Ordered 1:30pm delivered the next day, all cables inc. new remote. I think the unit had never been used. Impressive service and recording box, easy setup and use.

Pros: 4 recordings whilst you can watch a 5th. Watch recordings on your mobile at home via app/WiFi. Freeview play. Go back last 7 days, catch up & lots of apps. Transfer files to pc to keep recordings if your technical (link pc to box)! Cons: channels can be a bit jumpy even after many retunes. Very noisy clicky remote (mobile remote app available). Playing recordings goes to last of a series rather than the 1st...who watches a series backwards! Have to point remote at unit & slow response.

Good HD recorder that will record 4 programmes at once, but a few irritating (but not deal breaker) issues: A little slow ( not instant) to react to controls On guide, doesn't scroll horizontal or vertical, but jumps a whole screen, ie if you have BBC2 at the top of the screen and scroll up, BBC1 is at the bottom of what you see next, and can't see BBC2 On/off light could be more visible. Difficult to tell if box is on or not. Having listed all those (minor) negatives, I would reccomend this to others.

Having been a customer of Humax for a number of years, I was delighted to find with my most recent purchase that the quality of their product has in no way diminished since my last purchase. The quality of this product is equally as good, if not better than my previous purchases. I would happily recommend, as I have in the past, there products.

I love value for money and buying a reburb unit gives you that. Personally i think its a brand new unit sold in a plain box. No marks or evidence of it being used. Perhaps a way of selling units through another platform. It has great features and esay to set up. Importantly it has wifi connection as well as network. Wifi connection allows you to locate it anywhere in the house i.e. with no cat 5 required.

Brilliant new addition to my home, many extra functions including Netflix. This is my 2nd refurbished Humax box the previous refurbished one still works perfectly but I wanted this brilliant updated version. I don't have broadband so this box is ideal and works well with my 3 phone hotspot. No complaints at all even though refurbished.

Very happy with this Humax. Does all we want and will do more once I learn how to work some functions, eg catch-up ones. Missing a LCD on front with time, channel playing, etc, as there was on our Toppy. But that is all.
