- now you can watch and record different channels at the same time!

Live in a flat or apartment with only a single line in from the satellite dish?

If so, you can’t watch one channel and record another – Until Now!

Record one channel while you watch another despite being in a flat with only one input from the Satellite dish.

Here’s how:

1. You need a Humax FOXSAT-HDR – this is a combined Freesat Box and Hard Drive Recorder PVR all in one unit. Here are the current best prices we can find for this bit of kit:

2. Connect your satellite cable into the ‘LNB 1 In’ socket.

3. You need to get a Female to Female fly lead to connect the ‘LNB 2 In’ socket to the ‘LNB 1 out’ socket.

IMPORTANT – for your safety, and the safety of your equipment, please make sure that the machine is SWITCHED OFF at the mains before you make any of the above connections.

And that’s all you need to do! You will only be able to watch and record channels in the ‘same quadrant’ but it’s quite an impressive list (see below) and really does give a new choice to those in flats and apartments with only a single line in.

The Humax FOXSAT-HDR is currently the only device that allows you to do this, so it gets a big thumbs up from us at Hard Drive Recorders 4U – and we’re big fans of most products that come from the Humax stable, so it has a good pedigree too!

The solution is not perfect, but it is a whole lot better than any other option – you should be able to watch one channel and record another from one of the four bands below.
