    5.0 out of 5 stars Humax P.V.R Freeview Recorder, 28 Dec 2004
    By A Customer
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Humax box of magic, 28 Jan 2005
    By Mr. D. Collier "cheese_block" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If 80GB isn't enough upgrade the HD., 18 Jan 2006
    By Luke Shutler "luke_s" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    The Humax is great, and if you visit their website you see they really pride themselves on customer support. I needed to contact them to get the firmware updated on mine and they were brilliant, they even sent me the cable to allow me to update the box from my computer - free of charge!

    I got the 40GB model which at the time was the best value. I've since discovered that you can upgrade the disk yourself up to 120GB using a standard ATA (IDE) disk (not serial ATA). Just pop it in and format! Now you have loads of space for all of those recordings!

    A number of people have complained about clipped recordings - this happens when broadcasters broadcast the programme later than the advertised time. Many VCR's are able to cope with this due to the fact that they pick up on the start - finish signal that is broadcast simultaneously. However this signal is not broadcast on digital for some reason so is unlikely to feature in any DVB based PVR box like the Humax.

    Overall, highly recommended, there is a dual tuner version available too if thats what you need!.
