I have recently purchased this Humax for £169-95 from Richer Sounds. It appears to be a new version having an antenna loop-through. Perhaps the absence of such a loopthrough was found to be an economy too far.
I am disappointed with the user interface which seems much too complicated and anti-intuitive. I think Humax should learn that half of their potential customers have below-average intelligence, and therefore market a product which is much more easy to use. This user interface seems to be designed by a computer geek and inadequately tested by feedback from ordinary people.
One glaring anomaly concerns the Favourites mode. When in a Favourites mode, by keying-in a channel number which is NOT listed in that mode, the machine is thereby knocked out of the Favourites mode back into "TV" mode, which causes confusion. It should only be possible to exit the Favourites mode by the same route taken to enter it.
