My previous model 4000 finally gave up the ghost after 6 years very heavy use. The 5000 model (£10.00 cheaper) was easy to install and works as perfect as the last one.

I have been using a BT YouView box for the past 7 years which I have been delighted with, however the BT YouView Box failed and I required a replacement system. Therefore I purchased a Humax FVP-5000T Freeview Play Recorder direct from Humax and I can confirm that the Humax FVP-5000T Box is superb and a significant upgrade from our old system. Thank you Humax

The positives are that the box is small and compact, it's easy to set up and gives a good, sharp picture. The negatives are that the channels are very slow to turn over. Netflix does not always want to play the programmes. Box gives off a humming vibration which was fixed by raising it up on two mousemats.

Finally made the purchase after realising that I haven’t played any of my small collection of DVDs for years. Very easy to set up, which is a huge plus, and now familiarising myself the many functions.

I ordered my box on 25/8/22 and as of today 8/9/22 I still have not received despite chasing it up. Communication is terrible.

Maybe more stars later but at present trying to get used to a completely different system after my last one.

We bought this as a replacement for an older Humax recorder which we had been very pleased with. After problems with the initial setup, which Customer Services helped us resolve, we are now as pleased with the new recorder as we were with the original. Thank you!
