If I was more technologically minded I'd probably give this 5 stars. It offers more features then I think I'll ever be able to get my head round. I've had it a week and so far it records reliably, the picture is excellent and it does everything I've asked of it. There are too many on screen options and they're a bit fiddly to navigate. A minor niggle - you can't go backwards on a recorded radio programme! It also seems to take an age to get started when you switch on. Compared to my old Panasonic it does more (three tuners is a great feature) but it isn't as intuitive to use. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in time. And I must say I'd never have known this wasn't a brand new unit. Nice one!

The recorder works okay overall, except for the remote control which is unresponsive on the OK and arrow buttons and so leads to you having to keep pressing buttons until it reacts. Other buttons are not affected but it does mean that you can accidentally cancel or delete recordings by pressing the OK key too many times. I have downloaded the Humax Remote app for my tablet and this works perfectly all the time. Also, for some reason, mine doesn't show any on demand players such as All 4 and iPlayer but you can access them by searching for programs or from the guide. Being able to use the multi-room feature, a bit like Sky-Q, via the additional H3 box is good, although whether it works is a bit hit and miss. I would be annoyed if I had paid full price but at around £100 for the 500gb model, it was probably worth it. I needs a better remote and a software update to resolve the missing on-demand players issue.Read full review

Box is easy to set up. The EPG is ok but could be improved. There are 2 usb sockets but using a stick or a drive came with problems. I tried a 32gb stick and a 500gb Seagate drive without much success. If anything can be copied to them it takes a long time ... a 2 hour film took almost an hour. Apart from that it seems like a good reliable box.

The product is easy to use and set up but unfortunately, it has a limited life span with various reasons for failure, such as will not power up, will not locate channels. I continue to use it because it has such good recording features.

We have found this recorder easy to install and easy to use. Having owned a previous model, this latest version is much improved. One thing that I found frustrating is the OK button on the remote control, sometimes needs more than one press to function. Overall, very pleased with this purchase.
