Humax HD-5600S Satellite Receiver

@patring16 hi there,

No, the Humax HD-5600S (often used for Tivùsat) does not have a built-in hard drive, and it cannot record one channel while watching another, because it is a single-tuner "PVR-ready" receiver rather than a twin-tuner recorder.

To record, you must connect an external USB hard drive, and even then, you are limited to recording the channel you are currently watching.

Key Features of the Humax HD-5600S

Built-in Hard Drive: None. It is a set-top box designed for HD/SD satellite viewing, typically via the Italian Tivùsat platform.Recording Capability: Yes, but only when you connect an external hard drive (USB 2.0/3.0, recommended externally powered).Record & Watch Simultaneously: No. With an external hard drive, you can only record the channel you are watching or set a scheduled recording, which will restrict you to watching only that channel during the recording.Tuner Type: Single tuner. It does not support dual-channel recording or recording one while watching another, unlike the Humax HDR-1100S Freesat model.

For the HD-5600S, please ensure you use an externally powered HDD between 80GB and 2TB to enable recording.
