    Hello All, A few years ago we were LG dealers and somehow we ended up with a delivery of Humax freeview recorders. All I remember is they were very low in height. I'm after one, does anyone know the model, thanks. They really were slim, just a little taller than the 2.5 drive in it. Thanks.

    Do you really mean a 2.5 inch drive? They are only about 1/4 inch thick.
    But even if you meant a 3.25 inch drive, that's still pretty damn slimline.

    My 9300t would have been around 2.5" tall (I'd think, from memory). I got mine in 2011 and I think they were around quite a few years before that so might be too old for what you are thinking of.

    Later HDR-1800T models are reported to have a 2.5" drive but the same case is used as the HDR-2000T which is 50mm high. The more recent FVP-4000T and the current FVP-5000T have cases that are 48mm high.

    If you're looking to buy new then look at the Humax Direct website...

    ...if not new then Ebay is your best bet.

    I don't think it was a Humax model. Suspect it may have been one of these.

    I can't do with smart asses, but you, Graham L Thompson, are the bees knees. As a ex top engineer with LG I cursed people who couldn't even get the model right. Never mind the make. You are bang on, Thankyou Graham.
    Have a good Xmas and sorry to the other who I fed with wrong info, bye all.

    I remember this model but for some reason despite the launch blurb it just seemed to fizzle out for some reason. No idea why.

    If I remember right LG gave customers free Humax Freeview PVR's because the late change to mixed Group Of Pictures (GOPS) in the data stream to allow a dynanic switch from interlaced to 1080p25, which on some TV's disrupted the picture.
