Thank you for purchasing a Humax HDR-FOX T2 Freeview+ HD
product.
Freeview+ HD explained:
• Accurate recording
The start and end times of scheduled recordings will track the signal 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 Link
If a programme you wish to record is in a series, you can now record the whole series. If the programme changes to
a dierent day or time the product will track these changes and still record the programme.
• Alternate Instances
If a scheduled recording(s) overlap with other programmes set to record you will be given the option to record one
of the programmes later that day or week, on the same channel or a dierent channel.
• Split Recordings
If a programme has two parts split by another entry in the Guide (e.g. a lm divided in to two parts by a News
programme) you will be given the option to set both parts to record.
Note: The above Freeview+ HD features are available on channels where the correct and accurate data is being
broadcast. Some channels may not support all of the Freeview+ HD services.
For more information on Freeview+ HD please visit http://www.freeview.co.uk/HD.
