    Just bought a NEW Humax Freesat HDR 1100s 500 GB recorder from Amazon. Not cheap but when you consider the cost of Sky subscriptions it pays for itself within 6 months.

      Send it back, the new box is now out and recording boxes will be out soon. Had the HDR1100s for a few years now and although it's good they are slow as hell, new box should be much faster.

    Humax was the best on the market and I had 2 boxes go within a few weeks of each other and I went to get another one only to find they have been with drawn and no longer being made. So now I'm stuck watching live t.v cause the hard drives went in both boxes. I'm eagerly awaiting this arris Freesat when ever it comes out.

      Maureen m you could consider replacing hard drives if thats all it is. I’ve not done it on a Freesat box, but it’s not a hard job on the Humax Freeview boxes. Hard drives are standard items.

    • @hcc6757
      @hcc6757 4 года назад

      These PVRs have standard 3.5-inch mechanical HDD drives, swapping to a new one takes 5 min literally. Open the box, remove the SATA power and data cables from the dud drive, swap over to new one and reboot. The PVR will ask you whether you want to format the new drive, say yes and job done. If you have a 500GB drive you can update to a 1TB as they're cheap as peanuts these days.

    I think all TVs should have a built in satellite receiver considering that most people have Sky dishes on their houses and many of these people have left Sky so could just revert to Freesat with no requirement for a box. I’ve been using Freesat for about 6 years now and think it’s great. Got a Humax 1100S box in lounge and Manhattan SX box in bedroom and always great signal and good choice of channels.

    See this announcement
    www.broadbandtvnews.com/2020/02/24/freesat-launches-third-generation-4k-tv-boxes/
    Amazon already have a non recording box
    www.amazon.co.uk/Freesat-4K-Box-Non-Recordable-Anthracite/dp/B07X46XVMD/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Freesat&qid=1582615624&sr=8-2
    From the article
    Freesat has announced the launch of a third generation of set-top boxes.
    The range includes three new recordable boxes and a zapper device. They’ll be available from Amazon from the end of February and from Currys PC World shortly afterwards.
    They’ve been developed in partnership with Commscope, the former ARRIS.
    In addition to the free-to-air satellite platforms 180 TV channels (including over 20 in HD), multiple radio channels and a wide range of On Demand players, including BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub, as well as optional pay streaming services such as Netflix and RUclips.
    The boxes are 4K ready, enabling a UHD viewing experience where such content is available incorporating a range of features including a 7-day backwards guide. Content from up to 4 channels can be recorded at any one time. The 2TB box can store up to 1,000 hours of SD content.
    Alistair Thom, Managing Director of Freesat said, “Our research has shown us time and again that customers appreciate the freedom of choice that our hybrid TV system offers and value the ability to curate their own viewing. Our new generation range of set top boxes allows them to do just that, with easy set-up, a huge range of viewing options and a fast, reliable service that is 4K ready. I’m confident that we’ve produced a platform that will grow and evolve in line with customers’ viewing habits.”
    The 4K TV Box 2TB box costs £269.99, while the zapper is £124.99.

    I'm after a PVR for freesat when i move in March. I hope Arris comes up with something that isn't too outrageously priced soon. They will be the only PVR which worries me for pricing. Freeview pointing to a main transmitter with all the FV channels and using Youview my only option. What u think?

    • @leepspvideo
      @leepspvideo  4 года назад +3

      Freesat offers a larger amount of channels pretty much guaranteed, it’s more about not being able to get a Freeview signal in some areas.
      If you are not off a main Freeview transmitter, you don’t get very many channels.
