Humax HD-FOX T2 review

Best Freeview HD receiver, Awards 2011. No satellite dish, no cable, just high-definition images. This is a very impressive Freeview HD set-top box

Thoughtful, versatile design ; learning remote ; great Freeview image ; dynamic sound

A little pricier than its rivals ; won't output DD 5.1 on Freeview HD broadcasts

Best Freeview HD receiver, Awards 2011. If you want the joy of Freeview HD, this is the best way to do it – simples

Humax HD-FOX T2 review

First Freeview HD box brings free high definition TV to the masses

Free HD programming ; Good network streaming ; Good SD and HD pictures

No PVR function yet ; Can't read HD movie files ; No Wi-Fi

Humax HD-Fox T2 receiver

Humax are the first company to bring Freeview HD to market with their HD-Fox T2 set-top box. The company has enjoyed success with its PVR solutions and is known for its Freesat decoders too, so it's no surprise to find them leading the pack in the...

Free HD channels, connectivity, compact, media player functions

Limited format support for media playback

As a set-top box it performs perfectly well when fed a good signal. Freeview HD content looks beautiful and you'll find yourself watching Coronation Street in HD just because you can. But the real treat is getting access to the likes of BBC's drama and...

Humax HD-FOX T2 review

Freeview TV has expanded recently into high-definition broadcasts. But there are several important catches about receiving free-to-air terrestrial HD programmes.

We’re looking forward to seeing tuner cards and USB adaptors to turn a media-centre PC into a Freeview HD-viewing platform; but until then the Humax serves as a good entry point as a standalone set-top box with networking potential.

Humax HD-FOX T2 review

By set-top box standards it's pricey, but it does do HD. So, should you bag one before the World Cup kicks off?

You're paying a premium, but if you want free HD, the Humax HD-FOX T2 is very impressive

Humax HD-FOXT2

HD TV down your aerial is now possible, some people do not want it with a PVR and this solution from Humax is one such option. So currently apart from all the standard definition stations channels 50-52 are HD channels.

This unit does allow access to a DLNA server via Ethernet and as it also has a USB port you can show or listen to external content by either of those methods so a slide show of your holiday snaps is now easily shown on your TV and you can even have...

Humax HD-Fox T2 Freeview HD receiver

First Freeview HD receiver, for the early adopter keen to sample the latest in hi-def broadcasting.

Judging Humax’s HD-Fox T2 purely on performance it’s hard to find much at fault. Its closest subscription-free rival is Freesat, which it kicks in to the long grass with a much prettier EPG; by listing ITV HD as a dedicated channel and by the imminent...
