Freeview Play Recorder FVP-4000T 500GB Cappuccino (Refurbished) Reviews

4.3 Rating 73 Reviews
Lots of very good features but sometimes the type size is needlessly small and at the 'refurbished' price it is good value. On the downside, the frequent inability to provide some future programme information is a complete pain ( all advice from Humax has been followed to no avail). Also, the 'On Demand' recommendations is very variable but not really needed Humax know about this but find it hard to admit it!) It can be a bit slow but you get used to this. My 10 year old PVR had a failing hard drive and no 'series record' otherwise I wouldn't have moved on.

There is one problem - I find at times there is ‘lapsing’ I think it is called when the person speaking stays static for a second or two. I was hoping it would settle down over time.

This unit complements an already installed unit I think that says it all

It is fine but a bit more complicated than the one I had before and sometimes the sound does not come on and I have to start again and retune

A considerable saving on the new price available widely and the device looked like it had never been used, just a return.

Had this a while now and it does what it says, although we do find it very slow to respond at times and the remote often takes several pushes of the buttons despite new batteries. Arrived in tip top condition and promptly, just wish it was more responsive / remote worked better and £27 for a replacement which may not help seems a little steep.

its OK but its not as user friendly as our previous Humax Box EG the listing is hard to read and its awkward to see what is the preview of the programme,
