Quality

The set up is easy the quality seems great

I am very satisfied with the results

Anyway with the delay the epg feature is near worthless to me

Im disappointed by the tuners inability to jump to specific frequencies

Price

Ive probably saved the cost of it in installation fees alone

I cannot justify the cost of cable and prefer to use an antenna for viewing overtheair tv signals

Packaging/appearance

And the zoom works fine on the humax

There are many options for connection on both boxes the main difference being that the samsung has dvi out whereas the humax has hdmi out

Competitiveness

Not as good as my humax hfa 100 no problems so far

This tuner has many features such as remote compatability and cable quide access

Yes a bit of a hassle with cost this box 1 star

I bought the tuner at circuit city to watch the olympics in high def
