    I bought a FOXSAT HDR about 2 years ago, but for various reasons did not install it. I now wish to fire it up. Are there any considerations that I should be aware of. Thanks in advance ... Pete in SW France.

    Only that the software will be somewhat out of date. You will most likely need to update it using a usb stick.

    Graham, thanks for your suggestion. Sorry, I'm really new ... so I guess I download onto a USB stick from my PC? How do I go about this

    I'll jump in here and help for a mo:

    Software can also be found:

    http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/freesat-hd

    About half way down page you need Foxsat-HDR_1.00.21.zip

    Click on the download link and save to PC. Extract and you will find software file, and a txt file with instructions on how to upload to Foxsat.

    Graham a bit quicker then me

    All now working ok after loading updated software. Did a software check from the box and it reported no new software to download.
    So thanks very much for your advice.
