What customers say about "Key Specs"

Humax HDR-2000T 500GB Freeview HD Digital TV Recorder

The picture is excellent, if anything better than using the TV by itself. The sound levels are adequate.
Great viewing with super sharp picture quality and sound. Money well spent, trust me you won't be disappointed.
Very nice and user friendly layout, with a very informative menu screen.
On some channels, after a few minutes the sub-titles go ahead of the speech. The only way of correcting this is to stop and re-start the playback.
Very disappointed in this product. Easy enough to install but it takes ages to switch on.

Humax DTR-T2000 500GB YouView Receiver with HD

This YouView recorder has been absolutely superb so far and I'm mightily impressed with it.
Am very pleased with this - does exactly what it says on the tin and have had it several months now and it's been about 98% reliable.
Great price, Humax are a great brand in the PVR and this is no exception - and this one is a great price compared to other Humax models.
The only negative with this box is the noise, it is so, so noisy! The hard drive is constantly clicking and whining like some really old pc.
The hard disk makes a slight sound. You only really hear it when the TV is off so it's not a massive problem for us.

What customers say about "Recording And Playback"

Humax HDR-2000T 500GB Freeview HD Digital TV Recorder

Works perfectly fine so far and have successfully recorded many programmes, and enjoyed a very clear picture.
It does series record and put the series into individual folders, you can record 2 programs at the same time and watch a recorded one.
Sometimes it stops responding while recording - so you have a choice of leaving it recording so you don't loose your recordings or resetting it and loosing your recordings.
I initially had a lot of problems with the quality of my picture and some recordings failed as the channels were not available.
Sometimes when playing recorded programmes the box would power off and then reboot.

Humax DTR-T2000 500GB YouView Receiver with HD

This device is instantly responsive, so far 100% reliable at recording scheduled programmes, and completely silent.
After setup completed, we had access to 142 TV channels, 13 of which are HD. Better than our Freeview
Recording was as accurate as Sky with no programme start / stop cut off so far.
Since then I have had to reset it twice I lose all my recordings, and retune the channels many times.
There is no display on the front to tell you what channel or recording you are watching.

What customers say about "Features"

Humax HDR-2000T 500GB Freeview HD Digital TV Recorder

Quick Start Guide and User's Manual - both of which get you through the basics fairly quickly and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy he machine is to use.
Very good instruction booklet. Quick to set up, channel tuning automatic.
I'm very happy with good quality and quick service of this Humax product.
The remote control is also nice to use albeit the noisy bubble-wrap-pop button press.
One other thing which has attracted adverse comment is that the cursor navigation buttons on the remote make an annoying clicking noise.

Humax DTR-T2000 500GB YouView Receiver with HD

Obviously the unique selling point for this device is being able to watch already broadcast programs using all of the available on-demand services.
Pleasantly surprised with remote control. Good range of features and well made design.
The remote control buttons became increasingly difficult to press and then stop working.
Youview does not offer us any extra features and was annoyed I had to connect to the internet just to set it up.
Cannot hide/unhide channels within guide, Youview state awaiting software update.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Humax HDR-2000T 500GB Freeview HD Digital TV Recorder

Transferring recorded programmes to PC is easy using a USB flash stick.
Superb kit. USB port is particularly helpful for transferring files. Well made and reliable. I love Humax.
Good thing is you can pop in a usb and keep something you don't want to get rid of.
Simply connect a few leads let the box tune in all stations in your area total around 160 including the HD ones.
The signal from my local transmitter is strong, but the software decided to select a weak transmitter signal.

Humax DTR-T2000 500GB YouView Receiver with HD

Easy to use. Setup was very easy. Simple plugged in ethernet cable (from router), aerial, power cable, and hdmi (to the tv) at the back and turned on the machine.
Disappointed that the usb socket is basically useless. cant download anything that is saved on the HD.
Its a shame there is no WIFI or at least a WIFI USB adapter option for these boxes.
Can't connect a USB memory stick with video on it, an external hard drive or a Fire TV stick for example.
Lack of wifi could be a big barrier to using the catch up services and remote record - it needs an ethernet connection.
