I got my parents the HDR-FOX T2 last year ready for the HD switch over and they've enjoyed it so much after coming from multiple freeview boxes and recorders, the humax's T2 just simply works for them and having used it myself setting it up and when I visit, I have to agree that both the hardware and software are solid and sound.
I've love to be able to get one myself, but the girlfriend says I have freeview in the TV and she won't warrent me spending the extra cash on 'something we already have' ... girls eh
Sure would be nice to have the features the hdr-fox-t2 provides tho.
