RE: Replace a TIVO with ?

["Gary Tall" <gtcs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I quite like my Humax Freesat box, mostly we use Sky but the Humax
gives
good picture quality and is reliable.



The only thing that annoys me is the cursor keys are a little sluggish both
with the original remote and the pronto and the fact it does not have
discrete power on and off commands. You can get around this by sending 000
to the box and it will turn on and just use its auto switch off function.

With TIVo on borrowed time, I need to find an alternative that 'just works'
with a good WAF.

I'm currently leaning toward a Humax Freesat PVR. With a longer term view
to
implement mythtv backend and XBMC front ends.

Anyone have good / bad things to say about Humax, or able to offer
alternatives ?

Cheers

Stuart
