Which magazine of July 2006 reported as follows:-
'When they are working, personal video recorders (PVRs) are brilliant at recording from television, with virtually no degradation of picture and sound quality. Unfortunately, they suffer more than their share of problems, according to our survey. PVRs are relatively new products and we have data for only the last two years, but over that time one in six has needed repair.
There is one shining light amid the gloom. Humax completely trumps the rest of the field with an impressive 93 per cent reliability rate, compared with an average of just 79 per cent for all other brands.'
It (the report) goes on to say:-
'Given their superior reliability it is no surprise to find that more Humax owners (65 per cent) would definitely recommend their brand to a friend than owners of any other PVR'
From my own personal experience and since the latest updates, I fully endorse this view. In my opinion (humble of course) Humax have produced a fine piece of equipment and it is only a matter of time before Which rate the 9200T as the Best Buy on the market.

Also Which? appear to lump together hardware failure with occasional software gliches in this report.
I bought one today, followed the instal instructions to the letter, tried to switch it on and nothing happened, now I have a 45 minute trek back to the store to change it, doh!
