing me to record 2 progs at once, so I'm assuming that's wrong?!

Double posting is frowned upon.
