    hello guys. i've just bought my first humax product in the 1000s and noticed it doesn't have an epg for non freesat channels. i wondered if maybe humax would update their firmware to include this in a future update. any thoughts?

    Not Likely. In any case only now and next would be possible.

    thanks for the reply. as a matter of interest, do any of the humax freesat models have an epg for non freesat channels?

    Doesn't seem likely. Freesat presumably charges channel providers for entry into the EPG. If Freesat boxes had an alternative EPG for non-Freesat channels, that might cut into Freesat's income.

    I don't think there is a Freesat box of any make that also has a 7 day EPG for non-Freesat channels. There are some non-Humax, non-Freesat, generic receivers that advertise a 7 day EPG. How good that claim is I don't know as I have never tried one.
    As to a possible future update to the 1000S, I would put money on it not happening.
