Finally.. the day I’ve been waiting for, the new Humax Freesat+ box (aka the foxsat-hdr) has been released. This shiny new box will allow me to finally become detached from the satellite hard drive recording monopoly known as Sky+. Sadly, due to web site issues, my initial order at Comet which would have seen the box arrive this Monday (24th) did not happen, and by the time I had replaced the order it was too late. My box will now arrive a week on Monday (1st) so there’ll be a full geek-like review then.
For now, I’ll let you bask in its glossy glory:

It’s currently still available from Comet… click here to take a look. Search for FOXSAT.

No Sky Sports though
It’s worth the 70 odd quid a month or whatever the rip off is just for SS.
