    Hello,
    Are there any plans to make the ITV X player on the 4000 operable? I have read that it is not operable because ITV don't believe the system does enough to protect their programmes from being ripped off. I wonder whether Humax plan an update that would meet ITV's standards?
    Thanks if you have any info

    I doubt that Humax will put effort into supporting ITVX on the FVP-4000T/5000T. What would be in it for them?

    How about keeping their customers happy? Especially if they bought one of their machines when it initially came out. Many of us will have forked out over £200, not expecting ITV Hub to become obsolete after 5 or 6 years. I certainly would not buy another Humax box, after this debacle.

    Humax are not really to blame for this problem. The 5000T was designed at a time when ITV Hub was active and it was perfectly well supported. Then ITV decided to create ITVx and used a different technology which the 5000T was not capable to run. So it is ITV's fault, not Humax's.
