Hi, I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer to this question.
I have a Humax HDR fox t2 freeview box which I purchased in the uk and have been using here,
I'm moving to germany near frankfurt and would like to know if it will work over there?

Hi,
I'm assuming you mean for local German TV only.
There are a few things you need to be aware of, Germany doesn't support DVB-T2 so the equivalent HD won't be available, They do have HD via mpeg4 and in theory this should work. Some channels require a viewing card for HD though. What will work is SD standard definition, however only via a normal aerial. Most German flats/appartments use cable and according to the specs for the Humax it only supports UHF i.e. normal aerial and not cable.
iplayer won't work as you won't have a UK ip address, there are ways around this via vpn/proxy etc. Also Germany uses hbbtv for smart tv services and this is also not supported afaik with the hdr-fox-t2To recap, if the address has a normal aerial connection then you'll be able to receive SD, I think anything else will be a bonus if it works. I'd imagine HD should work, however nobody's replied to confirm. If the address has a cable only connection then I can't see the hdr-fox-t2 working.
It's worthwhile taking it over, space permitting, at least you'll be able to watch your recorded stuff and possibly download/copy new material on to it. Let us know how you get on| Mon 13 May 2013 13:32:49 #2 | -
Thanks for the detailed reply, I think I will take the box with me and see how I get on.
