That is exactly what I am saying.

The whole point of the exercise is not if you can get HD but if the size of the dish you install can be reduced as to the Humax having good sensitivity. HD would just be a bonus. :)

How is HD reception? Well I have plugged it into the HDMI input of a Sony Bravia TV and the output picture is excellent but.... the output received is a 561i resolution picture and not full HD this is ture with all the channels. Full HD I have not seen, as you can not get ITV HD due to the...

Hi Zorba, That is quite correct I see by your details that you are also in Cyprus send me a private email and You can come round and see it for yourself. Its an excellent machine, Mind you the dish must be aligned properly. Cos32 :)

Hi to all in the post well, there is No EPG on Freesat if you live in Cyprus as you can not get the frequancy of the transponder which is stated in privious posts. Everything relies on that transponder. The box (Humax) works just as an ordenary FTA receiver the only plus side that I can see is...

Well I received a reply from Humax as I went to the source and you can read for your selfs what the reply was. Thank You for tour email. When you go through the initial setup with the Foxsat, it checks your post code against a database broadcast by freesat, to give you the correct UK regional...

No as I do not hat the 0 in the post code I use. I have tried several with no luck.

Hi Well there is 4mtr dish on top of the house and all ITV and BBC channels are available apart from those on the V transponder on 2D. Not found ITV HD and not sure if its obtainable here. I have also tried the Humax with a 2.7mtr dish and have noticed that the tuner in the Humax is superior...

Do you have any problems in insterting a UK post code in the set up procedure as mine will not accept any post code. Cos32

I don't think it is a box problem, going into manual mode the box does scan and download the FTA channels, so the box is working in a fashion. I have just written to Humax lets see if they respond, I told them I am in Cyprus and what the problem is, I have not seen any mention about not using it...

Hi there I have already tried all sorts of combinations and all sorts of post codes..but nothing. Cos32

Hello to all, I wonder if anyone can help me, I have just bought a Humax HD freesat box to Cyprus. If I try to go through the Freesat menu it asks for a post code. No matter what post code I put in even my UK post code it just will not accept it. Does anyone know why? As a freesat box does...

Sorry I did not make myself clear. BBC HD is on the listings it's that we just can pick it up in Cyprus (No satellite signal). Cos32

Hi Yan75 First of all let me say that I am also in Limassol and have a 3.8mtr dish and you are quite correct with a size that big you will rareley have any problems only in savear weather. I also have Sky HD and that works very well and it is exelent there are only 2 channals so far that we...

I also ordered a viewing card for a NEW box and yes it does need to be authorized by phone just as it used to be done with the MK1 cards. I had to phone them twice the first guy just asked for the viewing card number, I waited for 6 hours with no luck then phoned them up again, this time a lady...
