Freesat Recorder HDR-1100S 500GB (Refurbished) - Black Reviews

4.5 Rating 302 Reviews
We bought the freesat box to replace our sky box. Like it so far and to free us from the ever monthly bills from sky rolling in. Good purchase

I replaced a 10 year old Humax Free-sat box with the new HDR-1100S and what a difference I can't find one single fault, it has all my needs catered for and highly recommend it.

I have had a Humax box for many years, (also Sky) and I decided it was time ditch Sky and to upgrade my Humax box. Although this was a refurbished unit it looked brand new not a mark anywhere, and the remote was clearly a new one. After a few simple steps the unit was up and running, and all the latest features were easy to access. All in all the ideal unit for those who want all the benefits of Satellite TV without the cost of Sky. Highly recommended.

On the first day of using the box it locked up, powered down and the box is now fine. One thing I have noticed is the noise from the hard drive, when situated on my wooden tv cabinet. I have since placed a glass mat with small rubber feet below the box which has reduced the noise. When the room is quiet (no tv on) I can hear a low droning noise when the box is recording. I have emailed your customer services twice but have had no reply. Recording on the box I have no complaint as picture and sound quality is excellent.

Not for me, very slow and laggy. Prefer using my sky box to view TV. Prefer the set up and set out of sky box too just means we need to try to cope without pause and recording! But returned it for a refund. Also would switch off when changing channel but may have just been a fault with my individual Humax box but even if that didn't happen it wasn't for me!

As this is my Third Humax Sat recorder I was expecting a high standard. It is that. I only have a small obserbation. The changes to the info/programs pages is taking a little time for me to get to grips with the new format but I am sure it will prove to be better than the old one. Just needs time for an oldster like me to get up to date.

I purchased this unit as a Christmas present for my son. The delivery was excellent and he managed to set up the unit within minutes and is absolutely delighted with the picture quality and the ease of use. He has recorded several programmes without problems and now the children can watch their favorite programmes at ant time.
