Bought my Humax PVR-9200T a little over a week ago - after reading reviews on the net. I'd had a bad experience with the last freeview recorder I'd had (a Thomson), culminating in it failing completely. The truth is, I'd never had a digital HDD recorder that worked well - there was always something wrong with them! So I was determined to get the best one possible this time - especially if I was going to spend £200 on one! It starts and sets up easily (though I was thrown at first by the fact that it has an on/off button! I've grown used to digi boxes not having these!). It records the programmes without any particular problems - which is, after all, what I bought it for. I soon got used to the remote, and the record/playback features. I am very taken with the fact that you can watch one programme while recording two others. It has so far not displayed any of the problems that I have experienced with other machines. Fingers crossed. I'd heard that it was noisy, but I can't say that I notice this - I had a DVD HDD recorder once that sounded like someone revving a motorbike, and the Humax is no where near as bad as that anyway!

The EPG can be slow filling up - but again, this is something I have experienced with many digital boxes, so I don't think you can blame Humax for it. The Thomson had a 14 EPG - about the only thing that really worked properly on the thing! It's a pity that other machines, including the Humax, are restricted to 7 days, but it's a minor quibble.
