I've just bought a 5000T hoping to replace Virgin's Tivo box. But the first few days have already thrown up some concerns.
The first is that the EPG series information seems incomplete for the HD channels. If I want to set series links for BBC on Sunday evening's schedule, the options for the programmes are all available for the SD programmes - but for the corresponding programmes on HD, the "Record Whole Series" option does not appear. These links are missing on myhumax.net, the Live TV app and the 5000T itself. So I can only conclude that it's Humax' EPG series information that's missing or defective. If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do to recover it, is there?
The second is that there seems to be no simple way to search for a programme on the Live TV app other than by going through the guide. I can't simply search by programme name, like I can with Virgin's app. I know I can search by name on the website, but it's the Android app that I would like to use, since using the website on my phone is possible but awkward. Am I missing something?
When searching the forum about this subject, I came across a recent thread suggesting that linked series, even if set, sometimes get deleted. I'm starting to think that I just need to send this back. But am I being unduly pessimistic: is this box reliable once I get these two questions resolved?
Thanks for any advice and help.
