    I have just purchased the Humax H3 Expresso to use with my FVP 4000T. Does the H3 stream live TV when the FVP 4000T is in standby as my H3 does not. Also, it is not picking up any TV recordings stored on my FVP 4000T even when switched on. This is needs to be ironed out fast by Humax to stop me taking the H3 back for a refund.

    Welcome to our Forum

    The answer to both questions should be yes , but it is not necessarily the H3 at fault. There are still ongoing issues with the network server on the FVP which are being looked into.

    To see the H3 in action fully you may have to factory reset your FVP to start with so you have network server working properly.

    If the Network server timer function is activated on the FVP then you should be able to view both live TV and recordings on the H3 with the FVP in standby.

    Thank you for the very quick reply. A factory reset of the FVP-4000T without formatting the HDD has solved the problem. I can now stream both live TV and stream my FVP-4000T recordings both powered on and in standby. Happy and now off to buy an additional H3. :-)

    Contrary to my last post, The FVO-4000T recordings only showed up for a few hours and I have not been able to access them without a factory restore. Humax needs to resolve the recordings server issue to avoid having to factory reset which is unworkable.

    Beta firmware upgrade to FVP-4000T resolved recordings access issue on H3.

    Sounds good. Still having similar issues to you. How do you go about getting access to the beta firmware?

    Limited success with my H3. My FVP-4000T is connected via a wired ethernet connection and my H3 via Wi-Fi (it only supports 2.4GHz 802.11n). The network status on the H3 shows a connection speed of around 130MHz so that should be fine. HD channels regularly drop or freeze for a few seconds, SD is better. I've also tried AV600 Powerline adaptors, this provides the best HD performance, but still freezes occasionally, to the extent that I changed to BBC2 SD to be able to watch the rugby Four Nations today.

    I am running the latest FVP-4000T beta firmware.

    Got mine today, not seeing any recordings from my 4000t but I can set recordings from the H3. Does anyone have a link for the beta firmware to see if this fixes my issue otherwise it's going back.
