Humax HDR-7500T Tests (Heimkino Systeme)

Humax's HDR-7500T is a solid performer if you're after a PVR, but for ease of use it's still got a long way to go to unseat TiVo.

Dual tuners ; iView and DLNA capability ; Ad-skipping

Remote is poorly laid out ; Significantly less function unless you pay for IceTV ; Quirky DLNA performance

The HDR-7500T is a decent dual-channel PVR with in-built DLNA and at least a smattering of apps that could grow into a larger library over time — but we can only review what's placed in front of us, not what could be. There's no shortage of competing...

Humax's first Australian PVR has plenty of bells and whistles, plus a few tricks to help it stand out from the crowd.

Ad-skipping; IceTV; iView; DLNA

Limited storage management; no Samba

iView and DLNA, along with IceTV compatibility, earn Humax’s HDR-7500T automatic entry into the shortlist for Australian PVR shoppers. But if you’re after a PVR which ‘just works’, weigh up IceTV devices against the TiVo and Foxtel iQ2.
