A quick update - I now have an HDR Fox T2 to go alongside my 2000T. The Fox certainly seems better built than the 2000T and you can see where they've done some serious cost-cutting on the new model!
As for streaming, it looks like the 2000T has had its HD protected streaming features removed -...
That's always an option, although I don't think I'd get far. Trouble is they don't explicitly say they support HD streaming anywhere, so I can't claim they've misled me. Bad misinformed advice; yes, but I don't think complaining about that will get anything other than a "sorry". The shop have...
I suppose that's what happens when you make people work from a script and a knowledge base. If it's not in the kb, it's not supported or doesn't exist.
His final response was this:
I asked the guy about the network bug too (you have to go in and out of TV portal before "Network" appears as an...
Thanks - I thought so. I've sent them a snotty reply but I doubt I'll get a sensible answer. Looks like I'll be returning one of the 2000Ts and buying a Fox T2 as a streaming client. Even if it doesn't support HiDef streaming it'll still be cheaper.
Well I've had a response from Humax support...but it's not very helpful! :(
Now I was under the impression that the HDR Fox T2 can share HD recordings between boxes because it supports the right encryption protocol, so is he talking rubbish? Or can it only share certain recordings on certain...
It's a current model F series TV. As I was testing I haven't tried playing a file all the way through so it might get the length wrong - I'd have to check.
A lot of manufacturers seem to be like this. I can hope it gets better, but no guarantees, or take my chance on an HDR FOX T2.
Definitely a bummer :( The 2000T seems to have a network bug too; you can only connect to network media if you load and exit the TV portal first. Until you do, "HDD" is the only option under Media...Storage. Makes streaming Sd content more tedious than it should be!
I've emailed HUMAX to ask...
I've been looking for a new PVR to replace my Media Centre PC, and finally plumped for an HDR-2000T this week. An big reason I chose the Humax was because it can stream recorded content - something the wife has got used to with the PC.
When the 2000T arrived I set it up in the lounge and tried...
