My first contact with Humax was the F2-FOX T on the shelves of a well know store, with its front panel display and professional appearance it outshone the opposition. Its clear and logical user interface made the F2-FOX T simple to set up and a pleasure to use. I then moved on to the PVR-8000T and was pleased to see the same user interface with obvious additions for recording. At the time I said it was the second best thing I’d bought this century, and it was, but to be honest some of the transport controls were a little awkward. My last Humax purchase was the PVR-9200TB and LGB-19DZT bought together. Again the 9200 uses the same user interface as my previous machines but with additions for its extra features. The transport controls have been considerably improved over the 8000 and with twin tuners, Series-Link and Accurate-Recording the 9200 is a dream to use, set it and forget it. The 19” TV is superb in the bedroom, slightly different user interface to my other Humax machines but still Humax. Its sensibly sized base houses decent speakers so avoiding the tinniness of small TVs. When listening to Freeview radio the screen will blank after a minute thereby saving power and screen components, a nice touch.
I wonder what my next Humax will be.
