Thanks for the explanation - just as well that it is OK to leave the box switched on as it has now started to remain on (blue front light) after completing a scheduled recording !! Recorded a 1 hour programme last night on More 4 from 9pm to 10pm and the box was still switched on at 11.30pm...

Thanks Black Hole How come it lasts longer if it is switched on a lot more ? If it is a very technical answer please be kind !!

Hello A1944 I have followed some of those early threads and done a lot of what is suggested there - with no lasting improvement - the only difference I have in my set up is an external HDD permanently plugged into the USB socket. This is holding all the unwatched recordings from my previous...

No power timers at all set.

Luke FVP is brand new - set up straight from box. My TV is not a smart TV ( Samsung T32E310EW ) and I can't find the CEC equivalent (Anynet+). The only variation in connectivity that I have is that the HDMI port on the TV is shared between the Humax and a Fire TV stick - but they are...

Thanks Luke, Yes, I am on UKTFAE 1.03.53

Hello Meadfoot Auto Power Down is Off

Good Morning All I am a new user of the FVP-5000T and have now got the box installed and connected and it seems to be functioning correctly but please can I have advice on one issue? The box occasionally and randomly seems to switch itself on from standby ( red light on front turns blue ) but...

Thanks to all for your interest and help. I have discovered that the easiest way for me is to transfer the recordings from the 2000T directly onto an external USB drive and then use that drive plugged into the 5000T to either upload them onto the 5000T or view them directly from the drive. As...

I just used an external USB drive as suggested by EEPhil in post #14 When I manage to copy recordings from 2000T to my PC via FileZilla and then transfer them to 5000T using external USB they wont play on PC or 5000T box Yes, that is all true. How exactly do I do that please? Will they then...

Good Afternoon All An update to the thread about my progress. I followed the advice and successfully managed to copy Std recordings from my 2000T onto an external USB drive. I have now got a new 5000T box and am able to download the recordings from the USB to the 5000T. As you all warned, of...

Thanks, Black Hole, for clearing up the "reply" problem - result as above !! How do I find out the size in GB of each recording on my box? Is my library under "media" ? How will I know when a recording for just one item (eg: one film) has finished - or batches of a few, as per your advice in...

Thanks for that EEPhil Speed- What size do you think a 1hour 45min. film is in terms of GBs ? I don't think I am too bothered about fast speeds as I can't really envisage doing a lot of transfers - it is only wanting to save existing recordings if...

Thanks to all for such prompt replies - very kind. Just a couple of queries to clarify please, if I may. -I only do StDef recordings. -"It is likely to be a slow process" - Any ideas as to how slow ? Is the size of the recording to be copied (in GBs) the same going onto the external HDD ...

Good Afternoon All Please can I have some advice? I have a HDR-2000T box which is now 6 years old. It is (fingers crossed!! ) working OK at the moment, but in view of it's age I wonder whether I should be considering a newer model soon and hence my questions:- Can the existing video files be...
