Review:
We bought a Humas PVR 9200T unit to enhance our viewing pleasure with a recently bought 37" Dell TV. Great we thought, can't wait to get both hitched up. That's where the problem started, as soon as we connected the Humax to the Dell TV... we couldn't record two programmes simultaneously, one was with sound, one without! We returned the unit and changed it for another one thinking it was faulty, but no, we still had the same problem. We returned the Humax box really disappointed. Then, we found we had a problem with the Dell TV. It was exchanged immediately, but then another problem cropped up. We returned the Dell TV, not an easy job. We decided to buy a Samsung 32" LCD TV and another Humax box hoping these would be compatible... and guess what, it's just great! We love the TV and most of all we love the Humax HDD unit. Does everything it says on the box. Just hate the cheap remote control. Come on Humax, bring out a nice compact hand-friendly remote, they'll go down a storm!
