  Sound issue
  
  I find without exception that the order in which I switch the TV and Humax on matters, so it is clearly not coincidence. It is, however, annoying!

  So under what circumstances CAN you get sound from your TV?

  Poor Signal strength
  
  My 2000T records perfectly well at a signal strength of 30%.

  Accessing recorded radio
  
  Dunno. The first thing I'd suggest is he simply duplicate what I did and see what happens - i.e. simply switch to listening to a Radio programme, hit record, wait until it's over and see if the recording is listed.

  Accessing recorded radio
  
  I couldn't resist giving this a go, and have just recorded a Radio 4 programme. It appears in the Video media list, and plays as a video without a picture. The only difference I could determine was that Fast Forward didn't work on the recording but Skip the Scene did.

  Have you looked under Music? Set up FTP and see if there's anything in "My Music".

  My T2 packed up when 11 months old. Had it been 13 months I would have had a fight on to get it replaced. I don't think the issue is quite as clear cut as you make out.

  That's thinking outside the box - literally! How much of your watching, including control thereof, could be done with that set-up from your TV sofa with a remote control?

  Have I made the wrong decision?
  
  One difference between the HDR-Fox T2 and the 200oT is that the latter can copy to NTFS format. I've formatted a USB stick to NTFS and copied a Foxied HD file to it. It comfortably plays on my PC. It's a bit of a faff, and takes a while, but it opens the prospect of having a large USB drive...

  Newb. What do I do?
  
  My Humax said 65 and achieved less than a tenth of that in practice! I'd start with adaptors for router and Humax only. However, before spending any more money I'd be inclined to plug TV and Humax in close to the router and see if that works, and if that doesn't try connecting with ethernet...

  Newb. What do I do?
  
  It's almost certainly a speed/dongle problem. For example, I've found wi-fi FTP to the Humax is very slow. I've just tried streaming a 44min MPEG4 video from Servio to the Humax and, like you, found it paused every few seconds for a few seconds. If I paused play myself for 10 or 15 seconds, to...

  You're welcome. As it happens I don't bother streaming to the Humax. It spends much of its time switched off because of the way it interferes with the rest of my setup. Where Servio really comes into its own is streaming to my Sony Bravia TV. This can be very fussy over the files it chooses to...

  I imagine your PC is not appearing because the 2000T is looking for a media server, not a PC. A Windows Media Player expert may be able to help. Personally, I downloaded the free version of Servio, which the 2000T sees and which works perfectly!

  Newb. What do I do?
  
  I can confirm that the 2000T will play both media streamed from a network DLNA server and media transferred to it via FTP. In respect of the former there's a well-documented glitch that means each time you have to point the 2000T at the network via Settings before it will see it.

  You could also try connecting with a SCART lead rather than HDMI, in case it's a similar HDMI handshake problem to the one from which mine seems to suffer.
