The thing is it didn't do it for the first few months I had it so what has changed and will Humax take me serious if the problem doesn't resolve? The player is def not fit for purpose if this issue doesn't go away.

I have a 2000T and used it last night to watch all the catch-ups of Michael Portillo in America - 2.5 hours of iPlayer. The app performed flawlessly and we were recording at the same time so not sure what your issue is.
Can you not access iPlayer etc. through the TVs apps or similar product as a work-around?

Not sure what you mean by tv apps. There is only one iplayer on the Humax 2000T on the tv portal or am I missing something ?

Sorry, my TV is an old Sony Plasma with just Freeview.
I have updated the latest 2000T software which just came through today. I also did a factory reset.
NONE Of these fixed my issue which still happens. Do I have a case for a replacement by Humax ? I have as yet had no response from them.

.In that case have you not considered something like the Sky NOW box - only about £15 and that way you get all the catch up services without having to subscribe. Much better than the Humax apps.

Kind of defeats the object of having bought a box that is supposed to do that but I appreciate your suggestion nevertheless. It would be good to have ITV catch player though but having another box in the chain with only 2 HDMI cables already spoken for in my tv is a non starter. The thought of yet another remote as well.
Humax got back to me and suggested the old chestnut of re-formatting the hard drive. Yeah right - I will wipe all my recordings just to find that it hasn't solved the problem because Humax do not want to accept that this machine is faulty.

You do seem to have had many problems with the box. Is it still under warranty? If so, might it not be better to cut your losses, sacrifice the recordings, and get it replaced?

However, I use a HDMI hub, it isn't required to be powered and is a very neat solution all round. Oh! did I mention I have two 64 gig memory sticks in the USB ports.
I have 6 remotes to contend with - however, I like it that way, I did try one of those Harmony remotes but found it far to complicated. When I tried to show the wife how to use it I was given short shrift and told (in no uncertain terms) to go back to the 6 remotes which she could at least follow.
