Each one can watch all the others recordings which is ideal if one is another room.
I tried playing recordings from my 4000 last night on my HDR (custom firmware) and it wont play them, just says cannot play this file type. I guess that's because they are encrypted?
My HDR is set to remove encryption on all recrodings so I expect I could play them on the 4000, I must try it to see.

Did you try a SD recording on your 4000T.
SD recordings will work.
Yes SD will work, but I don't record any non HD channels so its a no go.

To playback HD using a vanilla HDR-FOX-T2 you need another HDR-FOX-T2. They have DTC/IP protected client and server.

Shame the FreeviewPlay units don't use the same technology.
Is it nice and quiet in operation please?
Can users hear the hard drive heads from a couple of metres away?
I will start looking at the new Humax units if they are really quiet in operation. I will compare them with competitors
This time I will be researching all the feedback
Cheers

I'm sat about 2 metres from my unit and cannot hear it, the only time I've heard the HDD heads was when I had the lid off for the picture in #71
On mine I can/t Hear anything from the box at all. A lot of the other PVR's on the market make a noise because of the Fan that's in the box.
The 5000t has no need for a fan so all the noise that you would get from other makes isn't there. I think you would not be disappointed with the Humax.
I am sat about 2 metres away and I can hear the heads on my 4000, but usually only during a dual recording/playback scenario. Other than thats its a very quiet box and its great not having a fan cut in out out as it gets warm.
You have to expect it to make some noise of course as its a mechanical device.
I've had a Humax PVR9150T for many years and apart from the lack of HD channels it's been so excellent that I've avoided replacing it with a newer model.
It's the third PVR I bought, the first two brands having been completely useless, so I want to stick with Humax if I can.
The PVR9150T's remote has a "commercial skip" button that enables me to skip forward 30 seconds. I use it not just for commercials but to FF through all manner of drivel and filler material. It's perhaps the PVR9150T's most important feature so far as I'm concerned.
But looking at the PDF manual of the new Humax FVP-5000T, which I'm thinking of buying, I can't see any button for this function on the remote. Can Humax really have dumped such an essential feature?
