Humax Foxsat HDR
Hi folks, I have my father inlaw's old Foxsat as it has a fault and he replaced it with a freeview version, I remember trying to figure out the fault and it was the EPG that would freeze and we had to re-boot to get it to work again and the same would happen again can't remember any other faults but there might have been, I remember reading on other forums about the capacitors being faulty and wondering if this might be the fault with this box it was the 320GB version if my memory serves me right and the advice at the time was to replace 3 of them and that some suppliers would sell the kit needed, does anyone know if this is the fault? and which ones need replaced, can't do it myself but a son inlaw can.
Thanks in advance |

Does the EPG freeze only happen when using the EPG button on the remote when watching live TV? That is normal with this model.
Does the EPG freeze when watching a recording or first going to the Schedule List then hitting the Red Button? That is not normal. |

faulty capacitors were a known problem on the foxsat-hd and not the foxsat-HDR which is what you have.
More details on the fault please. |
