    Good Points: Easy set-up, great picture better than SKY, Good sound


    Bad Points: Much to Hot


    General comments: Help my Humax Foxsat-HD Box gets very hot, over 42 degrees ( my thermometer only goes up to 42 degrees). The thing is, this is the second box in two weeks that ' s got so hot, I unplugged every cable except the sat dish LNB, still to hot on the top, bottom and the sides.
    Any ideas

    I bought this as Freeview reception isn't great in my area, and I have a satellite feed into my flat.
    Wasn't sure it would work, but, 5 minutes after plugging it in, I was flicking through all the channels.
    The picture quality is far better than my freeview box, I think this is a combination of the upscaling, and the "blockiness" of the freeview channels isn't present.
    Thoroughly recommend this box. I'm not sure the recordable version of this box is worth the extra 100 quid - also I wanted the c ...

    The Humax Foxsat HD Freesat Digital TV Recorder is a great item.
    Insulation is a breeze especially if you are familiar with computers. I have connected the recorder to my Panasonic Vera with HD freesat built in, using three L.N.B. inputs, means I should be able to record two programs and watch another live on the tv if necessary.

    All I can say is simply, the Foxsat HD Freesat Receiver is an excellent piece of kit.
    It works flawlessly, and does a sterling job of displaying High Definition pictures, though I wish there were more on Freesat, but this will change in time.
    Looking forward to the channel numbers increasing since launch.
    The price of around £150 may put some buyers off, but there are bargains out there to be had.
    Humax have just released a PVR version of the Foxsat HD, which may entice buyers to go for t ...

    Plenty of channels to choose from although many 'pay' channels are scrambled. No more monthly direct debits!

    If you want a good quality receiver and no more monthly payments this is the way to go. However, if you heavily into sport Freesat is not the place to go as all sport channels are pretty much scrambled.

    Just installed this rather attractive, compact, box to the same dish that used to be attached to an old Sky box.I'm dubious of manufacturers' claims of 'Simple installation' but, in this case, it is justified. Each step is explained on screen and the Instruction Manual does not need consulting (a boost for us guys!).The box picked up all the SD (Standard Definition) channels as well as the free BBC HD channel. The ITV HD channel is available via the remote control's red button - as and when it i ...
