Difference between Humax boxes?

LeNNoX

Hi Guys,

What is the difference between Humax HD PVR & Humax HDR PVR?
- you have the HDR PVR model listed on your web site

Sorry if a silly question & they're the same, I'm confused with all the specs that are out there.

Hi LeNNoX.

I hope this helps clear things up a little

Kenny,

Thanks for the quick response.

Am i correct in saying "PVR" doesn't apply to the Humax HD (non hard disk box)?

You would indeed be correct in saying that the PVR does not apply to the Humax HD non hard drive version.

PVR (personal video recorder) is a device that records video in a digital format to a Disk Drive.

The pvr would give you "sky plus" type abilities with the freesat channels eg live pause,the ability to record 2 programmes at once,record one whilst watching another etc
For full recording,you need two cables from your dish to that humax pvr and a dual or quad lnb on your dish.
It can work with just one cable but you can only record the programme you are watching if you do that.

I bought the hard drive version from Richersounds in May 2009 and it is the biz. Pausing live tv, rewinding it or just plain recording it is brilliant, especially as I've got 5 kids who always want Dad for something when he's watching the tv

And the biggest plus is that as its a freesat box, you aren't paying SKY a hefty premium every month. Once you buy the Humax, its yours and no more bills.

BB & Boardies,

I have a Humax myself (as well as a Sagem tuner - how much TV can a household watch ) & you can actually use the Humax HDR with one satellite feed however it does have more limited functionality - you can record two programmmes at the same time or record one & watch another, even with one feed - however you are a little limited with what 2 channels you can watch or record at the same time - and sometimes if you are recording one channel - thenther one you are watching can be a bit 'pixelly' but if it's just throwaway TV it's normally fine.

Thanks again and keep us posted if we can assist in any way,
