What is Freesat with Freetime?

Do I need to pay monthly for the recorder?

What are the dimensions of the recorder?

The unit measures approximately 28 cm wide, 4.8 cm high, and 20 cm deep.

Does it come with an HDMI cable?

An HDMI cable is not included with the Humax HDR-1100S and will need to be purchased separately if you do not already have one.

Troubleshooting

No channels found after initial scan

Check that the satellite cable is securely connected to both the LNB and the recorder. Ensure your satellite dish is correctly aligned and has a clear line of sight to the satellite.

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi

Verify your Wi-Fi network name and password are correct. Ensure the recorder is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Try restarting your router and the Humax recorder.

Recordings are failing or incomplete

Check the available storage space on the hard drive. Ensure the recorder is not trying to record more than two programs simultaneously if you are also watching live TV. Verify signal strength for the channels you are trying to record.

On-demand services not loading

Confirm your Wi-Fi connection is active and stable. Check if the specific on-demand service is available in your region. Restart the Humax recorder and your router.

Picture freezes or breaks up

Check the satellite cable connection and signal strength. If the issue persists, it may be a temporary broadcast issue or a problem with the satellite dish alignment.
