we used it in France...we got anything from 14 -24 months per box.....
had a couple that went bad within warrenty.....Argos always wanted to repair not replace...
gave up in the end......
is there anything else similar....
I had a Humax HD Freesat box and a capacitor failed in the power supply. I fitted a new one and a couple of days later it failed again. Threw it in the bin.I had a Humax PVR and found it great with one of the nicest menus I've used - shame it died so I lost all my recordings.
A quick look on Google says Humax have/had a problem with capacitors failing and making the machine useless, hence Humax is off the list of products I'll buy in future.
