From TRCS I bought the cheaper "replacement".

I didn't say they didn't work; they do - eventually! At first the 'double press' was just a bit irritating, but situations like needing a quick 'mute' 'cos there's an incoming phone call make the irritation more intense, and it's now got to the level that the automatic Tyke response of "'ow...

I actually bought two from "Remote Control Shop" ( I have two Humax boxes for different TVs) and although I only needed to replace one remote control, I thought buying a (relatively) cheap spare would be a good idea. Both remotes have the same 'press twice' problem, so I think 'caveat emptor'...

My dog 'ate' my FVP-500T remote control, so I had to buy a replacement (remote control, not dog!) which I bought from Remote Controls Shop TW Electronics (Newbury) Ltd. It works, but I have to press any 'control' buttons twice (not the numbers or the on-off button), which is irritating. I tried...

Does anyone know if Amazon's Alexa can control an FVP500T? There seem to be a very few discussions on this subject, and those seem to be filled with 'if's and 'but's. Can anyone give a definitive answer, and if the answer is yes, an idiot's guide (I am that idiot!) to how to do it?

Ever tried to platt fog?

Still seems silly. All I'm trying to do is move programmes I've legally recorded from one box I own to another box I own (or soon will). The concept of piracy may seem to be obvious, and is probably outside the scope of this forum, but as an example I record programmes, and my wife watches them...

So, if you turn on Network Server on the FVP and on the Windows PC use Explorer to access the networked FVP, you can upload the programmes to the PC. That gets the programmes 'secured'. To view the programmes on a different Humax box, copy however many of the programmes you want to view as will...

Install VLC on the Aura? Admittedly I haven't got it yet, but I assume from the manual that so long as I have a Google account I can download and install VLC on the Humax. I seem to remember that when I copied my recordings to my PC, the removal of encryption was mentioned, so presumably the new...

Hi... I have an FVP-5000T and am waiting for a 2TB Aura to be delivered. I'm happy with th FVP, but it's playing up from time to time, so it's time for a replacement before it gives up the ghost completely! I have some recorded programmes on the FVP which I'd like to copy to the new Aura (when...
