You can also add padding to recordings, so they can start earlier and finish later, just in case the network doesn't honour its scheduled times. It comes with a three month trial in the box. The Humax also supports IceTV's IceGuide, which is more comprehensive and allows you to set recordings remotely through the Internet. You have the option of recording a program once, or recording the whole series. You might have to visit each channel first in order for the guide to get populated first. You can record a program simply by selecting it from the grid pattern of shows. In the past, guide information used to be restricted to 'now and next' information, but now you can get show listings for pretty much 24 hours. Recordings can be initiated through the TV guide (simply press the 'guide' button on the remote to bring it up), which shows most of the programs for the day. It's not as advanced as the Topfield TRF-2400 Masterpiece HD PVR in this respect, which allows you to record up to four channels at once (from two services), but it's a rare day to have so many record-worthy shows on at the same time. There are two digital tuners in the HDR-7500T that allow you to record up to two channels at the same time, and you can also play back a recording while you do this. A concealed USB 2.0 port can be found on the front, along with volume and channel buttons. On the rear is where most the device's connections reside: one TV antenna input, HDMI output, Component output, Composite output, analogue audio output, optical audio output, USB 2.0 and Ethernet. A ring of light around the central power button shows you the player's status (blue when operating, red when recording and amber when in stand-by) and there is an information screen just to the left of it.
It's a stylish and relatively well built digital set-top box and PVR, and it ships with a large and reasonably easy-to-grasp remote control - both in terms of size and key layout. Not only that, it will play content from USB hard drives and can even allow you to transfer recorded files onto external hard drives. It's a jack-of-all-trades set-top box and PVR device that allows you to watch and record free-to-air digital TV, as well as access content from YouTube and iView, and it can also stream content from servers on your network. The Humax HDR-7500T is well worth your consideration if you're a TV tragic and video hoarder.
