thanks for posting, it's really useful from somebody that can compare directly.
If the 1000S uses a different portal (ip address) then that may explain some problems (portal or isp packet shaping), however I cannot imagine Humax using a different portal which leaves the 1000S pretty exposed.
Humax are being silent on this and they would know whether the same portal is used for the hdr-foxt2 and the hdr-1000s. As would somebody else with packet sniffing software (wireshark/ethereal etc) and both boxes.
Barry? you have connections with Humax Towers, do the two boxes use the same portal address?
If they use the same portal/ip-address then logic is telling me that the 1000S has problems with iplayer - clear as daylight!
History tells me that a future software update will solve this problem, in time. Quick reply to GLT, no idea, it may buffer 30mins, the older boxes buffer the whole programme, I can't imagine the 1000S only buffering 30mins, but we don't know and Humax do!
Opening the box up allows for a better support community and surely Humax have seen this with the foxsat and hd/hdr-foxT2. The 1000S seems to be a nightmare at the moment, a black box with no transparency.
Some customers out there can't operate a tin opener let alone a pvr, however Humax holding back information doesn't help anybody
