Humax ready to roll with Freeview HD DVR

HDR-Fox T2 out this month

Cloud based data management

Humax will release its long-awaited Freeview HD DVR later this month.

The set-top box, which features multiple tuners to allow you to view one channel while recording another, includes a 500GB hard drive - good for 125 hours of HD content, Humax said.

Still got nothing to watch? The HDR-Fox T2 has a USB port into which you can connected external storage containing photos, music and videos which the DVR will play through your telly.

The box also has an Ethernet port to pick up content served from locally networked computers and, as Humax put it, "the future delivery of broadband content".

Fingers crossed for BBC iPlayer then, though that may have to wait until Project Canvas - which is backed by Humax - completes its IPTV standard.

At that price..

For £350 I would expect it to have seven tuners too.

I got the FreeSat version a year ago for around £250, smaller HDD yes but not £100 worth of smaller!

Great...

... until the £350 bit. Any justification for paying double the asking price for the SD equivalent, other than "early adopter penalty"? We're in the market to buy something like this (having been bitten by the demise of the 4TV EPG) but not at that price, ta muchly.

In this day and age

How hard would it be for someone to actual make one of these that could do more than record one channel and watch another. How about being able to simultaneously record, say, six channels and watch a seventh that you then decide to pause?

Or shall I just get my coat?
