The software is not ready yet
This box is ok hardware side I think but really in beta ( maybe alpha ? ) software stage. Really needs the promised phone app to program it and some major speed reliability and usability upgrades. I have kept it to watch as it ( hopefully ) develops but I suspect June before anything major happens .. I have other recorders to use for now and when this crashes. It works a little better if you don’t really need freely for catchup as you can start it up with no WiFi tune it on your aerial and then without retuning turn WiFi back on. Picture is good ..

Very poor piece of kit unless you have freeview via an ariel. Freely non recordable and the interface is very clunky not fit for purpose and lack netflix amazon and disney apps.

Poor
i purchased this after having Humax for many years with very good performance but this new model is so unreliable and not user friendly that after 18 days I packed it back up and returned it for a refund this has no come back on Argos who were totally helpful and had no problems with the return Humax really need to get there act together and get there EPG sorted there recording wont work if the EPG has no programming info and when you do get something to record it shows as there but nothing on screen the old PTV 5000 we have is far better than this new one

Dreadful
I bought this as an upgrade to my 10 year old Humax PVR. It was dreadful, difficult to use, I had to keep going from Freely to the record menu, which were not the same, it was very difficult to tune in, had to factory reset twice. It was sluggish, most recordings failed too. It kept switching itself off for no reason. Tried to update software but the box refused to update and stopped working all together. I returned it, I just hope my old Humax box doesn't break.

Not worth the money
The claim that you can be and running in minutes is rather misleading. Difficult to connect the internet and this device has had to be reset twice and then a factory reset and then back to the same problems. Freely channels not working when selecting them . Not worth the price.

100% rubbish humax you can do better!
What a load of rubbish, we have had lots of humax units in the past and always been an upgrade but this unit is the wost item I have bought avoid.

Not suitable as a Freeview recorder
I chose Humax because we have two other Freeview PVRs, one of which is sadly on its last legs. Sadly I can't recommend this as a Freeview recorder. The Freely functionality is fine and works well with our home broadband. However, the software is so biased towards Freely use that the Freeview side is pretty much an afterthought. Setting a recording is very cumbersome as you can't jump to particular dates or channels in the Freeview EPG. You can set a series link for a recording but series aren't shown as such in the display of recorded programmes, they just display in the order they were recorded or alphabetically. If you can find the first program in a series amongst the jumble of recordings the next episode isn't offered for playback, despite there being a settings switch to allow this. The next thing to be recorded is played whether it's part of the series or not. There are multiple tuners allowing several things to be recorded at once. However, if you're watching something on iPlayer, for instance, when a recording starts you get booted out of the streaming service and taken to the channel you're recording. I know this is a new device and this is just the first iteration of the firmware and software but, as it stands, it's just too frustrating to use for Freeview. Save £20 and buy the Manhattan T4-R box.
