I'm very pleased with my refurbished humax. It is my second one. I only had to change because I got a smart TV and they weren't compatible.

Working well so far. Pretty easy to set up and connect to wifi. A few differences in buttons and menu items from our previous machine. Overall very happy with it.

Refurbished are like new. Wasn’t sure at first because it is sluggish to respond to remote button presses, but I’m quite fond because it’s like me. A bit more complicated to use compared with YouView. I’m ok but I don’t think that my Mum would like it.

The unit arrived well packed and in excellent condition. Functionally it operates well with very good picture quality and I generally found it is quite easy and intuitive to use. I did find some of the menus a little slow to react and the unit does get allot warmer than I was expecting.

Does exactly what I wanted it for. Easy to install and operate. Although refurbished it’s indistinguishable from a new product

Although the performance of my new Humax is good and I like the opportunity to record more programmes, I find the management of it much less straightforward. The form of the guide is less clear, recording much more laborious, and I am still trying to find out how to record programmes over the next week when I might be away. If I could combine the performance of my new model with the ease of managing my old, I would be very happy. The handbook is not much help and the remote is certainly not intuitive.
