| Freesat+ |

If a programme has two parts split by another programme in the programme guide (e.g. a film divided into two parts by a news programme) both parts will automatically record.
Recordings are stored in folders named after the programmes being recorded. The Freesat+ receiver will automatically store all programmes of the same name, in the same folder.
In addition to this, it is possible for you to set up your own folders, allowing you to easily manage your personal media.
The USB port allows you to store music and photos on the hard drive, as well as television recordings. You can transfer music and photos to your freesat+ receiver using a USB stick or external hard drive. |

Technically, it is possible for the FOXSAT-HDR to record up to four programmes at the same time; however this feature will not be enabled on the release version but could be a free feature upgrade in the future. |

With a 320GB hard drive the Humax FOXSAT-HDR is capable of recording about 200 hours of standard definition programmes, or around 80 hours in high definition (HD). The receiver can collect the whole freesat 7 day electronic programme guide (EPG) in around 30 seconds.
