Humax HD-Fox T2 review

Gallery

Verdict:

It's the simplest way to get HD, but it's expensive considering it only has a single tuner.

But how many TVs currently on the market (or very soon to be released) have Freeview HD tuners?

I would like to replace my CRT in time for the World Cup because football is where I notice its shortcomings (unclear shirt numbers, just an example), and I'm gradually concluding that 32" is the optimum side for SD.

Sorry, 'optimum SIZE' *blush*

I think Sony have just brought out a 32 inch model with HD tuner for less than £600.

The expert Reviews Newsletter states this is is the world's first Freeview HD set top box. This is incorrect. Maybe it is the first one in the UK.

In Australia the ABC and commercial channels have provided Freeview (free to air television) in HD 1080i and 720p for some years and there are many Freeview HD set top boxes including PVRs with twin HD tuners. Examples are Topfield TRF 2400 Topfield TRF 7150 & Beyonwiz FVL1500, LG MS409D and Tivo. As well as providing free to air HD recording, some models provide streaming of network content.

The free-to-air (non-Sky)satellite tuner market has been established in the U.K. over 20 years. It has been "Freeview" for ever, since analogue days.
There are several quality HD tuners which will access Freeview.
They get no mention from any broadcaster, including the BBC. The U.K.media seem to conspire to limit the knowledge of them.
