About this product
Take control of your TV viewing with the Humax FHR-6000T 2TB Freely Recorder. Watch live TV, pause and rewind programmes, and record your favourites to enjoy whenever it suits you. With access to Freely, you can watch live and on-demand content from major UK broadcasters, including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, all in one place.
The generous 2TB hard drive stores up to 1,000 hours of recordings, making it ideal for busy households. Triple tuner technology allows you to record up to four programmes while watching a fifth, helping you avoid schedule clashes and never miss your favourite shows. The 7-day TV guide makes it easy to plan recordings in advance, including series recordings, while the Humax Aura app lets you manage recordings remotely. Setup is quick and straightforward with automatic configuration and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. You can connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and an internet connection is required to access Freely live and on-demand services. Enjoy enhanced picture quality with 4K upscaling on compatible TVs and immersive sound with Dolby Digital Plus audio.
You can watch Freely channels over your broadband connection without an aerial. To record TV programmes, you'll need to connect a TV aerial, as recording is only available for channels received through the aerial.

Customers Say
The Humax FHR-6000T PVR suffers from software bugs, difficult setup, unreliable recording, and a clunky interface, disappointing many long-time users despite good hardware and picture quality.

Don't buy it
We previously had 2 Humax boxes and foolishly thought this would be as easy to set up. It was horrendous and after attempting to reset over a week and it still didn't work. Eventually contacted Argos customer service and took it back and refunded mee

Still trying to set it up.
Nightmare to set up. Keeps asking for passwords. Took 45 mins to navigate my way to a free to view live program whereas before I just hit a number. I am going to go back and start again using same password for everything. Why do I even need them? This is not personal data and I have not paid a subscription. Would go back to old Humax except that ITV no longer supports it. Not happy. Not in a position to review other features.

Destroyed my belief in Humax as a brand.
I've been a loyal Humax customer for well over a decade, so I approached this purchase with genuine optimism. The FHR-6000T looked promising on paper: four simultaneous recording tuners, Freely integration, and a modern interface. In practice, however, it falls some way short of what you'd expect from a brand with Humax's pedigree -- and at £249, the shortcomings sting. Software instability is the dominant theme. Multiple factory resets are not an unusual occurrence for owners of this box; they appear to be a near-inevitable part of the experience. Firmware updates that wipe your settings mid-setup, screens that freeze without warning, recordings that produce nothing but a blank screen, and a box that occasionally refuses to switch on at all -- these are the kinds of issues you'd tolerate in a beta product, not a £249 retail release. The interface adds to the frustration. Recording and the Freely guide operate as two separate, disconnected systems, which makes scheduling anything more awkward than it needs to be. The recording system is awfully basic and clunky. Series linking -- a staple of PVR functionality for years -- doesn't work reliably, and the channel edit option, which might at least help tame the 260-channel Freely lineup, is reportedly disabled entirely. The promised companion app, which the manual describes as part of the core experience, has not been released at time of writing. Humax's older PVR models set a high bar. This one doesn't clear it. The hardware may well be capable, but the software is simply not ready for a retail launch. Until Humax delivers meaningful firmware updates and releases the app they've been promising, I'd strongly suggest holding off on this one and sticking with a tried-and-tested alternative. I've returned mine.
