  "Enable Content Sharing" keeps resetting to off
  
  I think it is quite a common problem. I think the boot_settings package has an option to keep content sharing on.

  REMOTE RECORDING/SCHEDULING (LIVE TV APP or myHUMAX WEBSITE) & DLNA only in SD via WMP or VLC pnp?
  
  The FVP-5000T and the Aura both have three tuners. With the Aura you can simultaneously record four channels and (subject to some restrictions) watch a fifth live. There have been recent new releases of the Aura app for both Android and MacOS and I think most people are reasonably satisfied it...

  I suspect your obsolete product suggestion is the most likely answer. It is protected by the HDCP protocol; does the Samsung support the same or higher version of HDCP as the FVP? My recollection is that another FVP will play the HD content. It is the HDCP protocol in play again. One user...
