but if not set 576p resolution in preference to 1080i - here
the numbers are not what they seem despite what that salesman
told you !
i = interlaced scan( the old system we've had for 50 years
) p=progressive scan - best on new displays

Humax FOXSAT-HDR 320GB
Twin tuner PVR set-top box for the ITV/BBC supported Freesat service.
100s of channels available, in both digital and high definition,
including BBC and ITV digital channels.
The Humax FOXSAT-HDR Freesat+ HD Receiver is the brand new twin
tuner 320gb hard drive receiver from Humax, for use on the Freesat
satellite television platform.
This sleek black unit with smoked perspex front panel hides
the very latest in PVR technology, allowing you to record up
to 160 hours of standard-definition programming, or 80 hours
in high-definition.
For use on the Freesat satellite television platform, this
twin tuner receiver offers similar functionality to Sky+, without
the subscription costs. By connecting two cables from your satellite
dish to this PVR, you can record one channel whilst watching/recording
or another or even record two channels whilst playing back something
you've previously recorded. Combining this with the Freesat
EPG, setting up recordings couldn't be easier, just find the
programme you want on the On Screen Menu, press record, and
that's it, no manual timers entering time on and time off, channel
number etc..
Connections include HDMI, Scart, Optical Out and LNB In (x
2). The Humax PVR also has two USB ports, one front, one back
and will be capable of linking up to an external hard drive
for further storage capacity. The included Ethernet port will
allow data transfer via FTP client to your computer, allowing
for 100mb/sec transfer speeds, this however is a planned addition
for a future roll out (not available from launch).
