It can certainly be done (on the Humax and Topfield), though it can be
argues that installing a larger hard disk to the PVR might be a better
solution.

The official method of transfer from the Humax has problems (mainly that
it is very slow) but there is a much better way if one is prepared to
open the machine. I should warn you, though, that the latest Humax
machines have a seal that would be destroyed if you opned it, while
older ones do not.

Humax and Topfield are generally considered the best. I don'y know
anything about the Inverto. You would have to check whether there is
software available for transfer, from that machine as the hard drive may
well not be formatted in a way that a PC can directly recognise.

When I was looking last year I was put off by what seemed some

Humax and Topfield are generally considered the best. I don'y know
anything about the Inverto. You would have to check whether there is
software available for transfer, from that machine as the hard drive may
well not be formatted in a way that a PC can directly recognise.

It can certainly be done (on the Humax and Topfield), though it can be
argues that installing a larger hard disk to the PVR might be a better
solution.

The official method of transfer from the Humax has problems (mainly that
it is very slow) but there is a much better way if one is prepared to
open the machine. I should warn you, though, that the latest Humax
machines have a seal that would be destroyed if you opned it, while
older ones do not.

I am sure the OP finds that very informative.  While you are about it 
could you also explain to him why some of its owners feel the need to be 
quite so evangelical in case it is contagious?  (I would now rather 
invite the Mormons in than most Toppy owners.)

FWIW I looked at both and spoke to friends who have the Topfield before 
opting for the Humax.  Both seem to me good machines.  But I chose on 
objective criteria of what *we* wanted from a PVR.

Because I have had the displeasure of using a Humax, and the pleasure
of using my Toppy with MyStuff installed. Pardon me for speaking from
experience.

The official method of transfer from the Humax has problems (mainly that

machines have a seal that would be destroyed if you opned it, while

Humax and Topfield are generally considered the best. I don'y know
anything about the Inverto. You would have to check whether there is
software available for transfer, from that machine as the hard drive may
well not be formatted in a way that a PC can directly recognise.

When I was looking last year I was put off by what seemed some 
uncertainty about the ability of this to transfer files to a PC.  But 
I'm sure you'd get better and up-to- date advice from

Further research has turned my opinion towards Humax. I will be
looking for the best deals.

I would do a lot more research until your opinions turns towards the
Topfield.

I am sure the OP finds that very informative.  While you are about it 
could you also explain to him why some of its owners feel the need to be 
quite so evangelical in case it is contagious?  (I would now rather 
invite the Mormons in than most Toppy owners.)

FWIW I looked at both and spoke to friends who have the Topfield before 
opting for the Humax.  Both seem to me good machines.  But I chose on 
objective criteria of what *we* wanted from a PVR.

Because I have had the displeasure of using a Humax, and the pleasure
of using my Toppy with MyStuff installed. Pardon me for speaking from
experience.

OK but I am not clear how that helps the OP.  I think it help if, for 
example, you could elaborate on what it was about the PVR9200T that 
displeased you so Norman could weigh it in the balance against other 
factors which may interest him (including price).

Norman: you probably already know "Which?" have reported on PVRs again 
this month.  I have also seen both on display in John Lewis stores but 
not, I think, with the MyStuff add-on.

Might nver happen.

Yes, as a Humax owner, I agree that the Topfield needs researching. But
the final decision depends on a number of factors that people can judge
differently.
