“Only 4 star as I had an old freesat box before and this one does not show date and time for recordings with sort option. also you cannot delete a series in 1 go and it records repeats so you end up with 2 recording instead of 1. No information button either. Small points but frustrating ones.”
“It does what it says, it records programmes and plays back. However, I find it seems to have a mind of its own sometimes. Don't know what happened, it carried on recording way past the set time and the "stop recording" option function does not respond, the only way is to unplug the Humax and plug it back in, but then the whole recording maybe broken and can't be watched. I then had to wait for the programme to be available in ITV Hub or iPlayer etc.”
“Quite straightforward to set up. The instructions could have been a bit clearer. I had to google whether the blue light meant that the machine was off or on! I happened by chance to work out that if you're in the guide you can skip through pages using the up/down channel button. So I think everything is working as it should.”
“Overall pleased with the recorder and with its ability to handle simultaneous recordings, although some small niggles. It’s is far more sensitive to a low signal strength than the tv or other digital recording device. Volume level is on the low side and requires adjusting on the tv if switching between tv and Humax box. Return from menu use for recording is a bit long winded as is delete function which requires double confirmation. Otherwise does the job well for the price.”
“Very disappointed with this Humax. When we bought it it, could not use YouTube properly, we weren't told about this, and it has still not been fixed, and we don't know when it will be fixed.
We also find it is a lot slower than the previous Humax we bought about ten years ago, and we find the latest guide unwieldy, and the graphics very small and difficult to use. All in all very unhappy with this product, and now tend to use the TV and a firestick to get what we want to watch more quickly”
