Our old VCR broke ages ago, and we never bothered replacing it, as we could watch DVDs on the playstation, and there never seemed to be anything on worth watching!

Our old VCR broke ages ago, and we never bothered replacing it, as we could watch DVDs on the playstation, and there never seemed to be anything on worth watching!

However, we decided it was about time we replaced the old VCR, and this seemed the best option. Once we'd managed to get it all tuned in and working, it was great, but getting there was a bit of a hassle.

Firstly not all channels would work (in particular ITV channels didn't work). Then when we did get them working, a lorry would drive past and it would all be messed up again (and a lot of lorries drive past our house!). After a few software upgrades, a bit of aerial fiddling, and a lot of patience, it does now work perfectly, all channels.

Now it does work, it's very useful, you can record two things at once, or record on one channel and watch another, which is great when there are people in the household with different tastes! The TV guide is also really easy to use, and you just need to highlight the program you want to record and press ok.

You can also record whole series of programmes in a similar way, which is great when you always want to watch something which is on in the middle of the night. We do record quite a lot of stuff, and have had no problems with it getting full.

This would have got 5 out of 5, except for all the problems getting it to work in the first place, but they may have made improvements so this no longer happens. Also, I think it depends on what area of the country you live (and which TV mast you use). I don't think distance from the mast helps, because we can see our local mast (Emley Moor) from our living room window, and it didn't help us.

Review of Humax PVR9200T by miketurner

Advantages: Series Link, large hard drive, easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I bought this product to replace my "blown up" Digifusion fusion box and I am very impressed with it. It has a massive 160Gb hard drive, very easy to use and intuitive interface and the thing I like most of all is "Series Link". As a sky user for many years, I have missed this function, but now it is available on Freeview ! I Bought the Silver version (9200T/S) and it looks very stylish. One tip I would recommend is as soon as it is plugged in and ... Read review

Humax PVR9200-T Freeview Hard Disk Recorder
Review of Humax PVR9200T by  Guinness2702

Advantages: It's a high capacity twin tuner HDD recorder. What more do you need
Disadvantages: The software is still evolving, and it's a bit too big

...There is no doubt that HDR's are already starting to revolutionise the way people watch television, and this one does the business nicely. The main benefit is that you can "Time shift" your TV viewing, just like recording a programme to VCR for later. How does this HDR differ from using a VCR you ask? Well here are the main points:- * In-built freeview decoder, which means that subject to reception, you can receive all of the freeview channels. With the exception of the optional "Top-up TV" channels, all you have to pay is your TV licence. (Note that this box is freeview only, if you don't get a freeview signal, this box will NOT record the 5 traditional analogue TV signals) * You don't have to swap tapes around, or worry about capacity, simply select the programme you want and it is recorded to the disk (as long as you...

A venerable PVR
Review of Humax PVR9200T by  buzzard_cad

Advantages: Large memory, twin tuners, easy to use
Disadvantages: Some minor problems still unresolved, noisy

...We bought our Humax PVR-9200T not long after moving into our new house in December 2005. We decided on the Humax PVR as it came with a Freeview set up and the facility to record programmes along with a host of other minor functions. For those of you in the dark ages or still on analogue TV, PVR stands for 'Personal Video Recorder' and is essentially a computer type hard drive contained in a TV receiver box. This PVR is a link between my aerial and my TV so I can watch nice crisp digital TV, our PVR's work with cable or satellite TV. I decided to use the Humax for a year before writing a review on it, however I feel that I am now writing about something that is nearly obsolete with the recent push for High Definition TV (HDTV). We chose the Humax PVR-9200T based a few things. First there was a glowing review of an older Humax PVR... Read review
