Your point is? Have you looked over the other forums, where grumbles about the FVP4000 are nothing short of rife?
As regards eBay, can you somehow magically distinguish between a 'new' FVP4000 unit on eBay, and one which is a customer return? If so, how? Are you not aware many retailers use...
I appreciate this, but do you think that all that technical bumpf should really, or remotely even fairly, be on the minds of elderly consumers in their eighties who were told it would be a 'plug n' play' like viewing & recording solution?
This just compounds what I've said above about...
Humax have supplied another FVP4000T, following a discussion with the head of customer services.
I've connected it and in spite of deactivating standby mode and all 'off' timers, as soon as the source HDMi connection is changed on the television the set will not recognise the Humax upon...
I realise there's already a thread of a similar vein, but I'm not concerned with standby, and/or odd actions regarding wake/standby. I've not been able to get that far! I'm merely concerned with the interaction, or lack of it, between the FVP4000 units and certain modern Smart TV's.
In short...
I believe that a PC which runs nothing bar PVR software, and on hardware supported by Linux, should be able to take advantage of Myth TV software (just about the best out there, but you may want to grab a Linux distro' that includes it rather than end up using command line approach to setting...
I'm going to be reading through the material on the HDR-FOX links before I decide anything as final. Thanks again for the information.
The PC solution is expensive in truth, but infinitely more upgradeable as technology changes. Just need to carefully choose the right PVR software to run on it.
With a USB radio controlled remote control (not IR) you can wake/boot/ shutdown the whole thing as well as access all the settings, choosing channels, displaying EPG, selecting recordings, etc. It's also fairly simple to set the PVR software to launch at startup so that you don't actually see a...
Thanks for the links guys, much appreciated.
I'm left feeling awfully un-confident that Humax have come on as far as I'd hoped in the 6/7 years since I bought my 9200T... there still seem to be so many bugs!
As a simple Joe Blow who just wants to able to share content from PC > TV (through...
Ok thanks. This sounds like a right mess with the DRM and Hummy firmware, somewhat disappointing.
What about the custom FW on the HDR-FOX units, does that overcome these same issues?
I've had a 9200T for years, I live in the footprint of two transmitters, which has caused it's fair share of fun - but my 9200T is no longer keeping up with my needs, and I wanted something which could interact with my ethernet network and Win Seven O/S.
The HDR2000T looked ideal, and I...
I'll have a good look, thank you.
Meanwhile I got the necessary cables out of mothballs, and have reflashed the 9200T. No immediate noticeable differences, but it was running quite ancient firmware.
Thank you again. I was looking at the 'managers specials' on the Humax site, but the 1Tb units aren't available at present, and having just forked out for a smart LG TV and soundbar I'm getting slightly hampered on the available budget remaining! Will reflash the 9200T and see how it goes. If it...
Thank you. I have sent you my email address.
Didn't realise that recordings would be limited to 512, but I may try and work out if I could extend the HDD interface 'out of the box' to work direct with a caddy rather than keep it on an internal drive - then I can transfer them to my NAS...
Hi Guys,
Been reading this thread and I've got an ailing 9200T (320Gb) unit which must be six years old and has probably never been updated. Sometimes it locks up when deleting a recording and invariably, after a power cycle, new recordings are not visible in the Hummy interface.
Taking off...
