Humax FVP-4000T 2TB Freeview Play Recorder (Nero) Reviews

3.9 Rating 71 Reviews
I am a bit confused as I was asked to review which I did and then I was asked if I would review what appeared to me to be a different model. The answer to 2nd time is yes. If my review is to be published on facebook etc as well as feedback I now wish to be anonymous for that.

The ability to record multi channels is the top feature for me.

Good picture and sound fairly easy to instal - hand set reasonable quality but settings and controls were found to be a bit complicated at first but becoming easier over time - the handset also turned on an older Humax Sat Box making life difficult but on enquiry was told how to change it - why not put it in the instructions anyway? proved a bit difficult but perseverance paid off Overall a bit over complicated for me

The unit has a slick 'catch-up' feature that connects over WiFi and appears to work well. It also has a very large (2TB) hard drive which I like. However my biggest disappointment is that I find it very difficult to move stored files via USB to my portable drive (my previous Humax PVR did this very easily) Another bugbear is the lack of an 'Info' button on the remote which again was really good on the previous model.

Smart looking box, Its good to have a 2TB storage, like all the extra features. Its good to be able to record 4 channels at once. Works better than my old Humax YouView box. It was also a good price for so many features.

Our latest purchase replaced two 13 year old Humax boxes which had given great service. This one is from another age! Quite amazing! I'm still checking out all of its capabilities but it's living up to its claims so far!!... 1,200 potential hours of viewing when we get it over to our house in Brittany. And... a very rapid turnround from order to delivery - Thanks!
