Freesat And Apricot: Barry Fox Reports On Two Product Introductions - One New Andthe Other A Revival

摘要

The first Freesat+ recorder, the FOXS AT-HDR from Humax, is now on sale for ￡300, and Freesat is finally offering consumers advice - albeit none too clear - on what kind of dish they need to let a dual tuner recorder record one channel while watching another, or record two channels. Humax told Freesat soon after the May '08 service launch that it was essential to warn consumers of the need to install a dual LNB for future use of a recorder, because Humax feared future calls from confused customers. Freesat acknowledged in July '08 'that there needs to be further information on installation, etc, so this is definitely something that is in development and will be improved upon over the next few weeks.' In early Oct '08 there was still no sign of advice. Now there is advice in the Freesat website FAQ, but it is still not clear.
