I contacted Humax to voice my displeasure and was assured they were not aware of the new model in August. The CS rep also added this:
"The FVP-5000T runs similar software to the FVP-4000T and once we have had the FVP-5000T released for a while and the software monitored we will be releasing the same software to our 4000T models. We do not have a date for this yet."
