Excellent picture and some great features.
The first PVR I had was a Humax. After a couple of years it refused to fill the EPG further than 2 or 3 days ahead. My daughter also had a similar Humax and this developed the same problem. So I bought a Panasonic. This has served us well for about 7 years. Now its started to play up, freezing, not recording the odd item etc. So I have repaced it with this Panasonic HWT250 PVR.
The picture is excellent and it retains many of the features of my previous PVR. You can also boost the amount of hours of recording with EP if thats important to you. Quick Start really means that and the EPG fills up quickly. However, I have found the Freeview Play takes a few seconds to load. Also, you can list your favourites on the TV Guide but its not as straightforward to set up as on the previous PVR.
I would recommend this PVR because it has some great features and is a reliable brand. As always Richer Sounds service was excellent and a 6 year guarantee for 10% of the price was a no-brainer.

Pile of steaming garbage
Please note: this is NOT a review of richer sounds as they are always excellent - Chester branch - but do your research 100 times before thinking of buying this Panasonic pile of poo. I decided to buy this off my own bat, not from any recommendations or advice. Shouldn’t have bothered - it’s a dreadful thing. Cannot understand any reviews higher than 1 star. if it turns on at all you’d be lucky, and if it does you’re greeted by dreadful slow clunky menus, random error messages every now and then and a recording system that barely works. Have a great Panasonic G10 telly, but this thing is awful. Or I must have a really dodgy example. Avoid like Covid-19.

Easy to use; intuitive
Really easy to set up; parental lock if you choose to use it. The guide is a bit slow to load but it’s not that slow!
Very pleased with it.

Good well made if not the best technically
I bought this 2 weeks ago in fact I swapped it out from a humax 5000t. I had the humax 3 weeks but it was too noisy with a constant hum in my room from the box. The guys at richer sounds exchanged it for me and the Panasonic is quieter but not as modern in its workings as the humax. The humax is a good box it Just needs to be made better. Overall for £230 it’s ok in its working and it will do a job just wish they had upped the spec to reflect 2020. Just felt limited in my choices.

Great Bit of Kit
We bought this to replace an earlier Panasonic PVR which is still going strong after 8 years but with its age we thought we'd better have a new one.
Incredibly easy to set up and has some great features like being able to programme from a smartphone. Very compact and unobtrusive. Well pleased!

This was to replace my few months old Humax
The Panasonic has a far clearer Guide has a very good picture and sound has indicator
lights on its front face showing when it is ON and when its RECORDING as it should
be as opposed to the Humax and frankly as of now I am delighted with the 250 EB and
would certainly recommend it even though it is dearer than the Humax and can only
record 2" stations at a time

Solid reliable design, best out there?
I bought this a couple of weeks back to replace a new Humax box that just could not deliver 'catch up' TV. Ironically, the Humax was a replacement for my original (but old) DMRHWT250EB that had developed a fault.
The 'Panny' uses older technology than the Humax, but is clearly engineered much better.
The 'Panny' cannot record up to four channels like the Humax which is a bit of a let down, but it is far more reliable.
Maybe it's time for Panasonic to develop a successor to the old DMRHWT250EB ?
If they do, I would be VERY interested in one.
Yes the 'Panny' has a few minor niggles, but (IMHO) is the best set top box available......For now.
