Tidy little box. Wireless access option is great and means I no longer need to cast catch up programmes via my iPad and chrome cast dongle but can load them straight from the relevant players. Search option, which I didn’t have on my youview box, is also available on this box. Recording is also easy although I preferred my youview box setup for playback of these programmes. When choosing recorded programmes that are a series or 2 or more episodes, the most recent is displayed rather than the oldest so you can end up watching in the wrong order. Also once you have watched the programme and choose to delete, confirmation of deletion is required. However this is minor detail and just requires getting used to. Overall am very happy with this new recorder.

Love my Humax freesat.It,s the second one I have bought, but the first one stopped working just after the 2 year guarantee ran out. Hope this one lasts longer.

Beautifully made as with all Humax products, disappointing to see familiar library and guide have been changed, as I am used to using the FOX T2. An extremely strong UHF signal is required as it houses 4 tuners, I cannot get many channels to work even with a booster, however, transmitters are being worked on at the moment and may improve. I think 4 tuners is excessive.

The Humax Freeview is the way to go very easy to operate, so much better than other makes in several ways one of which being the fast forward and reverse of recorded tv programs. Would not hesitate to recommend again.

Good piece of kit although I prefer the front layout of my old one that had Date and Time on show, and was easy to identify whether it was on/off, recording or not or in playback mode or not. Unless I have got something wrong, to simply delete a programme involves many number of keystrokes
