Now, I hesitate over writing this review since I am in no way equipped to speak about the technical lingo and capacities of this humax PVR- 9150T freeview + box, or to give it it full name: Humax PVR - 9150T Freeview Playback Digital TV Recorder 160GB Twin Tuner. So, I'm afraid those looking for technical babble will be sorely disappointed, and mine will be somewhat of a basic review of the product and whether I think it merits good value for money. Upon buying a new TV during the Christmas, we also decided to splash out on a freeview + box as well. Now, my husband is in no way technical either, and so we knew we needed some advice about freeview + boxes ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these for my mum several weeks ago because of the digital switch over that will be taking place in our area next year. My mum is not a very big electronics wizard, but any chance I get to play with something new and I'm straight in there! My mum is very much a person who just watches one channel, ITV, and she needed one of these to make sure that she is ready for the switch over and doesn't miss out on her "soap fixes". After thinking about what her requirements were, and reading several reviews that listed Humax as one of the best on the market, I decided to buy her this box because it will give her freeview after the switch over, and it has a .  Read the complete review

The Humax PVR-9150T is a Freeview+ enabled hard-drive recorder which grants the user the ability to pause and rewind live TV. As it's a twin-tuner model, the device can record two channels at once whilst you watch another - impressive! Now a few years old, the 9150T is available for only £119 from Amazon - a price-tag which represents great value for money considering the quality of the product. The 160GB hard-drive may not sound like a massive amount in this day and age, but in practice it allows the recording of a respectable one-hundred hours of television. For those of you interested in a larger recording capacity, the Humax 9300T (which I also own) is *basically* ...  Read the complete review

Intro: I have never yet known any gadget or appliance of mine fail at a time convenient to me, but always at the very moment I choose to use it, i.e when all shops are closed, helpful family members or neighbours are asleep or on holiday and emergency call out fees doubled. My Samsung video recorder was no exception to that annoying law akin to 'Sod's Law' whereby any appliance belonging to me will malfunction at the most inconvenient time possible. It was a Friday night, when my Samsung decided to retire permanently, demonstrating very clearly its intentions by chewing the tapes and playing tug-o-war as I tried to eject the cassettes... ...  Read the complete review

I was given this freeview box as a present after I was left bereft when my original one (different make and model) broke. I have been nothing but pleased with this machine - although it has a very similar spec to my last machine it is much more reliable. The main features are: * being able to record two channels simultaneously, whilst watching a third programme from your 'saved programmes' list OR recording one channel and watching another * TV Guide available for the next 8 days * being able to save up to 100 hours of recorded TV * being able to pause and play live TV The set-up of this box was dead easy. You plug it in to the ...  Read the complete review
