Humax reveals more details of its new Freesat+ PVR

Available in UK stores from mid-November, the twin-tuner Foxsat-HDR will be able to pause, rewind and record Freesat high-definition digital TV, as well as access an expanding choice of standard-definition TV, radio and interactive channels.

The 320GB hard drive can store up to 80 hours of HD programming, or up to 200 hours of SD material.

An eight-day electronic programme guide makes it easy to check out the Freesat TV schedule, and two Freesat channels can be recorded simultaneously.

Other advanced features of the unit include series recording, radio recording, schedule tracking (so recordings start and finish on time) and split recordings (to record two-part programmes that may have a break in the middle for the news, such as films).
