Hi
I am interested in getting a Foxsat box, but was wondering if it is worth me paying more for the HDR or if i can get the same functionality cheaper just buying the HD and an external drive. a few questions which would help me decide;
1) what type of external HDD is required to record onto, does the HDD need an external power source, or would a portable 2.5" drive be ok?
2)is there any difference in user functionality when using the Foxsat HD with an external HDD, compared to the HDR? does the menu work/look exactly the same - could you even tell the differencve once everything is hooked up? or is it more of a 'faff' with an external hdd, having to specify location to save to, or requring more button presses to do the same things as you would with one click on the HDR?
3) How is the recording function effected with an ext HDD, can i still record one channel and watch another?
Thanks in advance
Joe
