Humax to announce portal services at IBC 2010

Humax is to announce new portal services for its internet-enabled set-top boxes, at the IBC conference in Amsterdam, in September.

The web portal provides access to online TV services and other content.

Humax’s Freesat and Freeview HD set-top boxes include the BBC iPlayer service.

The company will demonstrate its much talked about HDR-FOX T2 Freeview recorder at the show, which is effectively a home networking solution which can link up other networked devices and stream content.

The HDR-Fox T2 can receive Freeview HD broadcasts to one of two tuners and record them to a 500GB hard drive.

The recordings can also be stored on external USB devices, for sharing with other Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices.
