Humax foxsat HD allows you to receive Freesat reception. Freesat is a Satellite service from the BBC and ITV. It is a
subscription-free TV service offering over 80 TV, radio and interactive
channels broadcast from the Astra and Eurobird satellites.
This receiver can receive HD channels broadcast on FREESAT and bringing out the full benefit of your HDTV.
The Humax Foxsat has an HDMI output,
which is the best way to watch hi-def channels or standard-def channels
upscaled to 1080i or 720p. Alternatively you can use the component
output (which supports HD), composite or SCART, the latter offering
RGB, S-video and composite video output. A second SCART allows you to
hook up to your VCR or DVD recorder.
There is also an optical digital audio output that allows you to
connect the unit to your AV receiver and listen to Dolby Digital
broadcasts found on channels like BBC HD. The Ethernet port
that isn't enabled at present, but in the future will enable you to
access IPTV services (such as BBC's iPlayer), it also has an USB port that can be
used to upload software updates. The box supports 7-day EPG and digital teletext.
