Notice
Thank you for purchasing a Humax Foxsat-HDR
(Digital Television Recorder) Your Foxsat-HDR supports
freesat+ provided by the freesat service.
Freesat+ explained:
• Accurate Recording – the product will track the start and end times of scheduled recordings meaning
the recording will start and stop at the times sent by the broadcasters. If a programme starts early or
runs late the record time will automatically be adjusted to record the whole programme*.
• Series Recording – if a programme you wish to record is in a series, you can now record the whole
series.
• Schedule Tracking - If the programme changes to a dierent time or day the changes will be detected
and the programme will still record.
• Alternate Instances - if a scheduled recording(s) overlap with other programmes already set to
record, you will be given the option to record one of the programmes if it is repeated.
Split Recordings - if a programme has two parts split by another programme in the Guide (e.g. a lm
•
divided in to two parts by a News programme) both parts will record.
Note: The above freesat+ features are available on channels where the correct and accurate data is being
broadcast. Some channels may not support some/all services.
Accurate recording is only available when the Record > Early Start Time & Late End Time options are set
to On Time.
