I have a humax freesat box, and the freeview box is just as good if not a bit better, I'm over the moon with it

After setting the unit up I checked out its features which looked comprehensive. However the "guide" information did not match that of my current Huawei STB and so I returned it for a refund.

A very good device overall but a few not so good details. In the Guide there is no way to move from one day to another without scrolling sideways through complete days. When playing back saved programmes there is no skip function. It is necessary to fast forward or fast reverse. Both of these facilities were on the BT Box (Humax made) which I have replaced with this device. Also time to start up. It takes several seconds from pressing the button to getting a picture on screen.

Not as great as it could be. Text size onprogram guide small and not adjustable. You can save favourite channelsbut it always goes into the full list by default. I find it hard to believe Britbox still not available on Freeview play on this machine. ITV hub and uk tv play slow to loadand unreliable. Notmy connection at fault because on my tablet they are instant. Humax cd do a lot better. It needs a decent software upgrade!
