Humax PVR-9200T Personal Video Recorder Comments

Great article but I am totally new to PVR's, being a VHS person. Have read a lot but still do not know if they will be suitable for my viewing. We often stop part way through a program and watch following day. Will PVR's pick up from where I left it or can I go quickly through when starting again? If I have say 20 hours of programming recorded how can I archive the one I want,are they stored in date order?
Is the 9300 series that much better than the 9200 and worth the extra?
Many thanks

I've been having issues with my PVR9200 for the last few months - there is apparently a known issue if units arent kept in standby all the time - hard disk errors. Mine has been "fixed" once and has gone wrong again - I've been offered a replacement "factory grade" unit which may or may not have had a functional fault and no extension on my warranty so only a couple of months to see if it will go wrong again.
You cannot rely on being able to keep programs indefinitely - I have now lost programs I wanted to keep twice so far

Having read the great reviews this PVR has had I bought one. I was very happy with it apart from the loud hum. It broke down 9 months later. It has been 2 months now trying to get any responce from Humax. Don't email the cusomer services-they do not respond. If you phone you have to wait at least 15 minutes on an 0870 (10p per min) number before anyone responds. Eventually they sent a replacement-a refurbished scratched one that would not even switch on! Will never buy a Humax product again.

I have had a PVR9200t for some time a Great Machine, lost all recordings once early on, re-booted and has been fine since. I also have single tuner PVR8000t which I only use very occasionally now, so is not on permanent standby but still works fine every time. I would look at Humax again if I was looking to upgrade in ther future.

I have had myPVR 92oot for nearly 2years and it has been superb, but now with the digital changeover I cannot get the BBC channels at all. Can anyone help please it appears the signal is not strong enough even with a brand new aerial and booster.

Hi Ingrid
I had the same problem, until I discovered that the channels have moved - look in the channels numbered around 800 - hopefully ,like mine they will be there!
