Rating: - When it works, it works very well...
When we first got TiVo on the Humax unit I was so excited to be able to ditch my VCR and all that worry about programs rescheduling etc. But my excitement quickly cooled when time and time again, the record to DVD function didn't work. "Internal error" to me meant something was wrong with the unit so I sent it back to Humax (with a $400 hold on my credit card waiting for the replacement). This was three days into my TiVo membership. Same problem occurred with second unit. Returned that one. Finally, ... Read More

Purchased DRT400 in December 2005, within 9 months the unit failed. It was within the warranty period and we went through the same process described by other reviewers, charge to your credit card, returned the defective box, and received a REFURBISHED unit for $50. The refurbished unit failed within the first 2 weeks. Received second refurbished unit and it failed the first day. At this point, we demanded that we receive a NEW unit but Humax sent another refurbished unit. We refused delivery from ... Read More
Rating: - DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!
I have had a Sony 3000 Tivo since 2002 and decided to buy this unit because I could burn DVDs on it. After paying 400 for the unit, and 300 for Tivo lifetime service I was happy because things were working great, until I started having problems with the DVD burner. I was pretty happy because I was still under warrenty and after paying 50 dollars for a refurbished unit I was back in business - although it was inconvienent to be without the TIVO for weeks for them to turn it around, but the customer service ...

Rating: - Bad quality - really bad customer support
This gets one star because there is no lower ranking. Don't buy a Humax product unless you like paying new prices for used, rebuilt junk. Their new unit comes not working out of the box. The company sends you a rebuilt, used unit to replace your new unit that didn't work. When you object to paying new prices for used equipment, they just blow you off. Too much hassle. This company can't last long.
Rating: - Still waiting for my box....
Bought this in October as an early Christmas gift. I activated lifetime Tivo in mid-November. I went to install it and after 5 hours on the phone with tech support (they do get 5 stars for being there 24 hours a day), they finally had me send it back. They wanted me to give them my credit card info so they could send out a new one the next day, or I could send in my defective one and once they got it, they would send out a new one "within 24 hours". I decided to opt for sending back without my credit card ... Read More
