The point is that you use something like the Roku for your catch up needs then choose a PVR for being the best at what a PVR does which is recording broadcast services.

Hi. Thanks guys. I really like this idea. Have read good things about the Fox T2. I shall investigate...

Hi Guys
Would you go used or new Humax HDR-Fox T2? What's their shelf-life like? A new 500gb one with 1yr warranty £190.

I thought, as a discontinued model, it could be had for a lot less than that (say £120 or so) and many users consider it better than what it was replaced with.

If you read these and other forums, it seems quite obvious which terrestrial PVR to buy (IMHO). After the recent batch of HDR Fox T-2 appearing on the Maplin site and selling out VERY quickly, perhaps other suppliers have noticed this and ramped up their prices.
Just a thought.

Why Humax have told you they cannot offer support on the product is beyond me at the moment, especially as it is available through retail outlets. I will check next week on this.Any news on this?
Apparently BT provide the support, I find this strange to be honest for retail customers who have no other connection with BT.

Thanks for the confimation. As I understand it, the BT-badged boxes receive BT upgrades, even if bought retail and connected to a different network. Maybe that's why BT provide the support. This weird situation is what's put me off buying a BT-badged DTR-T2***
Now I'm hoping this new, echt Humax box may turn out to be a decent PVR, with added catchup. If so I may go for it.
