Humax YouView Remote Control for DTR-T1000/DTR-1010

Bought one of these to replace an original 18 mths ago. Worked perfectly very happy with it until couple of weeks ago some liquid spilled on it and may have go into it. It gradually got more and more temperamental. Coincidence or not, I just ordered another and peace and harmony is restored.

Great remote, clear easy to use buttons good value for money and compatible with the humax digibox

After a disaster with a different replacement Humax remote, I tried this one. Good news, it works. Bad news, it isn't a genuine Humax remote, and it has different programming instructions to get it to work with the TV as well as the YouView box.My particular remote came with no cover for the battery compartment. I didn't bother to seek a replacement, because I still had the really bad remote that I tried first. Fortunately, the cover from that one fitted this one. This is ironic, as the genuine Humax remote has the battery cover attached with a flexible link, so it can't be lost.This remote comes with instructions for coding it to the TV. It uses a 4 digit TV code instead of the original Humax 3 digit code, and the button sequence for programming is different, but it works.The build quality is not as good as the original Humax control, but better than the poor one I tried first. The buttons don't get stuck in when you press them.Since the original Humax remote had stopped working properly on some buttons, this is an improvement, and I now have full control of my YouView box again, so for me, it is worth the money.As far as I can tell, you can't get a genuine Humax remote any more, except with the YouView box itself.

We bought this to replace our remote which was no longer working. So far this is working really well, just like our previous one did when it was brand new.

Great product and great delivery. I am a very happy customer. Many thanks.

This is my third control, the controller has had a known fault whereby one or more of the regularly pressed buttons ceases to work. |Either they have now fixed the fault or I have got an above average one. Either way I'm very happy as it is still working perfectly.One thing to note is that the price of the remote fluctuates significantly anywhere from £14 up to £32.

Seemed OK at first but after a few weeks use the buttons don't perform. The PVR light is very dim indicating poor quality. You have to continuously press the buttons until it decides it wants to do anything, very frustrating. I believe this is an original product but that's not saying much as this was a replacement for the one that came with the PVR and that one died after 18 months of moderate use. I have never had to replace a remote control for any product through normal use without it lasting at least 5 years before so I think the bottom line is, Humax remote controls are generally very poor quality.

I bought this hoping it would be a genuine replacement control, but like every other one I've tried, it is simply a cheap chinese knock-off of the original Humax controller. It is plasticky, creaks loudly whenever you press a button, and generally feels tacky and badly made. Based on experience, it will probably last a year or two before breaking. (Hence why I have to keep ordering new ones.)That said, it does the job, works perfectly well with my Humax DVR, and after a while you forget what it's like to handle a remote control that doesn't feel like it was glued together from broken pieces of kids' toys and empty crisp packets.Why it's not possible to simply buy a genuine Humax replacement, I don't know. But given that it does appear to be impossible, this is probably your best option. Just don't make the mistake of paying more than a bare minimum for it - they are all the exact same product, just at a variety of price points.
