2. Using Humax FVP-5000T with Samsung QLED TV

3. Recorded programmes disappeared on 5000T
  
  Mine did that. It's a hard drive error. You might be able to save it by formatting which can only be done with a factory reset unfortunately. In my case it only lasted a few days before it did it again, and again, and again. I tried 2 replacement drives without success, flogged it in eBay as a...

9. Why does the episode blurb and number disappear?
  
  Nope. The episode blurb and number was there (so it DID exist) for a second, but then changes. Never noticed this before so I guess it must be a bug.

11. New 5000T stuck in standby
  
  Humax 5000 is the only recorder with 3 tuners that can record 4 channels and watch another. Not sure why other manufacturers don't fit 3/4 tuners for the extra £5 each but it totally precludes me from buying anything else despite its crappy interface and lack of support
