"If you have a look on the Humax forums you'll see that there are not a lot of positive things are said about any of their products"
In my experience, people are much more likely to post on forums when they have problems, rather than to say that their equipment or service is working OK.
For balance:
As mentioned by @gomezz in post #2, I can also recommend the Humax HDR-Fox T2. I bought ours in 2012, (when Comet were closing down) - it is still in daily use. A bit slow by modern standards I agree, and none of the apps work any more, but as a PVR I can't fault it.
