Using Raspberry Pi with Raspbmc & Humax HDR Foxt2
You may also be able to use open ELEC but I haven’t tried this as for some time as I found raspbmc worked better for me.
You will need:
A Humax HDR FOX T 2 with DLNA Enabled, networked (mine is via ethernet)
Optional – for HD content –...
You can enable auto-unprotect but the 'demux' script is still done manually at present, Black Hole I don't think auto shrink yet includes the addition of auto demux - this is the part that sorts the streams so the TV will play via it's built in DLNA media player.
You are correct I have auto unprotect enabled so hd content works over dlna ;-)
Very impressed with my humax, thanks to cfw its the best purchase I've made for some time.
And my family agree

GREAT NEWS!!
License keys arrived, put sd card in pc and added them to config.txt and booted raspbmc, pi with hardware mpeg2 now plays everything off my humax!
No decrypt or demuxing just raspbmc rc4 and the mpeg license (I also purchased and installed vc1)
Sd recordings work, I can select...
:-)
Well I ordered my 2 codes for a total of £3.60, Raspbmc rc4 installed and tv remote control / CEC is working perfect for me in this build, now to wait for order to be processed and keys emailed
Yes the broadcom chip in it can hardware decode but to keep cost down they didn't license it, 2.40 buys a license attached to the serial number in the chip.
VC-1 can also be purchased for 1.40
And for free the .h264 hardware encoding is now enabled so I believe people are working on making it...
Raspi now can have MPEG2 support - £2.40 for the license key!

Here's hoping over bank holiday weekend I get time to buy the license and try it out!
Thanks for the explanations - here's hoping the once promised extra bandwidth after switchover doesn't all go to 4g and we get a few more hd channels in future.
Agree regarding some of the sd channels, a few are so compressed it's horrible but hats off to the technical guys who have made...
I'm wondering if the 301hd channel currently available is using whatever bandwidth would normally be reserved for OTA ? Was really surprised to see a hd version of 301
Is there any post from Humax saying they will not ?
I know they'll probably not but the site did say this, although that's not IPTV is it
Internet TV Portal (Sky Player, Catch Up TV, Internet Radio and etc are available) future upgrade*
* Not available at launch, in development.
Hi Question is did you split the aerial ?
I extended aerial to bedroom and those 2 channels are the weakest on rowridge (I'm on IOW) horizontal, if I have TV in bedroom and humax on these break up on one of the devices.
My choices (well to do list is as follows)
1) get a decent group A log...
