The latest is Humax, a Korean company that made its fortune as a contract manufacturer for better-known labels such as Samsung. Humax--no relation to computer peripheral maker Umax--has chosen to introduce its brand to the North American market with some compelling TiVo models. Chief among them is the T2500, which has a 300-hour maximum recording capacity, the largest currently available.
