Freeview Play Recorder FVP-5000T 500GB (Refurbished) Reviews

4.2 Rating 452 Reviews
Great machine, reliable, great price. Would like a different option in the guide for background colour and words. I prefer black words on a light background.

I had previously owned your HDR-FOX T2 HD Recorder for about 8-10 years. It gave excellent service and now my daughter has it. I found that the FVP-5000T far more complicated to use. For one thing you can't see if your programmes are actually recording. There is no indication whatsoever that the box is actually turned on. There are two lights underneath the front of the unit that you can't see. One is blue and the other red. They serve no purpose whatsoever in my view. So far I have had no problems with it but I think I preferred the old Humax Recorder. I also find the remote control a bit of a nuisance sometimes when you are not sure which buttons you have to press. No doubt I will get used to it. I cannot fault it otherwise it gives me a excellent picture and so far hasn't me caused any problems.

Second time we have purchased a refurbished freebies play recorder, last one lasted 4 years. Gives great picture easy to install and use.

I had bought humax as it's a reliable make having had 2 before years ago and this is my 3rd one so was familiar with the brand I love it and quite used to it now no problems.

I received it much quicker than said and as for it being refurbished I thought it was brand new I cant see any marks on it and come fully boxed and fantastic value works a treat recording different channels at the same time, very well recommended

This purchase was very good value. Although highlighted as being refurbished (and the price reflecting that) there is nothing about the recorder that would indicate it is not a new piece of kit.
