Would you go for the extra space of the 1TB model or is 500gb plenty? (we found the 160gb ok on the 9200T but we did'nt have HD to think about).
A matter of personal preference and viewing habits. We have the 1TB model but could probably manage with the 500MB model.

Thanks again
I always say you should go for the best you can afford. I think the 1TB model is worth the extra.
O.k
Can anyone forsee me having any problems with the shop returning/exchanging the dtr t1000? Not exactly sure what the consumer rights are.
Got it changed today for the HDR Fox T2 the 1Tb.
Can you advise the best way to get the latest humax upates plus the custom update and anything else I need before I get it set up.
I used to update my 9200T with my pc as it never did it throught the ariel for some reason.
Cheers

The latest software is 1.02.32; it may be installed on the box. If not you can download it from http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/downloads/hdr-foxt2
I would suggest getting used to the standard firmware before installing the custom firmware (The user interface on the TV looks identical with or without the custom firmware; the additional features of the custom firmware are accessed via a web browser from a PC etc); when you are ready you can get it from http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Custom_Firmware_Overview.
I think you talked about adding padding to recordings but I suggest you experiment with relying on accurate recording without padding which works very well for us on the HDR.
Ok thanks I'll plug it in and see whats on there, will it put the latest software on itself via the ariel using the update scan or does it need to be via pc?
Why is it not good to use the padding? I just found it useful if the program ended after it should have, in the case of my 9200T it would chop the end off! or is the new box more inteligent?

An manual update scan will only pick up updates when they are being transmitted which is typically only for two or three days every couple of months. In addition for some unfathomable reason 1.02.32 has not been transmitted so far although it is being installed on production boxes.

The 9200 had a bug that could in some circumstances lead to it chopping off program endings; the implementation of accurate recording is much better on the HDR. If you have padding then you greatly increase the possibility of scheduling clashes. The choice is yours; all I am saying is that don't automatically assume that you need to use work arounds that may been important on the 9200. Try it without and then implement them where you find the need.
Ok thanks, the software version is 1.02.29 so I guess it needs sorting via my pc.
Also its very much like my 9200T I can work my way round very easily. The T1000 was different altogether.
Is the manual tuning still the preferred method of channel searching?
