Ok so I installed Mediahouse & MX Player
MX Player wouldn't work but BS Player does.
The video is good quality but looks like it has scan lines, is that normal?
My bad, I meant interlace lines.
I think that's going to be something to do with the way your device is interpolating the 576 lines of source material onto however many lines your display has.
If you are referring to DLNA streaming, files the display device is incompatible with are not listed. HiDef recordings cannot be streamed to any device unless it supports HDCP (see entry in the Glossary - click), unless you run the custom firmware auto-unprotect package (which is not the same as decryption). See also Things Every... (click) section 5.

Other means to get access to recordings from remote devices via a network connection require either decryption and download by FTP (to play locally), or decryption and access by network share (to play as if locally, but by NAS access). These mechanisms allow playback by a larger range of media players than just those which support DLNA.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Just to make sure I have understood you correctly, I believe therefore that all I should need to do is to run the custom firmware auto-unprotect package (which I am doing, in any case).
However, reading the encryption info in your link, the second bullet point seems to imply that I may be wasting my time anyway trying to stream HiDef recordings - or am I missing something?
A simple error of memory, I knew what I meant - corrected (for "HDCP" read "DTCP"). Both terms are in the Glossary (and have been for a very long time).HDCP is a hdmi copy protection system, it's nothing to do with DLNA. DTCP-IP DLNA certified devices are required for the client and server boxes. The latest Humax pvrs are such devices which is why they can share encrypted content.
