Have been using the 5000T for a few days now but am finding it awfully noisy with the hard drive clicking away.
None of my other Recorders make a noise like that & neither does my CCTV which records constantly. Are they using cheap hard drives?
Any one else finding this a problem?

Unit is barely warm when touching the top. Rather suggests andysue has a duff unit.

I really am trying to like this box, my first Humax, but it certainly has annoying niggles. I’ve still got the receipt out but I don’t actually know what I’d get in it’s place.
- Defaulting to most recent ep in a series.
- Doesn’t remember preference if you did prefer grid as opposed to list in recording library. Not that it always gets the thumbnails citing recording failed but then plays as normal.
- The behaviour of left and right arrows being different in timeshift as opposed to proper playback - for quick forward/replay function it brings up the channel list...
- The channel list which is trying to be a programme guide with left/right/up/down buttons all going to it - what usefulness does it bring? It tells you the current programme with no indication of anything else. The view that you get when changing channel is of more use.
- The ok button brings up a further variation showing what is on currently but with barely a sentence of the description and without what’s on next without clicking further. Then to watch you have to click twice as it has to go via the info screen.
- The guide behaviour when scrolling down where it goes to the next ‘page’ of channels rather than keeping the same formation with one extra in view.
- The low signal black screen when something disrupts it for a second.

I am using Freesat, Panasonic, & the 5000T.
Freesat:- slow on EPG ( unless you press extra buttons all the time), cant use freeview play.
5000T:- Horrid EPG, noisy, No INF in EPG.
Panasonic:- At first I bought the freeviewplay, awfully slow & didnt have search! Took it back & swapped for older model without freeview play, lightning fast & a search. no inf in EPG
They all have their niggles, I am afraid there isnt much competition out there otherwise they would have better software because they wouldnt sell anything. We are at their mercy.| Thu 14 Dec 2017 9:52:57 #369 |
