Humax PVR-9200TB review
Expensive, but comes with plenty of bells and whistles
Boundary-pushing feature list
Only 80 hours recording capacity
Fast and feature-packed, this box offers great pictures and versatile socketry. It's smaller capacity makes it pricey, though

Humax PVR-9200T
Well equipped and easy to use, but now needs a hefty price cut to stay competitive
Smart looks; well built; easy to use; good contrast
Slightly soft pictures; colours can be overblown at times

Humax PVR-9200T v2 Freeview player
When we reviewed the original Humax PVR-9200T back in October 2006, we loved the functionality that it offered, giving an experience that was almost the same as having Sky+, but without the series link functionality. Overall, Humax have done a great...
Series link gives Sky+ functionality without the monthly subscription, dual tuners allow recording of one channel while you watch a 2nd, easy to use menus, excellent picture quality
The quality of the series functionality is only as good as the information transmitted by the broadcasters, so you sometimes miss the end of programs, slow EPG programming still persists
Overall, Humax have done a great job adding this functionality, not only to new purchasers of the PVR-9200T, but also to existing users of what is an almost two year old device.

Humax PVR9200T Personal Video Recoder
Those of us serious about getting the most from a home A/V setup will have undoubtedly invested in a Sky subscription by now. Those who can't afford the monthly outlay, don't want to pay it or have blown their cash on a 50” LCD can adopt the lite...
160GB hard drive for up to around 90 hours of recording, dual-tuner, very easy to use
No component output, DVD player or card reader, minus points for aesthetics
Priced at around £200, the Humax is reasonable value for a PVR with these sorts of features, and is a worthy investment if you’ll taken advantage of them. In comparison to a standard Freeview box you’re looking at paying around £150 extra for the...

Humax PVR-9200T review
The most feature-packed PVR on the market attempts to bring Sky+ convenience to Freeview with two tuners and a monstrous hard-drive

Humax PVR9200TB
The Humax PVR-9200T helps you in keeping up with your favourite television programmes. It is a Digital Terrestrial Set-Top Box that allows the viewer to record one show while watching another, and to record two (2) channels simultaneously while...

Humax PVR9200T
It's also the only model here that bears the latest Freeview Playback 2 certification and includes useful features including auto buffering and schedule or overrunning sports events.
Records two channels simultaneously; CI card slot; ease of use; Bright, vivid picture quality
Comparably expensive; oversized design; lacks fine detail

Humax provide a Sky+ (plus) like box for those without Sky! : Humax PVR 9200TB
The Humax PVR 9200TB is the equivalent of the Sky Plus box for those of us that don't want to be tied to monthly subscriptions, but prefer the flexibility offered by FreeView.
It was with some trepidation that I plugged my very old TV aerial into the back of this Humax FreeView PVR. Having been on cable for the last 5 years with the aerial dangling in the garden I was expecting the worst! Luckily though the box sprang to...

Humax PVR9200TB
Replacing the excellent PVR9200T is this model - the PVR9200TB - which is essentially the same PVR in black with a Freeview Playback badge slapped on the front. First impressions are misleading, as the PVR9200TB is nothing special looks-wise
Fast in operation, Twin tuners on board
Disappointing connections, Uninspiring looks
Ignore the dowdy looks, as there's enough speedy features in this box of tricks to give the Sky box a run for its money
