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

Product Information

I'm reasonably computer savvy, just wanting to preempt any problems before I hit them, so any advice is welcome. Also, f the recordings are from the same Multiplex frequency you can watch any other channel you want. If 100 hours of recording space is not enough, you may want to consider the next model in the range, the Humax PVD-9300T.

If you decide to use Auto padding (ie start recording a few minutes early and continue past the end) then Series Link is turned off.

We will not accept any exchange or refund that product was damaged or broken artificial in your side or suffered damage anything directly or indirectly caused by you. I was expecting it to take a while to step through the disk, taking note of bad areas and taking them out of use. If you've still got reception problems then report back with signal strength and quality readings, it may be your aerial is not good enough or damaged. Status is indicated by a line of LEDs and it takes a while to learn what each means, because from your sofa you can’t see the text. Is the build quality of the box good because the TUTV box looks cheap and does not feel good quality, and my Humax Foxsat-HD Freesat stbs build quality is very good and looks and feels good quality compared to the TUTV box?

If you are that technical and worry about a drive lasting longer than the manufacturers warranty period - normally more than 3 years - then go for the first in my recommendation list, as its is a CE drive! The 8-day programme guide is core to the functioning of the PVR and is populated with information being broadcast, although it seems to go through this process each time it starts, so you don’t have instant access to the full EPG, which can be a pain and slow you down if you want to set-up a recording as you fly out of the door. As part of the upgrade, the electronic programme guide (EPG) will now load in seconds rather than minutes. I have had a look on a couple of forums and think that maybe I need to upgrade the firmware, but I don't have any cables. But if I had to design and sell a remote with that many buttons then hiding a lot of them to perspective purchasers seems an excellent idea.

Over eight million households on certain benefits and tax credits will receive their second cost of living payment from today (Tuesday 31 October). Recorded programs on the hard drive are all fine, but upcoming shows preprogrammed ready to record are lost.

The most frustrating are late starts of News programme which tend to included the Headlines right at the beginning which are often missed on my Humax. Our massive sale includes a wide range of televisions from various brands and sizes, so there's something for everyone. For several months owners have been experiencing problems such as freezing and locking up of the boxes.He has strong opinions on the latest TV technology, Hi-Fi and Blu-ray/media players, and likes nothing better than to crank up his ludicrously powerful home theatre system to binge-watch TV shows. If the programme changes to a different day or time the PVR-9150T will track these changes and still record the programme. As you say if you use the 14-day EPG option on the TUTV PVRs then this should not apply, you either get all or nothing. We found that the image quality was not up to the standard of the Freeview tuner in our test TV - the quality of your connections may play a part in this (another reason you might want to take advantage of the aerial loop through).

Design wise, the PVR-9150T is pretty tidy and can be easily housed without rearranging the furniture. We offer this guarantee on all our products to demonstrate our confidence in each and every one of them. Ideally I didn't want to spend too much, as the Humax is quite old anyway, but we prefer to it catch up TV. Under the hood, essentially, you’ll find twin Freeview tuners and 160GB of hard disk drive and this is where the real contest is fought.Connected the 9300 to the TV via HDMI and switched on the TV, plugged in the aerial to the 9300 then plugged into the mains and switched on.
