Samsung 500gb HDR v Humax 500GB HDR

Anybody have any advice on which of the above to choose for Freesat viewing?

I've heard very good things about the Humax, but the new model is coming our next month and allows you to record 2 channels while watching a 3rd, i'd wait till then and see what that one is like

Sugar! I just ordered the Samsung this morning - mainly due to the price.

Do you know if it's possible to record 2 channels at once on the Samsung? There's plenty of info saying record one channel and watch another but nothing on whether 2 channels can be recorded at the same time the way my Sky+ box does.

Thanks - wish I had known about the new Humax coming out - mind you I dare say it will be quite a bit dearer than the current models.

Not sure about the Samsung recording, i'm sure the full specs are on their site though.
The Humax new model will be £279.99 so yes it's more expensive
