I have a HDR Fox t2 and have just been given a Panasonic blue ray with dlna. The blue ray will work with mkv and avi etc. I had hoped to use dlna to watch recordings from my humax in the way i can from my phone but l see from postings on the forums.ts is not always supported. Is there a way to change the native recording format of the pvr? so the pvr record in a more widely used format.

As far as I know, you can't get the HDR to record in anything other than .ts - but if you FTP the files to a PC, you can convert them to a different format.

I returned the homeplugs and have gone back to watching via dnla and wifi on my mobile.
The restriction to .ts is the only restriction i have found with the box otherwise it's fantastic.
