I resisted buying a 4000, with its problems, when my T2 gave up the ghost in September, knowing that the release of the 5000 was imminent. Then spent £229! Now all these happy 4000 owners have a virtual 5000. It may be sour grapes, but thanks Humax.

I've now also now joined the growing number of 4000 owners loading the 5000 software. Been through all the settings and options and all seems to work ok. Much better user interface. Thanks Humax

I've also updated my 4000T and have not yet found any problems. The box feels slightly quicker when scrolling the Guide and I very much prefer the list view of my recordings.
I don't find the Humax programme recommendations very useful, but that's personal preference.

Yes - the list view looks much nicer. When Humax and YouView started using little thumbnails I was initially impressed, but the space they take up is a big negative when you have a lot of recordings, and they are snapshots from the start of a recording so they are often a thumbnail of the ad-break before the programme, lol. Not at all useful. If they could be a stock image of the recorded programme the might be a little more useful, but a list is still much more efficient.
I'm very pleased because it's like I have a new box!

If I upgrade my 4000T with the 5000 software, are there any issues with using the RM-L03 remote?

Edit: Off topic nonsense removed from this thread.Barry - an added dynamic now that we have 4000T users running the 5000T software
I have noticed a couple of minor things that were highlighted in 4000T testing that still prevail e.g. selecting a series, the software still defaults to play the newest recording instead of the oldest. This has been highlighted to Humax in discussions many times.
Also
-in the EPG the OK button now displays "info" for live programs which is much better but can you still change to a different live channel when in the EPG, if so how please ?
- with the new software how do you call up program info when watching a recording. You could do this before but I can not work out how to do this now ?PS - being able to view recordings as a list is a massive improvement (shame they still haven't resolved the problem with the sort to deal with program names starting with "new").

In the epg move to the channel you want to watch either by channel up/down the up/down arrows or entering the channel number at the current time. Press OK and OK again on watch live.
While watching recording Freeview-Play - recordings locate the recording you are watching - OK will show the info.

I attempted to update my new 5000T and it failed to find new software.
It was only when I returned to this thread and rechecked the new version number that I found that it had been shipped with 1.03.37 already installed (build date 21 Nov).Can the 5000t update OTA or does one have to download the file to a USB stick from the Humax website? I have a feeling from reading here that it updates OTA.
