General Comments

My VHS recorder died and I was on the look out for a replacement. Bought a Humax PVR-8000T and never looked back. It did have a few software bugs early on but these are mostly ironed out. But the Humax support are great, mailed me an RS-232 and upgraded the firmware via my laptop.

It is so easy to use with the EPG, just highlight the programs you wish to watch and that's it.

There are a few more features I would like but for the price it's a bargain.

You can record all of the Freeview radio stations (the same as some on DAB but better audio quality) via the EPG and squirt them out over the optical output to archive away if that's what you are into.

The HDD can be upgraded to a larger one fairly simply though you will void your 2 yr warranty.
