Humax Freeview playback Digital TV Recorder PVR-9150T 160GB Twin Tuner PVR

Product Information

The remote is ok but come on this is a supper deal package so dont expect a sony standard glossy remote and waffer thin unit. They also told me that the freezing problem is apparently due to freeview upgrades that have been happening over the recent weeks and all we need to do is download their upgrade and all will be fixed.

Even my TV manages to remember the EPG when I turn it off and has it instantly visible when I need it. They turn it off at the mains each night, and back on again the next day (I don't think they trust electricity.One of the boxes has missed 3 out of around 50 recordings, these were the second of double bill episodes but i've found if I set them as one off recordings and not series links they record fine. In fact it made things worse because it erased our recording schedule so we missed several programmes. The status lights are both clearly labelled and logical and do not on multi-colours to convey information. To switch it out of stand-by just press the standby button on the remote so that the front panel light is green.

I can delete the Welsh channels from the listing on the PVR but cannot relocate the correct channels to positions 1 and 2. Think that the drives are IDE - once you have the cover off if there's a ribbon cable about 3" wide in the back of the drive then it's IDE and these don't cost much - good used ones can be had for little money. Channel access is covered in 4 ways, using the Guide, channel List (remote button giving a dropdown list), channel rocker button or direct access through the numeric pad. There is no troubleshooting guide for any of their PVRs - they don't even appear on their support site under the product list.

English student living loans will once again rise by less than the rate of inflation, the Government has announced. I also had to cope with somebody of the older generation who defaulted to turning everything off - my solution was to put covers over switches and cover up pilot lights so that nothing looked on. The buttons had not effect, until i realised we needed to press one many times (eventually up to 150 times ! The interface is reasonably straightforward, although the design of the remote control is poor, with no real thought behind the button layout and several frequently used controls hidden beneath a sliding cover.

I was not looking forward to the end of analogue have used VHS tapes for so long and enjoying the convenience of taking them from one room or house to another.If my box is in standby I find Accurate Recording on Humax terrestrial reasonable enough to be useful. To the right of the status area a drop-down panel reveals a slot to accept a "Common Interface" module. There's only 4 screws on the back of the Humax holding the cover on then another 4 screws holding the HD cradle in place, then another 4 screws holding the HD to the cradle.

Beneath the bonnet reside two standard-definition Freeview tuners, which enable two channels to be recorded simultaneously. Seriously though, cheers for this, and yes I have the requisite piles of phono leads to dig one out from! When not exploring consumer tech, Chris can be found riding his bike - and gathering all the data for later examination.

After a run through with me and small period of around a week, she got used to it and found it quite simple to understand. Now that we've had it a week and had a chance to 'play' with most of it's features, I can find only a couple of minor points to criticise - this PVR is an excellent piece of kit with a very well-designed, intuitive and consistent 'user-interface'. smig65 - oddly enough I found this page whilst looking for help with my own (new, less than a week old) PVR-9150T skipping sometimes. Gran, being Gran uses the numeric pad, she press's 1, to get BBC1 and 5, to get Five and she's happy. However, we did find that on our first test connection there was scrolling horizontal interference visible, especially in playback.
