Humax ready to unveil Fox-HD-T2 high-def Freeview set-top box and iPlayer for the FOXSAT-HDR

With Freeview HD content just around the corner, we we're starting to worry whether or not we'd get our hands on a Freeview HD set-top box before the end of the year. Humax are now set to be first out of the starting blocks with their Fox-HD-T2 being unveiled on December 9th (though they won't be available to buy until early 2010).

Featuring an integrated DVB-T2 tuner (a must for picking up the HD Freeview signal), the box will not be compatible with the DVB-T system currently used by Freeview broadcasts.

Humax are also readying BBC iPlayer for the FOXSAT-HDR before Christmas.

Though details are scarce, Humax are also looking to roll-out a brand new EPG across its range of set-top boxes.

Looks like Humax are keeping themselves very busy. We'll have more details on these new developments after the December 9th launch date.
