Humax PVR-9200T Review

Over two years this Humax PVR-9200T machine has been reliable, and has a good specification. In fact, so good, that we seem to have moved over to always watching a recording than live. The software in the Humax PVR-9200T recorder has a few bugs that shouldn't have got into the first version, never mind persisting after updates. Two that sometimes drive me nuts is the way that if padding before or after a programme requires the recorder to make three recordings (which isn't possible), it doesn't warn you, it simply truncates one recording.

And if you have two recordings adjacent for the same channel, a significant gap at change over occurs which causes lose of material.

And now after the most recent software date the responsiveness of the recorder is much reduced. Which leads onto the main problem with Humax - their very poor level of customer support! Might buy another humax, but for the customer support!
