I know, if like me you have been waiting for the Humax HD-CI2000 then you might me intrested in this:
HD-CI2000 User guide
If you have a look at page 79 at the specification, if says that the box is MPEG 2 not MPEG 4? Does this mean that it won't work with the latest HD FTA channels and 4.2.2?
Also have a look at this, I know its in Polish but its intresting anyway:
Humax HD-CI2000 site (Polish)
Hope you find this intresting.

Also it mentions the DVB S2 tuner which is a new capability required.
Info re the similar Humax 1000 in Germany suggests it will not be 422 compliant.

Makes looking at the manual easier!

There is no Mpeg 2 4:2:2 support
Can you watch a recoprding before it has finished recording?
Can you watch a recording whilst recording 2 other programmes?
What size hard drive has it got?
Is this upgradeable?
Wasn't aware it recorded at all!!!! :eek:
H
Not much good then??
Alan
Lots of use I would say.

HD-CI2000 for sale
Another site with HD-CI2000 for sale
Both sites say that this unit is MPEG-2 as does the user guide, what gives? The press release that we've all seen clearly says MPEG-4. Wait and see I guess.
See the Humax site info on the HD1000 HERE
Don't forget Quali and Kaon both sell or will be very soon HD receivers, I think the Koan has an HDD also

New HD-CI2000 Information sheet
Lots of things to look at here!
Have also see on one of the retail pages posted above that stock is expected to be in on the 30/03/2006 in the UK.

No guarentee that they actually have them in stock, or it might even just be a con - you know what eBay's like.
And if you do buy, you probably don't have the same rights as when you buy it in a shop.
You might be able to order one now, but will they be in the shops before your order actually arrives?
If anyone goes for one of these, let us know the result.
Don't suppose the update will include 4.2.2 capability ?
I'd wait for a PVR type sat box perhaps like the new Koan or Quali-tv one, more expensive obviously but worth it if you want to record anything HD - I'm sure many will want to show off to their freinds and shout loud "look this is the first BBC HD broadcast !" :cool: :cool:
Supports MPEG-4 and 2.6.4. Have a look at the spec sheet on page 4.
With respect of course it will support mpeg4. It would be totally ridiculous to being out a brand new sat box when the new HD standard was 'set in stone' months ago
But what on earth is 2.6.4 ?!
