Old favorite but worth another posting, all these boxes come with 1 years warranty and look as new, come with new accessories and full instructions.
I have a HB-1000S Freesat box for £39 and it is absolutely brilliant with full on demand and Netflix access.
Freeview boxes start from £67.50 and Freesat boxes start at £39 with £7 delivery. Bargain City

You can compare Freeview and Freesat channels here
Seems quite expensive for a 1TB Freeview for £139 which is a refurb.
As prices of TV's are falling faster than a dead pigeon from the sky, why are set top boxes going up in price instead of falling too ??

Has anybody bought one of these in the past?
Do they last?

Yepp, I have an HB-1000S and an HDR-1000S, both from HumaxDirect. They replaced a couple of Freesat-HDRs that I bought in 2008 which were getting a little slow.

Bought two freeview boxes at Christmas, had to return both. They kept missing recordings due to signal loss (tv & other freeview boxes ok) and one suffered from an annoying vibration rattle noise linked to hdd activity.

Bought a refurb box from humax direct 2 years ago. Looked like a brand new unopened box and contents. No problems with it. :-)

any Humax owners out there - I have a HDR Fox Recorder - it places series recording in folders akin to a Windows PC. The folders can be moved, renamed & copied to USB. - can anyone anyone tell me of a later Humax version that does the same thing?

You certainly can't get the same flexibility I had with the hacked firmware on my HDRs
