Just out of interest, are you ever going to release firmware that allows recording to an external USB stick or HDD?  I note that there are several STB''s currently on the market that allow this, and i''''d really like to be able to do it with my HT3000!  :)

Hi,

The answer is no as we cannot meet the Freeview specifications for recording with a single tuner receiver. Hence, we have another model, HT9200DTR currently going through the certification process.

I bought a Homecast HT3000 about a week ago and was quite disappointed at the quality of the TV picture; a lot of pixelation and frame freezing! Upon the advice received from the technical help line, I upgraded the firmware of the unit from version 1.02 to the recommended 1.03.3A. The result is now a lot better and there is no more pixelation. However, I still get the picture freezing at least once every minute or so especially when watching TV3!! My normal TV reception is not bad but Prime is a little ''noisy''.

Could this be the result of a bad signal or do I have a faulty unit? Any ideas?

DTVS:
Hi there

It sounds like your signal might be a little bit low and causing you these problems.
