Humax PVR-9200T user reviews

"This has changed my perception of watching TV and is very easy to use"

What I like:

Clear playback and the way you actually set the unit to record, it's so very easy and equally easy to cancel should you change your mind

What I don't like:

Just one very minor critiscism - it's so easy to set it to record a programme and the unit allows you se and set programs days in advance, you will

Review:

I researched the Humax PVR-9200T well before buying one. Ignore the guff that a few people have said about it.

Buy one and you will be amazed, it will change the way you use your TV forever. Since you will no doubt catch every programme you want to record, you will sit down to the actual recordings and the only live TV you will then see will be when actually choosing the next programmes for recording from the Humax's superb programme guide (which shows programmes a week in advance).

It's quiet, it's well designed and mine certainly doesn't freeze (never has, even in an average signal strength area).

One reviewer moaned about slow startup time (about 10 seconds), but clearly this user has completely forgot how life was before they actually bought theirs and if you took theirs away now they would moan then!

I like the fact that when one has recorded a programme and its then been listed in the "recorded" list, the programme information is also stored with the recording and so say you recorded a film a month ago, you can still see what the film is about before watching it - very handy for recording soaps - just superb.

It does exactly what it says on the tin and I feel the comments about its childish remote or its menus, stem from the feeling you get when using it, that it is so very easy to use that it feels like any child could use it - trust me and get one.

Another reviewer said it's the best electrical thing he or she ever bought, I second that.
