Good Points: Quality of the video recorded is good, better than recording on the PC via USB tuners.
General comments: Very poor instructions on how to operate the device successfully - it has been a 'poke and hope' situation in trying to use the unit. I think I am getting there. Will need to write my own instruction manual. I have only had the unit for three days so in time might resolve these niggles. As mentioned above an instruction manual which was clear and concise would be useful.

I have to say that the Humax pvr 900t is the best electrical item that I have ever purchased, it has features that I never dreamt were available on a freeview set & a solid heavy feel & quality that you used to get from Sony in the 1980s. The good points out weigh the bad ones by far & after owning this set for 6 months I am not one bit surprised it has gone up £20 since I bought it.
It has a fantastic menu for previewing programs & to set them to record you simply highlight & press ok. ...

My first PVR and I am over the moon with everything about it. I particularly like the feature that, when you pick a prog' to record, if it is part of a series, the Humax prompts you to chose if you want it to just record that one prog' or automatically set to record the whole series. Great!

The Humax PVR-9200T lets you do everything that sky+ does but on freeview. You can record straight off the TV guide. Can record 2 channels while watching a third. Can record a whole series. One problem is that the tuner is so sensitive you may pick up the wrong transmitter. I initially picked up the Midlands channels even though I live in the Northwest. I think other users may have had this problem and not realised.

Well I have a Sharp Aquos and before this tv we were using a general digi box with a Sony trinitron, naturally the digi box was ok but the signal was not great as we are outside the city. We then bought the Sharp Aquos as we were told that the components inside are far superior to a digi box, and this was true, the Aquos arrived and the digital channels never have interference, just solid signal. We were then looking for a way to record things off the tv. We were recommended the Humax PVR9200.. ...

Bought it for my daughter for Christmas 07 and she is over the moon with it. Job well done!
Just had an update for it over the air (can also be downloaded off their web site if you so wish) just press ok and all was loaded automatically. Great piece of kit for the price.

I bought a 9200T from Comet 1 month ago. It's very simple to set up, easy to use and appears well made. The picture and sound quality appear to be as good as the original transmission. The series link makes recording so easy.
Basically I haven't got a bad word to say about it and it's much better than the DVD recorder I had previously.
The only thing I haven't tried on it yet is the USB connection.

Making the Humax Duovisio PVR-9200 very silent
The Humax makes a little background noise, which is cause by the fan and the harddisk.
De fan noise can be reduced by mounting a Zalman Fan Mate 2 between the fan and the motherboard (*). Adjust the fan voltage to 9 Volt. The fan noise disappears but now the harddisk noise is audible (only in a quiet room). I have solved this by removing the harddisk and put it on two soft foam peaces from 10 x 1,5 cm, 1 cm thickness. The Humax is completely quit ...

We have been using this Humax PVR-9200T recorder most days for just over twelve months. This is the first PVR I've owned so I can not be impartial. I would not hesitate to recommend this PVR it is simple, robust and excellent value.

Love it, love it, love it!
This box will transform your viewing habits. It's easy to use, and it keeps a catalogue of all your recordings by name and date for instant access.
My favourite feature for me are the skip forward / skip back buttons. Skip back is really handy for those "what did she say?" moments. And skip forward just skims through those adverts if you're playing back a recording.
Best of all is that it enables you to make your own schedule and not be tied to the whims of TV ...

I haven't had any experience of other Freeview PVRs but I do use Sky+ a lot in my job. I can confidently say that this is a much, much better way of watching and recording television. It has all the good features of Sky+ and does them all much better. The one touch recording from the EPG works perfectly and it's very easy to find a programme that you want to record in the schedule using the keyword search feature.
When using the EPG, the current TV channel remains displayed in a box - meaning ...

The hard disk broke in the week before Christmas, but Humax picked it up, repaired it, and sent it back with a new hard disk within a week, so very impressed with their service.

We've had this for a while now and have had no problems, it runs from a set top aerial. An annoyance is If you set it to record 1 minute before and/or the programme starts then there can be conflict between the current recording and the next. This is when it doesn't record the programme you have requested.

Don't know how I lived without this machine, works perfectly 99% of the time. Was easy to setup and has ran perfectly since. I did update to the latest software on purchase but have not done since.

Reaction's view (7/12/06) contains all the important stuff, I'd just add that following an over the air update sometime in November we're now able to start watching a recorded program before it has finished recording - which is something we couldn't do when we first bought the box....well done Humax for keeping the updates and bugfixes coming.
We suffered a few freezes during the early days, but again, these have disappeared over time (and presumably o-t-a updates).
Pausing a program curr ...

I've had the Humax PVR 9200T for two months now. My previous Freeview box was a Nokia 221T which, despite excellent reviews, was awfully unreliable. The 9200T has made the Nokia just a bad memory!
The two main reasons for buying the 9200T are obviously because it is a Freeview receiver and a hard disk recorder, so that's what I'll focus on:
=== As a Freeview receiver ===
The 9200T is an excellent Freeview receiver. It reliably and quickly displays channels and only in the most extreme rec ...

I thought I ought to write a quick review since I have benefited from others.
Four weeks from purchase of my Humax PVR-9200T and so far, touch wood, no problems. Excellent features. Automatically upgraded itself, off-air, to the latest s/w version. No regrets to date and would definitely recommend to others.
