Humax has announced details of its new HDR-Fox T2 Freeview HD recorder, with the launch date set rather foolishly after the World Cup. Doh!
The HDR-FOX T2 offers just a 500GB hard drive – something we’d imagine will fill up pretty sharpish with all those lovely HD recordings – plus an eight-day EPG, series recording, schedule tracking and split recording.
Just in time for the World Cup – and the inevitable English disappointment – Philips will be wheeling out two new Freeview HD set-top boxes, snappily named the Philips HDT8520 HD PVR and DTR5520 HD receiver (who dreams up these awful names?).
We love this kind of stuff. A bunch of Edmonton radio enthusiasts (that’s Edmonton, USA, not the grimy north London suburb) bodged together a DIY video platform on a balloon and sent it soaring upwards on a mission to film the edge of space.
The mission, dubbed BEAR-4 (Balloon Experiments with Amateur Radio), involved wedging a video camera in a box protected by foam blocks, and hooking it up to five AAA Lithium L91 battery cells to provide nearly four and half hours of footage.
It seems like an age since it was announced, but Microsoft’s shiny new Zune HD player has finally been released in the US.
Coming in 16GB and 32GB flavours, the Zune HD packs a 3.3 inch OLED touchscreen (480 pixels x 272 pixels), Wi-Fi and FM radio tuner, 3.5mm headphone jack and is priced at $219.99 (£133) and $289.99 (£176) respectively – making it cheaper than the Apple iPod Touch.
