Sorry I’m late back to this thread.
We have the Humax 1100S, terabyte model, in white. It’s very easy to set up and use and has YouTube and Netflix apps built in, alongside iPlayer, stv player and Demand 5. All 4 is presently missing because channel 4 are having a carriage dispute with Freesat. I expect it will return eventually.
On the BBC channels you can tune to a programme and, if it’s halfway through, choose to start watching it from the start even if you haven’t been recording it. It does this by automatically accessing the iPlayer. Very useful.
The first box we had, we had to return after a month because it stopped responding to its remote. Amazon refunded it no quibble (they couldn’t automatically replace as it was a “fulfilled by” purchase). We ordered another one and it’s been fine.
It is a far better machine than the Echostar we had previously, which used to lock up at random every couple of weeks for no apparent reason, requiring a hard reboot via the wall socket.
