Humax DRT800 DVD-R/RW Recorder/TiVo Series2 DVR Combo
Shoddy product and suspicious return policy
Our first Humax DVR had several defects.  First, it would freeze up several times a day, which means we would have to constantly restart it.  What good is a DVR that doesn't record shows because it crashes constantly?  Second, the DVR didn't work when it was connected to the tv by the serial cable.  We had to use the a/v cable to get a picture on the tv screen.  This means we couldn't record on one channel while watching a different channel.  That functionality was lost.  Third, the remote control didn't work unless you hit the same button several times, and often it would register twice when you hit the button once.  This was really annoying. <br /> <br />Humax sent us a \\"refurbished\\" DVR in exchange for the new DVR that we paid for.  This unit was visibly used, and had the same problem with the serial cable connection (I tried it with two different cables, so I know it was the DVR that was defective).   <br /> <br />Enough is enough, we are returning the second unit and getting our full refund before the 30 days runs out.  Why would Humax replace a brand new DVR with a refurbished DVR and refuse to give even a partial refund?
