I purchased the Humax 9200T PVR (Personal Video Recorder) about two years ago, for the bargain price of £160, online. It's revolutionised TV watching, it's been so useful to be able to record programmes and watch them when you fancy, and to rapidly fast forward through adverts, or pause when the phone or doorbell goes. I chose Humax because of all the good reviews online and especially because of its ease of use, it's definitely simpler than a lot of other models and brands I've tried to use over the years. It's a super stylish looking set, smaller than the average top-box/recorder, in a nice shiny silver. It's very minimalist with just a few ... Read the complete review

First of all, let me say that at the time it was bought, this was reviewed as one of the best set-top boxes out there. And when you're coming from a VCR, it really does work like magic. The EPG allows you to record programs without worrying about programming times, and the dual tuner lets you record and watch at the same time. There are also some highly addicting games on the box, including a bejeweled clone (which is more entertaining than most programmes on TV nowadays!) There is also a function to download your recordings from the box to archive them. Althought this seemed like a really useful feature, I have to admit that it has rarely been ...

We bought the PVR 9200T, essentially, as it had been recommended by The Gadget Show on Five (who generally know what they're talking about). Unfortunately though, the box hasn't quite lived up to its reputation. First, the good points. The picture quality is actually very good. I think it's noticeably better than my Digifusion box, and actually as good as the inbuilt tuner in my Sony TV. The remote is of a good quality and is very easy to use. Everything is sort of logically laid out, and it feels like it's been built to last. There's a handy USB port in the front which allows you to copy the recorded programs onto your computer. A brilliant idea - ... Read the complete review

I have used the PVR for 3 years now and it is an amazing PVR for recording from Freeview. The features on it are excellent. You can record 2 programmes at the same time and watch a recorded one, or record one programme and carry on watching live TV. The box has series link so you will never need to miss a programme again and can record TV and radio. Other amazing feature include having picture in picture and you can select certain programmes from your recorded library to watch one after the other. I still haven't found any disadvatages with this box, it does everything that I need it to. Ok it is bit bulky but then it does have 2 tuners in the box. ... Read the complete review

On a whole this is an excellent PVR set top box. It works very reliably and records a large number of data. I think it is quoted as being able to record around 30 hours of stuff which isn't too bad, however by todays standards the hard drives are a little larger now. This isn't too much of a problem if like me, you record something then when you've watched it you simply delete it, however if you want to keep stuff you rapidly begin to run short on space! The video and recording quality is very good and I have not noticed any drop in quality from TV to recording. The interface can be a little confusing at first to get your head around, with a multitude of buttons and ... Read the complete review
