I am really pleased with the Humax box i purchased recently, the only real criticism was that the remote control didn't function particularly well so i had to purchase another direct from Humax at a cost of around £30.00. I had seen several other complaints about the remotes not working properly but the new one seems to be fine. The overall experience has been good.

The purchase arrived very quickly, which is good. It is a Christmas present so it has not been unpacked yet.

It would have been 5 stars, but unfortunately I did not receive the email advising me that my order was on the way, until after the item had been delivered.

Product is excellent value for money. Good, timely delivery via DPD. Had some minor problems registering and placing order on the Web site. Documentation on line could also be a bit more comprehensive for us "Geeks". For example, more technical information to help in making a decision about options for an external HDD. Otherwise, a very good product and company.

Rapid easy setup. Good menu epg and online menus. The transition between the menus with images swooping is a bit slow. All in a good package after 2 weeks of use.

Easy to install but am still getting used to it after the previous model. Certain features I like and others less so.

Prompt delivery, good value. (But beware I am now advised by HUMAX HDR1800T remote is not the same as HDR2000T.)

HDR-1100S 500GB A great advance from the Foxsat HDR that had its issues (Primarly the horribly SLOW interface until the live TV is rendered under menus + issues when recording Eg Jump to end when in catchup and recording ends; random appearance of captions after pausing live TV). When support for iPlayer finally dies it was time for an upgrade. New model much more responsive and no particular glitches spotted yet (after one week). Some nice touches such as "would you prefer to watch this in HD" whenever a programme starts and the PIP in the Guide. The guide could make much better use of the available screen width (I mean, who owns a 4:3 screen these days anyway). It's still not as good as the Humax Freeview PVR we owned about 4 years ago and it's hard to imagine why they don't just use the same software. Would love to have NetFlix app so need to keep the AppleTV. Anyways, happy we now have a better experience, albeit with that feeling it could be better still.

Received the box quickly and,for a refurbished item, it's in good condition and is nice and solid. Haven't used it yet as the static caravan it has been bought for is now shut for the winter.
