Hi all we have an Autotrail Arapaho 08 plate and our humax has just died, Bit of a rough picture then gone, There is still 12v on the supply lead but no light on box.
Rang humax who told me it can't be model given because it is not uk model.
F2-1000T which is only sold outside uk, although vehicle bought in uk.
So before i spend money on new box am thinking of buying dome for roof does anyone know if you get box with new dome or still need to replace ours.
Any advice would be great as not a tv boffin:Eeek:

you will still need a set top box. on the sat dome if you plan on using it outside UK i'd sit tight for a few weeks until more is known about the new beam strength and where the dome might not work.

Since 2012 but longer in my dreams
I agree you should wait, could be a fair few coming onto the secondhand market soon!
Unless that is those who can't live without their telly camp closer to home.:winky:

was yours a freeVIEW box (as most are supplied new with autorails) or a freeSAT box as you mention buying a dome?

Im a lttle confused (but thats normal for me)

just realised the F2-1000t is a free view box for terrestrial TV, if you fit any form of satellite dish ( Dome ) you will need a Freesat or sky box.

humax do both freeSAT and freeVIEW, I have both in my m/o

agreed we have a freesat but according to the tinternet the F2-1000t is Terrestrial not sat. and the op was asking about set for a dome which is as you know a sat box required:thumb:
