I bought an FVP-5000T two years ago, I was worried about the reports of sluggish performance & awkward UI and, oh boy, were my worries borne out.
It's horrible to use, absolutely horrible and I'm getting to the end of my tether with it.
Before I junk it can you tell me if there are any solutions to any of the below? Has someone created another UI for it? Is there anyway to upgrade the box? I'd like to kick it all the way down the street but I need something to stream from my NAS but AFAIK I can't do this with a Firestick/Chromecast.
- sluggish start up of its own UI
- stalling of the whole box and having to reboot
- latency between pressing a button on the remote and the action happening
- sluggish start up and performance of apps like netflix and iPlayer
- stalling of netflix and iPlayer
- inability to simply click on a programme in the guide and instantly switch to it.
- the stupid organising/deleting of recordings
- the sluggishness of navigating recordings and media stream from my NAS including the fussy folder hierarchy
