General Comments

The Humax PVR-8000T is a small attractive unit that is ready for use within minutes of turning it on for the first time. The software version I had has the ability to record both Radio or TV as well as being able to browse and reserve programmes using the 7 day EPG during this.

I like the ability to search for a programme on the EPG by entering in the title (or partial) as well as the Gant Chart EPG.

The remote control can be programmed to perform basic controls of the TV (Standby/Power on, Mute, Volume up/down) and more. This is a nice touch and obviously well thought out as you can put you remote that came with your TV in the drawer as you'll find you wont need it. Two of my friends and my mum have a Humax. I think I must have a bastardised Commet or Currys special "Bush" as none of the Bush codes work - still moving one.

Am looking forward to Humax's twin tuner version out later this year, apparently after a phone call I was told - Topup TV compatible (with CAM) and can record one and watch another - will wait and see. Hope it's as much of a success as the 8000 series!
