Humax PVR Smart

Humax's standard-definition PVR Smart has two digital tuners and a 160GB hard disk built in, allowing simultaneous recording of two stations and storage capacity for up to 100 hours of video.

Smooth fast-forward and rewind in high-speed scanning mode. Commercial skip button. Dual tuners allow simultaneous recording of two channels. Responsive, intuitive menus.

No HDMI or component video connections. Doesn't support third-party EPGs. Bundled PC software wouldn't let us connect to PVR via USB.

A decent choice if you're looking for a standard-definition PVR with dual-tuners, although we still feel the slightly more expensive Topfield TF5000PVRt is a better deal.
