Twenty-First Century TV Revolution

Advantages: Fantastic Features and Ease of Use
Disadvantages: EPG slow to Load

...When turned on, the Humax shows a blue LED display at the front, broadcasting the current channel and the current time - the text here is bright and easy to view, and again pleasing to look at. Set Me Up I have set up a lot of AV equipment over the years, and I'm happy to report that the 9300 is one of the simplest and easiest machines to get going. Simply put the aerial in the aerial slot, the SCART or HDMI cable (both included) in the SCART ...
...to 'make a reservation' as Humax call it - it's a really simple and pain free process! If the programme you have selected is part of a series, then you can choose to record every episode from now until eternity - the box will do all the hard work for you. The Remote Made from black plastic, the remote control is a fairly chunky device which feels quite robust. All the buttons are found in intuitive locations, and are responsive when pressed. ...

Review of Humax PVR-9300T

A bit of a disappointment

Advantages: one and a half high definition channnels
Disadvantages: mostly poor standard definition pictures

Excitedly bought this when first released over a year ago for high definition. After all this time we still barely have one and a half HD channels. It seems there have been problems (perhaps with monopolistic Sky?) and there's no more free satellite HD on the horizon? Instead it seems we have to take a backward step and purchase the new HD freeview box about to be released if we want more HD? The other annoying thing about this Foxsat HD box is ...
...and consequently I have to revert to my Sony Freeview recorder's tuner for good pictures in standard definition which is mostly superb. I only use the Foxsat HD box for high definition. This chopping and changing between boxes is a nuisance. The final issue I have is that the BBC HD channel's programmes are not widely listed. They are not shown on the Freeview channel list or the Daily Mail's TV Guide so you have to switch to the Foxsat box just ...

Advantages: Easy recording/playback
Disadvantages: None found so far

...are looking for. The Humax PVR8000T/80 is a combined set-top box and hard-drive recorder, with enough space for around 40 hours of TV. To organise you viewing week, all you need to do is browse the 7-day TV guide and press OK to choose the programmes you want to record. Then when you have some "me-time" to spare, all your programmes will be stored, ready to watch. You can pause a programme if you need to go and answer the phone, or rewind it if ...
...of TV channels. The Humax looks good (simple but sleek) and is very easy to set up (just plug it in and switch it on). Navigating around the TV guide takes a bit of getting used to and sometimes you have to wait a few seconds for all the programmes to load, but other than that recording/playback is very easy. Overall, the Humax is reasonably priced and does exactly what it says on the box. Now I can watch TV exactly when it suits me. ...
