Humax FVP-5000T Freeview Play Recorder-500GB Reviews

3.9 Rating 211 Reviews
This machine records 4 channels in excellent quality. That is the good point and perhaps the reason for 4 stars. However it gets 2 stars for human interface. It is a mess compared with the earlier Humax machines. I am happy to expand but suffice to say it has a very untidy outdated menu system.

Sadly, I am unable to register for the extended warranty as my eyesight prevents me from reading the reg. no. on the back of the machine.

Ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. The Humax was easy to set up and does what it says on the label. Sadly I have to mark it down for the ludicrous positioning of the LED status indicator lights. They are stuck underneath the unit in a recess that makes it virtually impossible to see the glow. I had to make up a reflector out of a piece of hollow plastic and some translucent tubing to refract the light - not very satisfactory but at least we can now see whether the unit is on, off or recording - just.

It took a while to get used to our new recorder, but we are slowly getting there. We had an older model for many years and so I know this one will be as good. So many features and we are learning something new to our advantage every day. Good quality and reliable. Trust Humax.

Absolute rubbish! Don't waste your money dealing with this company. Humax used to be leaders in set-top boxes, but how they have fallen. Equipment is faulty and as for Customer Support? There's an oxymoron if ever I heard one.

Excellent service thank you. The box was damaged as they allways seem to be with a single box purchase. No damage to the product. Just a scruffy box.

Excellent - easy to use and so versatile. So many recording possibilities. Only challenge is to move quickly to see programmes in a few days' time but I'm sure I can find out with a telephone call.
