I was not looking forward to the end of analogue have used VHS tapes for so long and enjoying the convenience of taking them from one room or house to another. I tried a DVD/HDD recorder but that was far too slow and cumbersome. However I bought this via Amazon from Humax refurbished for under £100 and am very well pleased with it. The installation was a breeze being fully automatic and need for the manual minimal. That I am not keen on at all and feel it could be improved and... (read more)

My humax 9150T is forever freezing seconds after switching on. I've tried resetting to default, re-tuning channels and re-formatting the hard drive. Reformatting the hard drive seemed to work for a couple of weeks but now its worse than ever. Its good points are is that it is very simple to use. (read more)

After the launch of saorview, I was looking for a saorview set top box. Lately but luckily I came to know about Megavision, the customer service they provided me could not be better, it was great. They had a wide range of satellite dishes; all offered at most competitive prices. I appreciate that they take the time to follow up with their customers and make us feel we matter. I would definitely recommend Megavision to others. (read more)

I have had this for 3 months now and like the previous reviewer bought it to replace my Thompson which always caused me trouble. Compared to that the Humax is rolls Royce. The key things are: 1.

Bought to replace our noisy, buggy Thomson DTR. The Humax impressed me straight away because it has an Off switch on the back. No more unplugging the unit if it freezes up then! Another good feature is a basic panel of control buttons under a flap on the front of the unit. If your remote stops working you can still operate the Humax from this front panel.
After a month of use the Humax hasn't frozen up or corrupted any recordings, unlike our old Thomson unit. The only downside has been...

I've had problems with the box freezing. Even switching it off and then back on again doesn't cure the problem. An email to the Humax helpdesk sorted the problem but it involved erasing all my personal settings and starting again with the factory defaults. Not happy, but still better off than I was with my previous model.

Humax customer support were very helpful. They advised an over the air software update which fixed the problem.
