Freesat PVR – FINALLY!

October 23, 2008 | By | Add a Comment

UPDATE! Humax have updated their web site with details and you can read the PDF leaflet HERE.

After months of waiting it is finally official!  Join Freesat has today announced that Freesat+ (aka the Humax PVR Freesat box) will launch in mid-November, and here it is!

Those all important specs:

320Gb Hard Disk (200 hours of SD, 80 hours of HD recording)
Dual Freesat tuners (watch one channel, record another, or record two simultaneously)
8 day EPG

As well as (taken directly from Join Freesat):
Series recording – to automatically record all the episodes of your favourite shows
Radio recording – never miss your favourite radio shows by recording individual shows, or even series record
Live pause and instant rewind – in case you need to answer the phone or replay that crucial scene
Schedule tracking – so recordings start and finish on time, even when broadcasters change their schedule
Split recordings – to record two-part programmes that may have a break in the middle for a news bulletin, such as films

The cost? RRP is £299, expect that to be discounted slightly by online retailers.  An official release date is still awaited, but it’s just a few short weeks away now.

In other news, if anyone wants to buy my regular Humax HD decoder after I’ve secured my PVR, give me a shout :)
