Humax fvp 4000t
Switches on for unknown reason
This only happens when connected to the internet by ethernet cable. Connected by wifi it does not happen.
There could be many reasons for this ... anything from an innocent operating system error ... to something more sinister with PRIVACY implications.
Wifi connections have individual password authentication on each router, but ethernet connections do not require authentication. I know that ISPs can interrogate routers for settings controlled by them, a hacker or virus could probably connect from that to the ethernet ports ... so connecting to anything with a hard connection ... including Humax boxes, collecting information on who is recording what.
Also it could be that this only affects some ISPs, TalkTalk for instance have admitted problems with hackers. There has also been publicity about devices connected by bluetooth being a security risk.
I would be interested in anyone with the same problem.
Also interested in the opinion of Humax o/s programers.
