Works flawlessly. Absolutely pristine condition. Would definitely recommend it. So much so I'll be going for an upgraded Humax model when I put televisions in the rest of the house.

I have had another Humax (twin tuner) for about 2 years, and this one was for a second home. All the controls are the same on both models and I think the EPG and Freetime are excellent. I knew that this model didn't have a built in Hard Drive, but I was a bit disappointed to find that a USB Memory Stick will not work. I have 2 other Freesat Boxes, and they will both record to a Memory Stick. I've now purchased a Hard Drive and that works OK.

Received on time as promised. This item looked brand new and functions well. It replaces my old Humax which lasted for over ten years.

The only difference between a new one and the refurbished item we bought seems to be the price and it comes in a plain white box. Otherwise it works and looks just like another HB-1000S box we have. So far it's all good.

The recorder is great but despite paying for delivery it was not here on the next day as promised. I had to wait until after the weekend which was not very good.

I find that you can not record and watch a channel all at the same time.
