Duration of ownership: 60 Days
Strengths: Cheap, good look design, simple to use
Weaknesses:The HFA100s don't work !
Overall Evaluation: I bought two HFA100 units . They died after one month . 1- No picture when you turn the unit on . You have to power off and on by unplug the core. The remote control did not work at the time . 2- If you scan the channel, it die (freeze) then you have to unplug the power and plug it back . 3- I spoke with the technical support, they admitted that the units are bad . I return to the seller one unit (buy.com). Another unit is over 30 days old, so HUMAX will replace the new unit. However, I call HUMAX today, they said "Back order, you have to wait" . My suggestion is : Don't buy this HFA100 now .

Strengths: Great price point, easy to use menus and setup. On screen guide (like satelite or digital cable).
Weaknesses:Changing channels is a littls slow.
Overall Evaluation: This receiver was very easy to setup and connect to both my home theater system (via optical cable) and to my HDTV (via HDMI). Using HDMI keeps the signal digital to the TV as well as allowing the TV to select the optimal resolution for displaying the content. I just had to plug it in and let it search for channels. Highly recommended.

Duration of ownership: 8 Weeks
Strengths: Good clear picture and user interface
Weaknesses:Freezes many times using HDMI cable
Overall Evaluation: I think that the manufacturers needed to do a little more work on this one. The freezing problem is annoying because it's impossible to get the darn thing working again unless one unplugs it for a period of time and then plugs it back on. When the unit feels like working it does a good job. Buyer beware, however. I would look elsewhere, unless I were willing to work out the kinks.
