Dolby Digital audio output with digital Teletext MHEG5

Customer Review: Excellent set up box
I bought for my dad to replace poor Bush smaller freeview and this Humax set up is so easy to installation, I just put the plug and switced on as it set up itself and picked up all channels (no need to use Booster), pictures are excellent, no blocks or anything, it so smooth and colouful also 8-day listing as well, when switch off then you see the clock on the LCD.

Customer Review: my second and very much better choice this time
This box, while not really looking ‘high tech’, is full of extra features, making viewing and programme tracking a real pleasure. Also the epg feature is excellent. Well done, Humax.

Customer Review: Fantastic
I’ve been looking around for a large screen for ages and finally decided on this one and haven’t regretted my decision once. The picture quality is superb, colours are deep and rich and it gives an excellent response on all the DVD’s I’ve watched so far (Apocalipto looks simply stunning). Sound is good, maybe not as sharp as some I’ve heard but this is not an issue if, like me, you are going to be using a separate amp. If you are trying to decide whether to go for this or maybe a Sony Bravia I would say the Sony does have a “slight” edge (and I mean slight) but it is nowehere near worth the extra ?800-900 you’d need to shell out for one. Definately the best buy I’ve made this year.
