This is possible using a digital modulator and a Freeview PVR. The Digital modulator creates a single channel DVB-T HD channel Mux using the UHF carrier of your choice. the pvr can this tune like any other HD mux. The cheaper ones don't Dolby Digital so you would have to set the box to output PCM stereo.

Which Humax PVR do you have ?
Be aware that the recordings may have a much larger filesize using this method than regular freeview HD recordings.
That was certainly the case when I tried this although with a different make of HDMI modulator. It's fine for feeding an HDMI signal over coax though in DVB-T2 format.
