#Humax updates coming soon - more details here:


A software update for the PVR 9200T is coming soon - OTA dates can be found here- Humax's Facebook page
Update will be transmitted overnight so your unit should just find your unit is updated in the morning.  9150 and 9300 updates coming soon.
Bug fixes seem to be the order of the day – including the fix for units freezing (thank goodness).

Would #Humax and #Microsoft please talk (yeah, right)

I have and use both a Humax 9200T and a Microsoft Media Centre computer to record TV for offline watching. After several years of this setup I now hardly ever watch TV ‘live’ and the boxes just record all I’m interested in and I just consume at will. But neither platform is perfect. So what’s the chance of Microsoft and Humax looking at each other’s products and improving. Yup, thought so, 0%. So…


Microsoft please:
  • Let me edit the programmes easily and cut down the file sizes
  • Can you make my hardware work in Windows 7 please
  • Let me multi-select a few programmes and delete them in one go
  • Develop a remote control that works from my WinMo phone
  • Develop a media extender that is NOT an XBOX.  I don't want a noisy console, I want a small, discrete, quiet unit that will stream the files over WiFi.
Humax please:
  • Give me a 14 day EPG
  • Have an unlimited series follow – 25 is so random (and low)
  • Have an unlimited number of recordings – 50 can be too few
  • When I chase play, and then stop, please remember where I was!
  • Can you give me network access to the recordings
  • Let me quickly (one button) delete the recording when I stop playing it
On balance I still don't know which one I prefer to use, guess I'll keep them both going for now!
