I’m looking at ditching Sky as the vast majority of what we watch is available on Freeview or Freesat so looking at a PVR box. A few years ago when I last looked into this Humax seemed to be the only game in town and both my dad and a mate had one, and I wasn’t really impressed. It seemed a bit clunky compared with Sky, the delay between pressing a button and something actually happening drove me potty and it just didn’t feel as good or slick as Sky, though i’m sure the spec sheet has similar features and capabilities.
So 5 or so years on, have things improved? Is Humax still the one to go for and how do the Panasonic ones compare (my TV is Panasonic so it might be beneficial to go Panasonic).
Having a quick browse round most of the models seem to be Freeview (Panasonic only seem to do Freeview), where I would prefer to go freesat.
What’s the collectives opinions? Cheers.
