Best PVRs?

I notice that my 9200, which I have set to pad recordings (and

inelegantly if the padding causes overlaps.

I no longer use that facility because I've found that the broadcasters
are getting much better and sending the "start" and "finish" signals.

I think on the 9200 you set it to "accurate record" (from memory, I'm
using a Fox).

On the Fox I can't remember the last time I lost the start or end of a
programme.

Hi

I wanted to get a replacement twin tuner PVR and was considering a
Humax, but have read that their menus are poor and they freeze a lot
(even the more expensive FOX T2

Has anyone used/got a PANASONIC DMRHW100 and would they recommend it?

Any other suggestions (need Freeview, twin tuner, 300gb min but HD not
necessary)

Thanks

I have two PVRs - a Humax 9200T and a brand new shiny Humax Fox HDR and
I quite literally want to have their babies.

They are smashing bits of kit.

I have a Panasonic recorder with DVD, which I am very happy with. I
would expect the hard drive only model would be just as good.

I am more than satisfied with my Humax PVR. It doesn't freeze.

My Humax (9300) doesn't freeze. However it does have a number of
annoying bugs including: not recording the beginning of programmes,
forgetting to record anything, and playback stopping unexpectedly. It
also has some UI irritations too.

posted from there. If you wish your postings to be seen by
everyone you will need use a different method of posting.

I can't update the software on my Humax PVR. The option is permanently
grayed out. The most irritating thing is the EPG supplied by the cable
company which is often wrong. The cable company only provides the next
72 hours

What model is this? I've not come across a "cable" Humax before.

Thanks everyone, I may well go for a Humax then. Interesting point is
that Richer Sounds advertise the lower end Humax as Freeview and the
higher end Freeview+, but looking at the spec, the lower end boxes are
also Freeview+ ??

Is one Freeview+ and the other Freeview HD+? Wouldn't surprise me to find a
high street shop getting mixed up.
