Seems a bit overpriced to me... £349 can get you Sky+ and several months subscription including a lot more HD channels. It doesn't even look that flashy from the outside and 500GB hard drives are dirt cheap.

I hope we get some PCI-E cards under £80 soon...

Yep hugely overpriced & underspecced and too late to the party, this is going to be a flop of epic proportions.

I'm sure Humax won't cede the entire Freeview HD Plus market by over-pricing their offering. If it does not sell the price will come down until it does. It may launch at that price but will likely end up selling for under £300 after a while.

I'm not due to get Freeview HD until 2012 where I live so I've got plenty of time to wait before I need to think about buying a PVR. Humax are typically at the higher end of the market in terms of cost and features. The Humax PVR's are pretty well regarded which may or may not justify a higher cost depending on how important this is to you and how well it compares to other products.

A PVR is something I use every day so I wouldn't just go for the cheapest one I could find. I would want the one with the best features, performance, ease of use and reliability for a reasonable price.
