“A great FreeView Recorder BUT I miss many of the features on my old FoxSat recorder and it's taking a while to get used to it.
It is difficult to tell if it is off but recoding, it has no window on the front so one does not immediately know what channel one is watching or which programme one is playing and no indication of how far one is in the programme.
The layout and feel of the EPG (programme list) and the recorded programmes list are very different too.
Some of the simple and clear function buttons are not present on the remote either.”
“I purchased a Freeview play box and when I went to install it the plug adapter was missing, I then had to buy one and now can't get a refund I won't be buying anything else from them.”
“Disappointed with the Humax. It is very slow to respond to the handset and I sometimes have to press the button twice to get a response. Netflix is particularly slow to respond, much slower than the BT recorder the Humax replaced. The only advantage over the BT recorder is that the Humax can record more channels at the same time.”
“I cannot comment on my new recorder as I thought my old one was about to die but it's still limping on, as I have loads of recordings to watch I am carrying on.
The only thing I was worried about was whether the warranty would start from purchase date or from when I start using
The delivery was fast and I have been happy with my last humax , hence why i have purchased another one”
“We bought this product because our previous TV service provider massively escalated their prices. My parents have had good experiences with Humax. Freeview gives us everything we need. This box is very easy to use and the pause, rewind and record functions are great. The box operates a little slower than our previous TV box, but it does the job satisfactorily.”
“Mind numbingly easy to install. Not that I want to record 4 programmes at the same time and watch a fifth, but it's really useful when programmes overlap, or another finishes too late.”
“A very compact machine not quite as easy to use as my old one but I am getting used to it, it records well as expected but controls are a little sensitive for rheumatic fingers, great quality and I would highly recommend this product”
“This is my second purchase of this product, the first one just "gave up" suddenly and I was unable to revive it no matter what I tried. The new one works well although it does run noticeably hotter than the previous one. Even though we are in the 21st Century, this product cannot receive ITVX - Bummer! So I have also had to invest in an amazon fire TV Stick to get ITVX plus a lot more. Humax stuff is generally pretty good. It would be nice to get some sort of warning before the unit is likely to fail.”
