Are you sure you want to spend on an obsolete device?

Humax I see has stopped making the Freeview offerings.
I've been given two Humax boxes. One labelled FOXSAT 6004454 I have no idea what age it is. I suppose it must be possible to drive it skilfully but compared to a little Bush unit, the menus are painfully obscure.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but it's kind of relevant.

Both have sound that's so bad that I can not use them and chat on the internet seems to say this is a common problem with HUMAX.

What is more, this insane trick of putting daft sounds over programs seems much much worse on this system. We've discussed the basic problem on PPRuNe, and it seemed to have got a little better in the last year or so. A few weeks ago it came back with a vengeance. Unusable on FreeSat for me.
