One seller is advertising it as having 'Smart Recording'. What is 'Smart Recording'?

One seller is advertising it as having 'Smart Recording'. What is 'Smart Recording'?At a guess it's accurate recording for a one off programme, and series recording for programmes that have the required coding provided by the broadcaster.
It's a Freeview+ box pvr. It's so called smart recording capability is limited by the data provided by the Freeview epg.
How it differs from the other Freeview+ pvrs from Humax, I expect that we will find out in the near future.
At the price quoted it will be interesting to find what is omitted (if anything) other than the relatively small Hard Disk capacity.

I would expect Smart Recording to also include intelligent clash resolution and recording alternative showings if possible.
Possibly also pre-emptive recording of similar programmes that it thinks the user may also like but I think Tivo have got a lock on that kind of thing.

The photo shows it doesn't have a USB port on it. So this is like a 2000T with the USB removed and a smaller hard drive. That is a poor deal when a Sagemcom or Philips has a bigger hard drive and USB port for the same price. And of course ISP boxes are even cheaper with no USB and bigger hard drives.

No front USB port, but there is one on rear of unit.

Does the rear USB have any functionality? Can it be used for export/import/playback? Or is it just for wifi only?
With such a small hard drive capacity, lack of USB export/import could be a big problem.

It is wrong, which is why I had not bothered linking to it.
