Nice to be here.

I hope I can add to the forum by being ofhelp and sharing my Humax experience.

I have recently purchased a Freesat HDR 1100s to replace Sky.

Main reason for purchase?

All-sorts really:

Skycosts, not watching Sky content, but one reason was the Netflix feature. I used to watch thru my PS3 but now it’s all thru my Humax, and for some reason, the picture quality seems slightly better.

Another reason for choosing Freesat was the radio. Yes you can record radio on Sky but you cannot select an individual radio program to record ( without doing it manually…). The Humax allows you to. A big plus for me.

Any glitches thus far?

Just one:

Occasionally after bringing the Humax out of standby, the welcome screen and TV guide appears minimised at the top left hand corner. Bit annoying. And horrid of by powering off and back on again.

I did call Humax about this and they said it was an HDMI cable issue. To be honest I got a bit miffed about this as it was the cable that came supplied and they would not send another.

Anyhoo I swapped the cable for a high speed one and since then no problems.

I’ve a couple more questions that I will post in the right lists at a later date.
