The Humax HD-FOX T2 was the first Freeview HD box to go on sale
in the UK.  That was a whole year ago, and even back then, Humax
was talking about adding internet TV features including Sky
Player and BBC iPlayer via a firmware update.  For many who
bought that box, or indeed its PVR cousin - the HDR-FOX T2 - the
wait has been long and hard. The HD-FOX T2 has since been given
magical PVR powers through the use of external storage, and now
the wait for IPTV is almost over.  While Humax hasn't told us
exactly when the TV Portal software will be made available to
the public, tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the release
of the T2. Whether that's relevant we're not sure, but either
way, we believe the release of the firmware update is merely
days if not hours away.  So, what do we think of it?  As IPTV
services on home AV products go, the Humax TV Portal is
excellent. We're playing with a late-stage Beta, so it's not
quite the finished article yet, but all the same, it works
almost flawlessly.  humax tv port
