As Humax Australia managing director Bryce Russell says, “With Humax consumers now have access to the perfect blend of advanced technology and ease of use to replace their old and complicated VCRs. Australians will never watch live TV again once they start using their Humax PVR.”

Korean made Humax became the No.1 best-selling PVR in the UK just two years after its launch, is the top choice of PVR in Germany and the fifth best-selling brand internationally.

The first model to go on sale in Australia is the Humax HDR 7500T, available with either a 500GB or 1TB hard-drive. The 1TB enables the recording of up to 600 hours of programs whilst the 500GB allows the recording of up to 300 hours.

Humax is the only PVR to fully integrate the premium IceTV Electronic Program Guide (EPG), allowing full use of Humax PVR features such as genre and keyword search. This means programming your PVR to automatically record movies featuring your favourite stars, all your football teams’ games or specific kinds of shows such as cookery or gardening.

Additionally, users can ‘take control’ even when they’re not at home with IceTV’s remote programming feature. Easy, convenient and in total control of your recording schedule via a Smartphone, PC or Tablet device, the combination of a Humax PVR with IceTV creates a unique and lifestyle enhancing viewing experience. As a special introductory offer, a free three month trial of IceTV is available for all Humax customers, as well as an exclusive lifetime service fee for each Humax PVR.

While Humax will be available via the IceTV website, discussions with several retailers are continuing. Retravision in Western Australia is the first of these to come on board. Trading associations have also been finalised with NAS Australia and Sciteq, providing Humax PVRs through their national networks of specialist installers of digital TV, MATV and satellite systems.

Humax is highly regarded among industry experts and the quality of the product makes it the preferred choice for many professional and custom installers.

Key product features include:
