We bought a Humax 9200T Personal Video Recorder last Thursday. It is very much like a Sky Plus box in operation and comes with a 160GB Hard Drive, so apparently can record up to 100 hours of TV,
Now I had heard that one of these boxes completely changes the way you watch TV....and they were not joking. We now do searches for movies that are on during the week and then schedule them for recording. I also do searches for Poker programmes (normally on in the middle of the night in the UK) and record those. It was thanks to this that we saw Great Britain win the 888.com Nations Cup.
We are still playing with it and learning it foibles (including that the current software that came with it is over 6 months old and seems a little too unstable for my liking with a few crashes). I have bought a null modem cable and will try to update the software on it later today and see it that improves things.
Even with the software problem, it is certainly one impressive piece of kit.
