Freeview HD Recorder HDR-1800T 320GB (Refurbished) Reviews

4.2 Rating 335 Reviews
This recorder is faulty and needs a software correction as it records in silence when recording on the second station. This is a known and corrected fault that should simply not exist on a refurbished recorder. I have asked for this recorder to be replaced or to be corrected and have been told twice that a dongle with the required software is being sent. Still waiting over a month later. Very poor service and poor quality of refurbing. Would not recommend on any level.

This HDR-1800T is a replacement for my daughters old PVR-9150T (which failed). I also have a PVR 9150-T (still working) and a HDR-1800T. It is in excellent condition and works perfectly. Thank you.

I incorrectly order the Freeview Recorder when I should have ordered a Freesat Recorder. I spoke to Humax and they were most helpful and exchanged the Recorder by return of post and collected the Freesat Recorder the following day. I was Credited with the initial purchase within a few day. I recommend them most heartily Brian

It is very bad at `loading up` to watch TV at anytime, and will not `load up` at all if recording. Screen message says `no signal`. But TV system says signal Strength is 70%, and Quality is 100%. I have contacted Humax twice already, and done as advised, including a Factory Default Reset. I will ring them once more, but probably return it as unsatisfactory.

Generally Very Good. It replaced an DD-FOX_T2 with an external HD that was getting tired. Have experienced a glitch with this new one a couple of times & not sure if its a F/W problem or a fault - When preempting a a reminder (with the box turned OFF) on turning ON the box with the remote to watch the program get a "green screen of death" on the TV. No matter how you try to get rid of it you cant except by removing power from the box & doing a cold start. Otherwise box seems unflappable.

Great for recording. Only has bbc iplayer on it, no other apps including itvHub, more4 etc, which is not made clear when buying. It just said “and other apps”, so I assumed wrongly they were included. Humaxdirect however were excellent with customer care when I rang to query. They refunded fully after they collected from house, no fuss at all.
