Humax HDR-1100S Freesat+ HD Box (WiFi & 1TB w/ FreeTime)

Product Information

Our clever little set top boxes can translate the signals received by your dish and send them to your TV, so you can sit back and watch your favourite programme. You get access to around 170 channels, including all the major UK channels, some slightly more obscure UK channels, some foreign-language channels and the usual specialist sport, adult, special interest and religious odds and ends.

Freesat is a free to air subscription free service which provides you with access to the nations favourite selection of TV channels. The downside is that you need to provide the hardware for it to run on and the storage for it to record to (i. You will be prompted about series recording and programme clashes so you never miss any of your favourites. Stream On Demand content, record unmissable programmes or pause live TV so you can make yourself a cup of tea.If your box still doesn't connect to your wifi network after a restart, try connecting to the internet using an Ethernet cable (not supplied). If the remote is infrared there are many universal remotes available, just make sure it is a 'learning' type so all functions can be mapped. If you’re only interested in getting the free channels, without a lot of fanfare, this is a solid, cheap box. Weirdly, there’s still no Channel 4 app or HD catch-up service, but at least you can now watch The Great British Bake-Off, Taskmaster or The Great in glorious HD without switching to a streaming stick.

Easy set up with intuitive remote control, set up takes minutes with the built in on screen instructions and simple to use hand held remote. Freesat is the satellite equivalent of Freeview, delivering SD and HD programmes and digital radio to your TV via a satellite dish. My problem was that the aerial is the opposite side of the room to the TV, and the OH didn’t want a cable, and I didn’t want to go into the crawl space.Moreover this solution is too expensive for a person using internet input to the Freesat tuner only from time to time. In the TV Guide you will easily be able to select what programmes, movies and Radio shows to record, by selecting the programme and pressing the record button on the remote. This Wi-Fi dongle simply plugs into the rear USB socket of your Humax Box and bingo, you get Wi-Fi access to your box.
