Yes. However the Humax Freesat HDR requires two cables from your satellite to get the twin tuner part to work. It is recommended get your satellite engineer to fit a quad LNB to allow for further expansion. Two cables (or more) can be run from one satellite. If you have a standard installation you will probably only have one cable running from the satellite. I f you haven’t got two satellite cables running from your satellite dish but still want to use your Humax Foxsat HDR 320GB pvr you can use the loop through method, but bear in mind that you won”t have all the functionality of the Humax Foxsat HDR as the loop through method is generally used with standard set top box PVRs. The loop through method involves the signal cable being looped through the PVR, allowing pause and rewind of TV programmes and play back functions. This is fully explained in the instruction manual.
