As a gadget person I'm always on the look out for something a little different. I wanted something to replace my old video recorder, and this looked just the job. With its built in freeview tuner, and Hard Disc its great for recording the 30 or so freeview channels, and the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is very easy to use. It will record for up to 40 hours, thats around 13 video tapes!!!! and the pictures stunning.

Bought this item last month and so far I've been more than impressed. Initial setup was faultless, it quickly found all available channels and then poped up with it's clear crisp picture. The range of channels isn't bad, it's not sky and it doesn't allow you to pay for more, but that's freeview. The recording features are seemless with the fairly speedy 7-day programme guide, see a program you want and reserve it to be recorded. It doesn't allow you to record one program and watch another, but I think there's a new model coming out soon with allows this, and you can always watch the normal analogue whilst recording on the digital. It's not Sky+, but then you pay a fortune for that service and a subscription. I think Humax have come up with a fantastic box.

Having been using this for about a year, I can recommend it whole heartedly. Quality is excellent and it is easy to use once you get used to it. I think that I can say that it is the best value for money product that I have ever bought !

Disappointed
I can't recommend this product, or this manufacturer. I bought a Humax PVR8000T about a year ago and it was fine for a few weeks. Read more

A very good piece of kit
After 3 1/2 years without TV at all, Film4 went to Freeview and that got me going. Cheap set-top boxes - and some not-so-cheap ones - attract plenty of adverse comment, especially... Read more

Great item: how did I manage without this.
Until I received this item, I had an old VCR. Taping freeView channels with the VCR was a real pain in the rear, so I decided to go for this item. Read more
