To err is human so the saying goes, however considering the 'HU' prefix of Humax implies 'human' i should have expected issues with my new freeview hard disk recorder, the Humax 9200T. I was a little surprised to have problems, even given the prefix, as Humax have an excellent reputation in this market sector.
I upgraded my receiver from a (£39) phillips set top box which had no issues apart from the odd hardware lock but since this was a monthly problem it was not a major pain. My signal strength for Freeview is not great in Upminster, however the phillips product had no issues with sound/vision or picking up channels.....The humax however suffers badly from pops,clicks and glitches with sound and vision on most channels, the twin tuner setup in the Humax must be slightly less sensitive than the phillips device. Thus i can't say the Humax is a bad product, its just my bad signal that is the issue. In fact the Humax device itself is a joy to use with nicely thought out functions and a logical series of steps for every function on the remote.
I would love to upgrade my aerial but the building lease prevents me from having my own antenna since i am in block of flats, the shared aerial is obviously the issue but the one issue i can't solve easily. Thus 8 out of 10 for the Humax device but Zero for my signal.
