Humax FOXSAT-HD Freesat receiver review

 

Sky's subscription stranglehold on high-def broadcasting means that many people simply can't afford to experience HD TV for themselves. But thanks to Freesat – a joint venture between the BBC and ITV which offers over 80 TV and radio channels via...

Operating system, high-def pictures, non-Freesat mode, connections

Humax FOXSAT-HD Freesat Receiver

 

If you can't get a Freeview signal or don't want Sky, Humax's FOXSAT-HD Freesat Receiver could well be the answer.

If you're interested in getting Freesat then we really can't recommend the FOXSAT-HD highly enough. It's incredibly fast and easy to use, delivers solid HD and SD picture quality and at £150 it won't break the bank. Our only criticism is that Humax...

Humax Foxsat-HD (freesat) review

 

The Humax Foxsat-HD is a top class high-definition receiver and gets the freesat service off to a great start. All that's needed now is more freesat HD channels to truly make the most of its high definition capabilities

Great picture quality ; Good range of outputs ; Easy to use ; Compact and stylish

Remote control could be better ; EPG presentation could be improved

Conclusion The Foxsat-HD may be one of the first freesat box to hit the market, but it already feels like a mature product. It's fast, user friendly and offers great picture quality, but manages to pack all this into a compact and stylish box. We just...

Humax Foxsat-HD

 

This stylish Freesat box certainly looks the part - and its user-friendly performance is equally impressive

Exceptionally smart and well-styled EPG and menu screens ; pictures are clean and stable ; HD performance is very impressive

Slight softness to SD picture and thin sound performance

Bright and punchy colours Switch to the brilliant Peep Show on Channel 4, and the stability that the FOXSAT-HD provides is immediately impressive – noise levels are very low, and difficult patterns remain generally solid.

Review: Humax Foxsat-HD Freesat receiver

 

Get free-to-air HD channels via satellite

Easy to install ; quick setup ; intuitive menus ; good-quality HD picture

Occasional lip sync problem with BBC HD ; Ethernet port not used

The Foxsat-HD impresses as one of the first of its kind, but the lip sync needs sorting and the lack of HD channels limits its appeal at present

Humax Foxsat-HD (freesat)

 

The Humax Foxsat HD is simply, to me, a "what is says on the tin" job. Its great, I found it very user friendly, I mean sure the manual is a bit... lacking in friendliness but its easy to get your head round. Upon using the Humax set-up with out any...

Easy set-up, BBC iPlayer integration is easy to use

Remote is cheap
