I'll try and find out more about where exactly he got it from, it's a new graded model. I'll have the ebay receipt of course, for what that's worth. I've looked at the warranty registration page on Humaxs site, and it looks like they use the serial no as a way of tracking the machines...
The seller says it should be ok to register the warranty online with Humax to get a years cover. Anyone have any experience of claiming on a warranty direct with Humax?
Yes, sorry, slightly dyslexic, I meant reliability. I think I saw on here that you can get the PSU repaired for £20. From experience with tech like this, if nothing goes wrong in the first few weeks, then it will be good until way after the warranty has expired.
The sellers T&C's state:

Oh well, i bit the bullet and got a new "in replacement packaging" (ex display or customer return) T2 from ebay for £99.99 delivered. Then I saw a "managers special" 2000T on HumaxDirect for £109+£5.99P&P. Happy to have saved £16, but just a bit concerned that there's only a 30 warranty on the...
I'm not sure the IPTV channels will be much use to them, but the faster EPG would be, I find it a tad slow myself sometimes. So as I understand, the real benefits of the T2 is the custom firmware which gives the ability to decrypt HD recordings and copy them to an external drive and the remote...
Thanks for your replies. There are still quite a few T2's on sale, but often priced a little higher than the 2000t, which says a lot about which is better. Are there any benefits of the 2000t over the T2, does it have more in the way of on demand services for example? BBC iplayer is great on the...
I'm looking for a new PVR for my parents for Christmas. I have an HDR Fox T2 with custom firmware and I'm generally happy with it, though my old Toppy running mystuff still manages series recording and timer clashes better.
So is the FOX T2 still the preferred option over the HDR 2000T? Did is...
Ah, missed that bit! No, it doesn't mention growing, it just displays 314MidB, which was the size of the April file.
But I think I win a prize for the most pointless question, I've only just realised that I was accessing iPlayer through my TV, not the Humax! I'm now streaming London Grammer...
Thanks. I'm not sure how to navigate to this location? Do I need root access to the Humax? All my PC can see drive1, My Music, My Photos, My video.
However, I'm not sure this will get us any further as save streamed content is showing me this, which looks like to April program I mentioned...
I've been trying to download some of the Glastonbury material from iPlayer using the "last streamed content" function in the custom firmware. This used to work a dream, but now every time program has finished and I click save, the resulting file is a program from April, which was when I last...
Ok, box arrived from Humax Direct the next dav as promised. Apart from the OEM type box, it looks as good as new, they even supplied an HDMI cable!
Haven't had that much time to play with it until today, but seems to work fine and have made a few recordings.
So I'm now ready to install the...
"G means grade A."
Just wanted to check, I saw something earlier that suggested the custom firmware might not work on newer boxes because of a slight difference in firmware/hardware (can't find it now). Were they referring to the HDR 2000, or new versions of the HDR T2? If its the later, this...
Well, my new flat does look a bit like its been hit by a bomb at the moment. I really should try and unpack and sort through everything, rather than spend time sorting my AV out!
Great, just ordered it. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will get it tomorrow, as I moved yesterday (Toppy damaged in transit, which is why I'm so keen to get this asap, can't be PVR less). They need to call me on a landmine at my new address as its different to my billing address, so hope they...
Hi
Richer sounds are selling these as "graded" unites for £149.99, and I also have a £10 off voucher. I phoned to reserve one, but unfortunately they haven't got the remote for it. They will try to chase one up for me, but it's unlikely to be until the new year, and I want it now as my Toppy...
