Foxsat-HDR on a motorised dish?

[kenny]

On the face of it, with 2 inputs, I guess it would be possible to connect one to a fixed dish at 28e, getting the advantage of recording FTA channels and the other input to a single motorised dish, or better still a 4-way disecq. Is anyone using the receiver with this sort of configuration, and does it work well? Any indication of how sensitive the receiver is to marginal channels - like Sh*wtime, for instance? Thanks for any feedback

Check out TMull's comments on the iCord, as it's basically the same box.

If you set it up as motorized it only lets you use 1 LNB!

From what I have read it does not work with CAMS properly yet, so really it's just an FTA receiver.

Best to get a proper sat receiver!

hi all
got mine today all setup and working fine got mine to work with a dragan cam with a sky free view card in it and works a treat even got ch4 hd a brill bit of kit so far the only prob i have found so far is if you use the nonfreesat channels and you have series linked your pvr on freesat when you go back to freesat they have all gone and have to redo them again but never mind still a great box with ci support

Do you get a full motorised menu for tuning the dish?

How many sats/channels can it store?

@asteven

Got one but not tried it. Simply point dish at the required position and scan in 'non Freesat mode'. I cannot imagine it remembering positions once you move away. (You can then only view or record one chan @ 28e simultaneously). As the box is so buggy my guess is that it will fail your Freesat recordings whilst you are at non 28e and therefore in non Freesat mode. Hope that I am wrong on that one! Their Humax Customer Services phoneline is just music so that they can steal money from you via your phone bill and obviously e-mails go unanswered.

My mate decided to go for this.

I messed about with it for a bit, and it seems fine.

You can use it as FreeSat via input 1, then use input 2 on a disecq. They not not got motor, even though the box has that option.

Tested the Diab cam and works well.

Allows you to record from 13e for example and still watch Astra 2 ( non-Freesat mode and input 2 as a fixed dish).

Will look at it again at the weekend with the disecq setup.
