    Is this the most useless POS device ever made?

    Had mine for a month after years of using an 1100s at my old place. That was night and day better than this piece of turd.

    For a start it’s so bloody slow. I could just about put up with that, but now it keeps missing my programs. It’s missed every recording set for 2 weeks now – even though it shows in the guide that it will be recorded.

    I’m getting so angry I need it gone for my own mental health. What are my chances of a refund 7 weeks down the line? Not fit for purpose in my opinion.

    Do Humax still make a decent Freeview box. I don’t need 4 channels or anything. I just want it to record the odd series. I barely watch TV to be honest

    I agree that the FVP is slow but in my experience it does a reasonable (but not perfect) job of recording things. Are you confident that the box is tuned to a single transmitter?

    That in itself is odd because all of the radio stations start at 700.

    True but you have to look for them separately.

    I just went to channel 1 and then pressed channel down and it went to 699.

    It probably depends on which EPG section you have selected.
