You're prolly right Martin, this post says 1Tb SSD, apps and widgets, 8 day EPG, 1080p, Fully compliant to UK DVB-T2 profile as well as DVB-T (no mention of DVB-S), Home Networking, CI+ slot?.
This is a freeview+hd youview box, not freesat, just stupid mistakes by Humax who should know better. Same internals as T1000, just a fancy looking box for those that want all their equipment to look premium for bragging rights
The box in the picture looks nice, but look at our gadgets our TV's are black well most people's will be, do we want a silver box that will stand out too much under the TV.
Yes it looks OK but is it worth the extra £50 just because it is silver - the black glossy youview box from Humax is stylish.

Silver is a no no
Then don't buy it. The standard black one is widely available.

Silver is a no no
Thanks for your comment - I was only giving my feedback, the Silver box is a NO NO as it will stand out too much under the TV, and the display on the front will be difficult to see.... Obvious from my comment that I have not purchased one, so your comment was a little strange.
I'm not sure if the DTR-T1010 is silver. Looking at **these** gallery pics, it may have more of a grained graphite/black finish which is reflecting light.
As for the price, the £299 is simply Humax's price - which is the same as they were listing the 1TB version of the previous DTR-T1000 (it's vanished over the past couple of days ...discontinued?), so this one's no more expensive. Shop around & you'll find it cheaper - just as is the case with the smaller 500GB units.
I particularly like the blue LEDs of the display ...not a fan of the reds on the T1000

actually saw the t1010 in richer sounds and it looked much better than the black so i got it the picture does not do it justice it is really good box works well and looks premium and stylish
Thanks for the unboxing and demo LG Admin, Youview / Humax please just fix the firmware before making anymore boxes or you will lose out to someone else like Freesat or SKY.
A box is a box but the software is what make a box a device and makes it stand out from the rest.
LG Admin, Can you confirm that HDMI and SCART and be used together as this is a know bug on the T1000 and as yet 4 firmware update later and still no fix.
if you are using the box to run two tvs (eg one in a different room via scart, the main one via HDMI), the epg is only available to the one running via HDMI.
Personally, I think this is a very old-fashioned way of watching on two sets. A network connection is really what we want.
The above in response to LG Admin, and it applies to the DTR-1000, I have no experience with the new box. (Why can't I edit on this forum?)
darucla - editing - hover over the rh side of the post you want to edit (or if on ipad, click where it gives the time since it was posted. Edit and delete options should appear.
Thanks darucla for letting LG Admin know what the problem is.
Personally after paying £300 for a box both SCART and HDMI should have EPG at the same time. My setup for now is other TV a CRT and therefore no need to pay out £30 HDMI splitter and another £30 HDMI to Cat5 Extender and also there is the remote control signal to send back so I would need a IR over HDMI Injector Kit at yes you guess it £30 ok I lie this would be only £25.
Or you can just by one £15 audio/video to CAT5 adapter with a IR magic eye at one end and a IR transmitter at the other.

Can YouView work over satellite or is this just a really bad mistake?
Humax are still listing the existing 1TB box at the same price ...intriguing.
Perhaps it's just a new case, same guts inside.
I'd say the Freesat reference is a red herring though.
Hmm, Interesting...
DTR -T1010 -
Point #10 states it's DVB-S2 and DVB-S compatible, which are satellite transmission protocols.
But point #16 states it's only got a 320GB HDD.
Hmmm

The T1000 is still being sold, not discontinued at all, the T1010 is only a limited edition special, not a permanent replacement.
The front is silver, seen in flesh.

When you say used together, can you clarify? Do you mean HDMI to one TV and scart to another or?
I still have the T1010 sat here, so I can check/test pretty much anything. What's the firmware issue?
Personally, I think this is a very old-fashioned way of watching on two sets. A network connection is really what we want.
