First 9200 was bought via a personal recomendation from a friend 6 years ago.
Now we have 9 in the immediate family.
I’m old [62] and find them as easy as ABC to operate and set up.
series record is a bonus.
I’ve also sold all my friends on them.
Usual quip is > ” who are HUMAX? never seen them advertised”..
Within 3 weeks of owning a Hummy, all have said > “No need to advertise, word of mouth will sell them, as they are FANTASTIC”..
Now, what do I do with over a thousand, now unused [for 3 years] video tapes ???
Answers on a postcard please
My first contact with Humax was the F2-FOX T on the shelves of a well know store, with its front panel display and professional appearance it outshone the opposition. Its clear and logical user interface made the F2-FOX T simple to set up and a pleasure to use. I then moved on to the PVR-8000T and was pleased to see the same user interface with obvious additions for recording. At the time I said it was the second best thing Iād bought this century, and it was, but to be honest some of the transport controls were a little awkward. My last Humax purchase was the PVR-9200TB and LGB-19DZT bought together. Again the 9200 uses the same user interface as my previous machines but with additions for its extra features. The transport controls have been considerably improved over the 8000 and with twin tuners, Series-Link and Accurate-Recording the 9200 is a dream to use, set it and forget it. The 19ā TV is superb in the bedroom, slightly different user interface to my other Humax machines but still Humax. Its sensibly sized base houses decent speakers so avoiding the tinniness of small TVs. When listening to Freeview radio the screen will blank after a minute thereby saving power and screen components, a nice touch.
I wonder what my next Humax will be.
My HDR Fox T2 makes TV a pleasure to watch. I can now watch what I choose, at a time that suits me, with the minimum of fuss
FOXSAT HDR. I love the ability to access iplayer & itv player in the rare occasion my humax is too busy recording a wealth of other programmes!

What sets Humax apart from other “gadgets” is its ease of use. All family members find the interface intuitive and have no problem recording or watching their favourite programmes.
Hi Guys
Posted to win the Humax acouple of days ago if it was in the wrong thread apologies to the administrator!!!
However still love my 9200T, since information on how to save my recordings from info form the forum has given it a new lease of life, however still lika a new one (sure we all would!!!)
see ya…
My Humax is awesome, it works brilliantly and if I fill up my hard-drive I just download programmes onto an external hard-drive. Its great, very often there is nothing to watch on tv. I can always find an evenings entertaining viewing. Once you learn the basics(which doesn’t take long)it is so intuitive and easy to use.
i have freesat and freeview boxes by Humax and not had any problems with any of them, apart from screen a resolution problem, that iv posted about on the FV box, love the plug and play of films via usb, and love the fact others pay for HD when i get it free via these boxes…
The versatility of how timers can be set.
That I’ve got quite a few of them and especially, I’ve not got a 3View or a Technika or any other rubbish PVR makes!
How much better it is than the Sky DVR!!! As in it could be from another planet where the user matters.
Just purchased my HDR-Fox T2 to replace the sky+box…..kids wern.t bit pleased but they wern.t paying the monthly bill.
Just finding my feet with it….but this forum will help…
Now my plasma HD ready TV is being finally used for HD….hope more channels come in the future….and best of all…I can now watch all champion league football on RTE without Sky blocking it…
Anyone looking a sky box one going cheap….

Cheers.
I love my HDR1000. I love the simplicity of it. It’s quiet. It does everything.
I love how it can play most media files from USB and the Network. I love how it has BBC iplayer and other On Demand services.
It’s reliable. It very rarely lets me down functionally being a recording box. It always works. Yes guys, even my sky HD box let me down often.
It looks nice, it’s future proof and it saves a fortune on subscriber bills.

What he said! Every word of it. I was keen to try plugging a USB drive full of video from a variety of sources into it. It played everything I threw at it AVI(Divx), AVI(Xvid), WMV, really old WMV, MP4, MPEG1 – I couldn’t trip it up. Not that I wanted to, I’m just used to it. I’ve got a small set-top-box that plays video that failed on many of the formats. My Sony Bravia HDTV says it plays just about anything but failed on about 50% of my files. Only the Humax gets it right. I’m so impressed with it that I’m convinced it’s running VLC player in there – how else could they do it.
The menus and layout are perfect. I like that I can delete channels from the line-up that I’ll never watch. Love the flexibility of the recording options. The skip buttons are a very welcome return for me, as an ex Tivo user I really missed being able to skip back and forward a “bunch” of seconds. All the time I was using my Sky+HD box I was really missing my old 2001 TiVo and thinking that nothing came close to it. Now I see I was wrong. My Humax 1000S is all that a Sky+HD box and a TiVo can offer combined, but with so much more too. The built-in on-demand apps are great. The iPlayer one seems somehow to be better quality than the one on my Roku box. I hope Netflix gets included in a future release, then I can ditch my Roku completely.
It’ll take the rest of the year for my new lack of Sky subscriptions to pay for my new Humax, but after that it’s win all the way
I like the fact that Argos gave me a refund without question.
