Humax Sat devices - recommended?

[TobyR]

I've had my Humax 9200T for just over two years and it looks like it is on it's way out - I've had to reformat it twice in the last 8 weeks. As such I'm looking to replace it, and I'm looking at either a Freesat PVR or possibly Sky +. Are the Humax freesat boxes reliable, or are they too new to be able to judge properly? Any other advice to help me make my decision? Thanks for your thoughts.

My foxsat-hdr has worked flawlessly since new last November. A few have reported problems but it's impossible to say what percentage of total sold have had problems. There's a number of known bugs that hopefully will be ironed out shortly with a new firmware release.
