humax tivo works great . this humax tivo has all the same functionality as a regular tivo (as far as i know). it works flawlessly. i installed a wireless usb adapter so that i could hook it up to my network and it worked without a problem. i did need a phone line to set it up initially, but this isn't usually a problem for most people. there is no noise coming from the machine and it isn't cheap at all. it appears very solid and i am really glad i bought it.

DVR Review . Simple to use. Did not realize this unit did not have a DVD burner. Otherwise a very nice DVR.
Humax T800 80-hour Digital Video Recorder with TiVo Reviews
would like input from other owners . I have two of these units, bought about a year apart, set up on completely different televisions and systems.
BOTH of them appear to create vertical lines on the screen, especially evident in red backgrounds.
Anyone else have this issue? My old Sony Tivo never did this, and the lines aren't there at all with anything else I show on the TVs - cable or satellite direct, or DVDs with a different player (I never use the Humax DVD except to burn discs).
Kinda pissed about it because one of the Humax boxes has my lifetime subscription!

Humax T800 80-hour Digital Video Recorder with TiVo Opinions
There are two versions of this TiVo . Evidently, TiVo got Humax (a Korean company) started in introducing their TiVo by manufacturing them first on the same assembly line. These are marked "Made in Mexico."
On a receint visit to Circuit City, I saw four boxed examples of this TiVo on the shelf. Two were marked "Made in Mexico" and two were marked, "Made in China." All of the displays were marked "Made in Mexico."
The one that I received directly from TiVo is marked "Made in Mexico." It appears to be of the same exact quality as the TiVo branded machine that I have owned for over one year. Except for the face plate, color of the case and a the color of the screen backgrounds and the inclusion of Humax on a few of the displays, it is nearly identical to the TiVo branded unit.
I don't know if the ones marked "Made in China" are of the same quality or if they will continue making them on the regular TiVo plant in Mexico. But, be aware that there are two versions with different UPC codes.

Cons Review
Image quality is very poor....... . Where do I start? first off....I have 3 tivo's, two regular and this humax....when i first had the humax hooked up, i noticed the picture looked almost like it was breaking up, it was on a CRT TV and hooked up using an s-video so i blamed the problem on this. in the mean time i bought a 32" LCD, this time i hooked up the humax using the RGB component cables thinking it would work going all digital....BUT, this did no good either. i used every image quality setting available, all this did was to increase the file size of the recording and reduce the burning size of the DVD. this is not my primary DVD player, so i didn't have the drive failure like the others. also, mine is one of the "made in mexico" tivo's, the reason i know this is because i replaced the original HD as soon i got it for a larger drive, btw, it was a "maxtor" (good named brand drive). over all, this is a piece of carp, don't buy it.....it's no wonder tivo stopped selling it!
Breaks . The tivo part still works but the first thing that broke was the dvd burning part. Then 4 months later the dvd stopped playing dvds. Get a normal Tivo. They are grea this company is very poor. I will never buy a Humax anything ever again. You can buy a 30 dollar dvd player at best buy that will last years. Humax is expensive and didn't last 5 months.
Get the official TiVo! . The Humax T800 is a poor clone of the official TiVo box, and costs three times as much! It's from a no-name company that may not be around a few months from now. The machine is noisy and makes you worry about whether the hard drive will go south any second. Go with the real TiVo box which is much better and cheaper.
