I’m still very happy with the Humax unit. Now, the initial excitement is over and the day-to-day niggles kick in.

I have now received two software updates from Humax in less than a week, probably a sign that the unit has been rushed a little to meet launch dates. Most of my concerns remain related to the lack of decent regional selection of the channels.

I live in West Sussex and expected that after I input my postcode I would be given BBC1 South and ITV1 Meridian. It seems I’m actually stuck with BBC1 London and ITV1 Central for now as the regional channel selection just does not work.

Using the free to air (non-freesat) mode of the box allows me to select any regional broadcast I want but I cannot have this channel flexibility AND full 7 day (plus) EPG access at teh same time.

Humax seem to be monitoring the user forums on digital spy quite closely and do genuinely seem to be taking the early feedback on board – another reason I’m happy to have chosen Humax.
