Humax FHR-6000T Will this need its own listing in the forum?

what is the 100GB ? The Aura is 1 or 2TB

The name of the user guide has nothing to do with the HDD capacity. "100GB" refers to the user guide's version (1.00), and "GB" that it is for the UK.
Humax started using that convention over 20 years ago.

Below is an example from December 2004 for user guide version 200GB when the PVR's capacity was 80GB. The next year Humax bought to the UK market the 9200T with what at least one review described as a "monstrous" 160GB (HDD https://www.stuff.tv/review/humax-pvr-9200t-review/), but the first that 2005 model user guide name for that model included the text 100GB, because it is the guide's version, and region, and not the disk capacity.

Even more proof of just how lacking Humax are in even the most basic of actions. If it is version 1 then call it version 1 or 1.00 not 100 and call it UK not GB , what sort of clueless muppet would come up with that title for a guide for a device that has storage measured in GB.

That just shows how incompetent Humax are then, UHD and 4k are not the exact same thing and what is the 100GB ? The Aura is 1 or 2TB

From your own reference link:

When it comes to televisions, the terms UHD and 4K are often used interchangeably by manufacturers.

call it UK not GB

That depends. There is a geographic distinction.

You're tilting at windmills.

Is there a difference between GB and UK as far as the information in the guide is concerned? There certainly is a huge difference between 1 and 100. I would have thought a pedant such as yourself who so often demands clarity from others would see 100GB as being a foolish choice but then again maybe you just get off on being a tiresome pedant.

There could be. In Northern Ireland can't users pick up some channels from Ireland? That could make a difference to the guide. I'm sure I've seen reference to Saorview in one or more user manual. The UK manual might mention it, the GB one shouldn't. (Maybe)

Besides which, foreign organisations don't necessarily understand the difference, and "Great Britain" has a longer history and use than "United Kingdom". Heck, the Americans hardly know there is anything other than England. And why should they? How much do we know about, say, the administrative subdivisions of Brazil?

However, there is a difference between "GB" and "UK" and they are not interchangeable, regardless of whether they are used correctly. One cannot assume.

It's a model code, only of relevance for model identification. How you personally choose to interpret the characters in a model code is your own problem. However much a pedant I might be, I cannot influence how Humax choose their model codes and it is necessary to go with it. Railing against it is pointless, which I suggest is actually a reaction to your own misunderstanding.

The simple distinction is that Great Britain designate a geographical area and that United Kingdom designates a political area.

Explain to the Yanks that is the same distinction as between North America and the USA.

 

[EEPhil]

How much do we know about, say, the administrative subdivisions of Brazil?

Nothing. Ask the same question about the USA. I can't work their system out.

However, there is a difference between "GB" and "UK" and they are not interchangeable, regardless of whether they are used correctly. One cannot assume.

I used to get fed up of explaining that (and the European Convention of Human Rights has nothing to do with the EU - I even had to explain that one to a professor/head of department).

That could easily be proven as a valid or not reason. Is there another version of that same manual produced just for Northern Ireland?

Are you suggesting that the manual is also aimed at foreign organisations now ? You are really getting desperate . I suppose you would also think that producing a new car and naming it Rust Bucket 2024 would be perfectly ok as it is only the name of the model. It has nothing to do with my misunderstanding and everything to do with their lack of common sense. Even just putting a space between 100 and GB would be an improvement though the 100 serves not real purpose as the numbers that follow it are the ones that change so 1 is all that was needed. If you cannot see that they made a poor choice that does more to confuse than describe then maybe you should remove your head from your posterior.
" Railing against it is pointless," but railing against my opinion of it being wrong is perfectly worthwhile is it?
