    Extracted from the review at theregister.co.uk
    "Rather hidden away under the Humax label on the Home screen is the box’s section for playing multimedia from USB (or copies moved to HDD) and shared DLNA devices, plus web services such as Flickr and Picasa (and not much else). The video icon names XVID/AVI as the supported format but it handles a decent range of alternatives too, including WMV, TS, MP4, M4V and MKV, though HD video fared better from USB than over the network. For audio files, however, it is just MP3."

    Yes it is a DLNA client so you would be playing the files on the Humax where I thought the stated aim was to play them on the( presumably smart) TV?

    Ok, I thought the aim was to put the files on the PVR and watch them on TV. I must have misunderstood.

    Copying to the (seperate) user space (not that you would know this unless you has replaced the HD) on the HDR-1000S is also a possibility - however what is not known is that is the available space fixed or dynamic - My guess is fixed.

    You are correct Dino, i want the media files stored local on the 1000s and be able to play them on my non-smart Panasonic Plasma.
    I also noticed today there is no internet radio in the Humax portal, is tech not supposed to move on rather than back?
    How would i get the files from USB HDD to the PVR's drive and how would i then navigate them?

    Sorted the transfer issue now, not sure why the copy option wasn't there to start with.
    But no internet radio? Really?
