If you subscribe to Sky better stay away !!

About the quality of the Humax HD Fox receiver a lot of good has been reported, which played a key role for me and without the problems reported below, it could be a long friendship.
I would therefore in this review does not address the overall ease of use and quality of the receiver 'it would be a repetition of what has already been described, but I would like to Sky subscribers portray as me for a Compulsory Missed update which came ultimately led to the receiver Amazon to return - but first things first:
Approximately 10 days after receipt and commissioning of the receiver - up to this point everything worked flawlessly, including receipt of subscribed Sky channels I have by Alpha Crypt light modules and SKY smartcard S01entschlüsselt - who note an update published on power that is available and whether it should be installed.
Since I had no information about what the update includes, I have option as acknowledged with 'No'.
This was repeated a total of 5 days at each restart, on the 6th day I was asked by activation of the receiver to 'please wait' then, after a few minutes came the news that an update for the reception of HD + has been successfully installed.
From this point, the invitation PIN for prelocked Sky channel could youth protection previously locked no longer be opened, but at a prelocked mission took place the note, the insert HD + smart card (which was and I did not), then for a brief moment to enter, if I managed this even before the resist outdated prompt the HD + card insert to type, the message came 'channel with HD + card not to receive', then the screen went dark and could only be activated by changing to another 'not prelocked channel.
Obviously want Humax, afford with his HD Fox receiver the project some private channels such as RTL, Pro 7 and Vox, who operate from 1.1.2010 with HD + encrypted channels feed, in other words, the device is should by the forced update HD + Certified, fair manner Humax this course according to the description of this product to its customers and the customer ultimately leave if they want this or not.
The attempt on the service - chargeable - hotline to address my problem failed, they let me starve simply by a lot of music on hold, of my e-mails I sent to all German Humax contact points that I found on the Internet, was no one answered.
A Humax Germany but staff was able to reach even by phone, by description of the problem, he promised my complaint to the competence center in Korea forward 'no joke !!,
Because I wanted to keep my 30-day return period of worthless for me and the device does not know whether and when the competence center Korea responds, I now have my Humax receiver on Amazon returned.
At this point, should not go unmentioned that the return shipping and handling by Amazon
quickly and professionally went by equip.
From company Humax I am completely disappointed and would make their products in the future a wide berth.
For the forced and unwanted product and change the miserable customer service one star is actually not too much
