Normal list price about £250 from amazon
Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation
But I bought one of these 'graded' versions direct from Humax - absolutely perfect and effectively 'new'

It will also access BBC iPlayer if you connect it to the internet - works very well for me :)

I agree with the previous two answers. I have a Humax Fox T2 HD freeview box and it's a joy to use. It also has a rather cool undocumented feature – you can record two different channels and watch a third channel at the same time as long as the two channels you're recording are being broadcast on the same multichannel (MUX). It's like having three tuners in one box!

Have a look at the MUX column. For example, both ITV and Channel 4 are on MUX channel 2. So you could record a programme at (say) 9:00pm on ITV and another programme at the same time on Channel 4 – doing so would only use one of the two 'tuners' in the Humax. You could then watch any other channel you like.
I hope I've explained that all right.
