Until recently I was using a Sonorous IR Repeater to work my Humax FOXSAT-HDR which is housed in a cupboard. The IR Receiving Probe got iknocked out of place and however much I try I cannot get it back into a position that works. Can anyone tell me where the IR sensor receiving window is on the front cover?
Thanks

When you find it, scratch the grey coating off the inside. It will make the remote far more responsive. IIRC it's just to the left of the display and it's circular.

Grasp the top left and top right and pull down the front flap. As Trev says it's just left of the rectangular window. If you install the custom firmware from AV forums you can use a smart phone or tablet (anything with a web browser) to control the box. The control can also add user macros like the shortcut to display the guide - schedule - red
No need for a infra red repeater.

If the box is in a cupboard, that will require a repeater GLT. I missed that first time around as well. But scratching off the film with a plastic tool is still relevant.

There's a smaller version suitable for use with a smart phone.

Thank you Trev and Graham. Have located the sensor, scratched the coating, re-positioned the probe and it works. Cheers

Ah, yes, I see. Using the CF RC needs no repeater. I missed that first time around.
