    As far as I know, the 5000T, in common with most (if not all) PVRs, can only record things from its own tuners, not from any external source (if that is what you hoped to do).

    Thanks for that, tbh the iptv vod and series links I get are spot on and live tv is great quality so I don’t think I’ve made a mistake getting a 5000 as recording terrestrial is a plus and the on demand is good nowadays

    Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, and would seek your advice, please.
    I have a FVP-5000T with a RM-L08 remote, both about 12-18 months old. Two questions:-
    (1) I currently have slow-speed broadband fed to the device by a cable from the house's telephone cabling. In a few days time, I am having a fibre-cable high-speed broadband service installed, newly fibre-cabled to a router in the middle of the house, high up on the ground floor in order to reach all parts of the house via its wi-fi. Can I use a "dongle" or some such similar device plugged into my 5000T to enable it to receive broadband via wi-fi from the newly installed router?

    (2) Can I control the unit remotely using an app on my mobile phone, e.g. set up recordings, NOT from within the vicinity of my house's wi-fi, by instead over long distances across the country using my mobile signal?

    Thanks, Ian.

    Certainly when the boxes were launched that functionality was available. I have seen reports that it is currently a bit flaky but no harm in trying.

    The only app currently available on the PlayStore is the Aura app.
    The app that worked for the 4000t/5000t disappeared a couple of months ago. Humax were made aware but it still hasn't been replaced/updated.

    The full range of Humax apps are still available on the Apple app store, so perhaps an android issue.

    That's why I only said the PlayStore.
