Considering its dirt-cheap price tag, the PVR-9150T is not a bad offering at all, CNET reckon. It lacks an HDMI output as well as stereo audio out and the user interface is blockish and ugly, but …

More information at: test (Stiftung Warentest), issue 9/2010 Small box, sharp pictures Satellite and cable receivers: differences in terms of features and operation are what defines whether these HD receivers belong to the luxury or the mid range. They all cost between 110 and 645 euros. In test: 13 digital set-top boxes for HDTV were tested. Among those devices tested were 3 satellite receivers with twin receivers and an internal hard drive, 7 satellite receivers without an internal hard drive, as well as 3 cable receivers without an internal hard drive. The test team also looked at 2 models with a similar build. The verdict: 7 rated “good” and 6 “satisfactory”. Test criteria were picture (visual test SDTV/ HDTV), sensitivity, sound (audio test/ operating noise, image and sound synchronicity), handling (operation via remote control/ on the device itself, combination with an external recorder, channel zapping/ delay after switching on from stand-by mode ...) environment (total energy usage/ energy usage in stand-by, build quality) and versatility. If the device’s handling was deemed “acceptable”, the overall score could only be one mark higher. If environmental characteristics were “acceptable”, the overall rating was depreciated by half a mark. The PDF, which is available to download, also contains a guidebook about digital TV reception entitled “The End of Analogue” (In German).

“A lot of features for a lot of money. At 650 euros, the Humax iCord HD+ is a lot more expensive than a standard entry-level model without a recording function. It would, however, be unfair to lump

More information at: TrustedReviews, 3/2008 Humax PVR-9200T Personal Video Recorder The Humax PVR-9200T has long been regarded as the best Freeview personal video recorder money can buy, offering an unbeatable combination of features, user-friendliness and picture quality. But because it was launched long before the Freeview Playback initiative was brought into play, this superb digital recorder was in danger of being usurped by newer, cheaper and more talented models. So to bring it bang up to date, Humax released a software update earlier this year which adds the full range of ‘Group 2' Freeview Playback features to the unit's already impressive recording arsenal. So with these new talents in mind, combined with the fact that we've never featured it before, we thought it was time to take a long overdue look. … to review

Humax Duovisio PVR-9200T

Freeview (DVB-T); Hard Drive; Newest review: 8/2007

"Overall, you wouldn't be disappointed to own one of these Humax PVRs. The only problem is you might be disappointed to discover you can get better for less."

More information at: CNET.co.uk, 7/2007 Humax PVR-9200TB and 9200TS You might be thinking, 'hold on, the Humax 9200 isn't a new PVR', and you would be right -- it isn't. Humax, however, has discontinued the 9200T and replaced it with two new models known as the 9200TB and 9200TS. The change in model number doesn't just refer to the colour of the machine, though -- Humax has also made some other changes, which allow the new 9200 models to be labelled as Freeview Playback PVRs. The good news is that Humax hasn't changed the winning formula that made the 9200T so popular, but it has made some nice changes to improve the machine. Owners of the existing 9200T will be pleased to hear that they can access all the new features by downloading a software update. … to review

A review of the HDTV Sat receiver Humax iCord HD+ - a real winner for the World Cup Player.de 6/2010 - After the Winter Olympic Games in February, we’re now getting ready for the next big sporting event of the year which starts in exactly one week - the World Cup.
