Gyn_Paul Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 This is the Humax with the single tuner right? If so, then - yes - a straight swop. All the free-to-air: that is anything you can currently receive on your Sky box, without the card in the slot will be receivable on the Humax.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Very simple, straight swap, just replaced sky with same model as you. No technical issues, pretty straight forward. PS England for the world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The HDR box you can record on, and you get HD for free, not available with sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie34 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The Foxsat HDR is a twin tuner PVR and you really need a twin or quad LNB so that you can watch one channel and record another. If you don't need that facility then just plug in the lead from your satellite dish and let it self install. However, if you do want to use it to its full potential you will need to change the LNB and run another cable from it to your Foxsat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Echoing Robbies post, the Foxsat has a twin tuner. I had only a single cable from the dish and replaced it with "shotgun" cable purchased from UK. This is a twin cable which will pull through the exisiting hole used for the single cable. It's suitable for runs up to 20m or thereabouts. With a twin LNB (or quad) you can then record one channel while watching another.The Foxsat is great! Good HD too!
