Onscreen menus a joy to use ; Excellent picture quality ; Decent range of network features

No built-in Wi-Fi ; No 4OD and Demand 5 yet ; Inconsistent EPG layout

The Humax HDR-1000S is a wonderful Freesat PVR, mixing broadcast and on-demand TV content with even more panache than its YouView rival. The Free Time EPG is the highlight, making it easy to find content with its slick, sophisticated onscreen...

Clean, detailed picture ; Great sound ; User-friendly ; Nice integration of catch-up TV

Neither looks nor feels very premium ; Limited on-demand content for now

Smart-looking design and solid build; Free Time EPG works well; media playback capability

No Demand 5 or 4OD yet; TV portal needs more apps; Wi-Fi not built-in; 1TB version only £20 more expensive

Stylish box, great interface and EPG, not too expensive, good picture quality

The new catch-up TV service from Freesat moves the service forward significantly, and we like the EPG and general ease of use. It's still lagging behind YouView though, and we'd definitely recommend the Freeview option over Freesat if you can get good...

Good quality hd and sd the only way to watch TV in Spain
