Hi.
I've just purchased the Humax HDR-1100S, after dumping Virgin (got too expensive)
I downloaded the used manual, and it stated.............
Recordings — Only accessible if paired with an USB Hard Drive (HDD)
I got a bit confused, as it has a 1 TB hard drive in it doesn't it?

Hi welcome to our forum. You must be reading the manual for a HB-1000/1010S.
Assuming you have a HDR-1100S the hard drive it comes with could be 500GB 1TB or 2TB if bought from Humax direct.
How many satellite f connectors are there on the rear one or two ?
Many thanks for the fast reply.
Oh right, thanks for the link.
I do indeed have the HDR-1100S unit, with two satellite (shotgun) connectors, and a 1 TB HHD.
I actually bought it from john Lewis's.
thanks again. 
PS
I forgot to mention....
how does one subscribe to post's here please?

No problem
The manual you were reading is for the single tuner Freesat HB-xxxxS boxes. They use a portable usb hard drive to provide live pause and to record to. Ideal as a 2nd box for say a bedroom. It's the first link on the Humax support site with the HDR-1100S the second link.

Got it now thanks.;)
Erm, another question..........
I only fitted the box yesterday to an existing Sky Satellite dish.
I think the dish might want aligning, as the quality is not too good.
Everything works OK apart from taking a while to load and the quality.
Would this be down to the dish?
If so I'll have to get a professional, as I haven't got a clue where it should point

It uses the same satellites and orbital point as Sky (28.2E).
The dish alignment may need tweaking. For the main UK channels like BBC1-HD you should easily get 100% signal 100% quality as these use very tight UK spot beam transponders so field strength in the UK is very high. If not in the UK then a approx location is needed.
