If I have a Humax 1100s which I have paired to the Freesat app, does anyone know whether I can use the app to set up recordings when I'm abroad, e.g. Australia? If so, I assume I would just need to have my router and the 1100s powered up at a suitable time of day consistent with Oz time?

Firstly there is no need for you to arrange for the box to be on at specific times because the app talks to a freesat server. The box itself wakes up every 20 minutes or so to check for schedule changes and downloads them from the server. Whether the server is geo-locked I am not sure. Best to ask freesat that question, unless someone has tried it out from abroad.

Thanks Graham. I suppose, if the server is geo-locked, I might be able to use Hola whilst abroad?

Just had a Live Chat with 'James' at Freesat and he confirms that the app will not work outside the UK. Or at least that's the official line anyway (my words).

I would try it anyway. If I were wanting to geo-lock te remote record function I would have based it on the IP of the HDR-1xx0S and not of the phone.
