Humax PVR 9300t

After having the Humax for a while this is an addtional perspective.

Need to clear memory, then scan for channel 62 to lock on to UK channels. Else everyone starts speaking wealsh.

Pause live TV is buggy. You have to remember it take a minute or so for the information to be processed you can reach the end of a recording whilst its still recording... instablity.

Good background noise level, having had terrible VCRs you can bearly hear it.

The sound control is a little annoying its all to easy to have the tv up loud and have static.

Freeview overall is a little annoying given they went for channels over quality, the shear amount of repeats and channels I don't watch.

They are planning a interweb linked in version so you can effective capture a week if not more crap.

200hrs record with 1 playlist?

The number buttons default to TV list. (going to have to manual scan to get rid of BBC wales) Likewise seemingly no way of assigning buttons with channels.

Manual recording i-plate disappears within 1/2 a second.

Tiny REC indicator on box panel. No clear "active" indicator on guide either... given I'm not use to them working the way they should.

PIP is a gimmick for some, anyway of removing it from the list?

Commercial skip under a slat seems bad choice.

Mute causes TV to hum. Volume control not great.

Games? Really?

Overall:

It works, its pretty, (bit thin, needs stand) I've got use to it but the intended users, my parents may struggle due to sensitivity of buttons.

Little, no fan noise or slow EPG, although changing channels can be blocky.
