Recommend a PVR freeview box

[Dan.m]

I need to purchase a recordable freeview box for my mother. Looking at the Humax PVR9300T or TVonics DTR Z250. Any suggestions.

Get the Humax 9200 if you still can. Bargain, and fab.

Thanks. It is in Comet for 119. I have heard the 9300 has a noisy operation. Is it the same for the 9200?

Anybody got an opinion on the TVonics Z250

the 9300 was noisy, but was fixed with a firmware update.

If i buy a 9300 is it likely to have the update. Are you happy with it?

Thanks Dave

I'm sitting in a kitchen with a fridge, a fishtank and a 9200, and the Humax is the quietest.......

I should imagine they're now shipped with the update,but if not it's available o.t.a by doing a manual update anyway.

I am/was happy with it yes, but to be fair is rarely used now in favour of the Foxsat HDR.
