So far so good, easy once you have picked it up, Very good as far as recording go's, more than just the one channel at a time. still a little early for a more detailed review but i can't see any problems arising, all in all a very good piece of equipment

The latest software updates have improved this box quite a lot, everything seems to work as it should. I have bought an H3 box to go with this, I can watch recorded content off the FVP-4000T over my network on a to downstairs, this works quite well but still has some issues (fast forwarding adverts it jumps too far) catch up works fine too. Overall I am pleased with this pvr. The review ratings are pretty poor for this pvr but they are all quite old, the software updates have made this a decent pvr.

The Humax was recommended by a friend. We are using it in our static caravan so cannot use internet. My wife is very good at operating different remotes and after a few hours practice she was very pleased with the results. She liked the programme information that was available as this is not present on some free view boxes we have tried. All in all we are more than happy with our purchase.

Fair machine, but cannot connect to Channel Four catch up. Have contacted Channel Four and they say the fault is with Humax.

I like this mocha it's more update that my old Pvr which was starting to show its age a bit, I wanted to be able to connect to the Internet via wifi this allowed me to do that . I have struggled a bit with the settings as an older person and not 100%techie but got there in the end and really like the functions - my only loss is that you had an i button on the Pvr but that's not possible on this without clicking into the programme small niggle but I'm getting used to it fast response on the remote too

This was a replacement for an ageing 9200 which had given very good service. Initial use was encouraging with some nice extras compared to the old unit. However fairly quickly several problems surfaced - slow if any response to several of the command keys plus the failure of the Android apps for control, recording and programme details. On contacting the customer service team suggestions on replacing batteries and factory resetting were tried but with no improvement. These issues are still under investigation. The apps seem to have been improved in the last few days - much better but I have a suspicion that the software in the unit may need some tweaking to reduce the gremlins ! Hopefully soon.

This is not the most straightforward box to operate but after two weeks I am becoming more used to it.The biggest problem is that the picture quality is nowhere near as sharp as my previous you view box and as such is a disappointment.
