USB connection?

We haven't got Freesat yet but we are getting it soon.

I have read somewhere that there is a USB port on the Humax Foxsat HDR that you can use to connect things like MP3 players and USB pen drives to watch files and listen to music from your TV.

Can anyone confirm if this is true? If it is that will be really good as i watch quite a lot of files from my computer on my tv, but at the minute i have to put stuff onto DVD RWs and play them on my PS3 and not everything plays on that.

Thanks

You can use the usb port to play mp3 music files and display photo jpgs. You can watch video downloaded from the hdr but you can't watch any other video at the moment. It's possible that a firmware upgrade might make divx file replay possible, but don't hold your breath

I used it to see pictures on a USB stick & via a cable from a Panasonic Lumix camera.
You can roll through a file of images & the "i" button on the remote shows date, size, ref. etc.
Usually see these on a smaller PC screen.
I'll be interested to see answers to your other queries.
