    No win situ for Humax - have a front display, moans and whinges, take it out....
    Makes no difference to me as all products behind smoked glass doors

    Quite right Barry. I wasn't really moaning. It's just that I prefer and front pannel display and always have. One man's meat is another man's poison. The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things.

    The front panel display on the F2-FOX T set top box is what attracted me to Humax all those many moons ago, far more professional looking than the competition at the time.

    I think the front panel makes it look like a 1980s VCR.

    A front panel display is useful when you want to listen to the radio without needing to have the TV turned on.

    Can anybody describe in simple terms what the difference between the DTR-T1010 and the T2000 is...

    Other than say 50 quid, 20 watts more on standby and possibly 2 minutes more time to boot?

    I can see from the Humax sales bumph that they say it has a "portal" with things like BBC I-player & YouTube & Flickr(plus they say "more will be added") so it looks sort of like a YouView-y kind of thing, but not quite...

    Anybody know any more in this respect?

    Thanks

    DTR 1010 YouView - Good for on demand content as is has all the major players, with previous 7 days EPG. Woeful as PVR, lacking many of the features now regarded as standard eg - No padding auto or manual, no edit timers, no manual timers, no manual tuning, no favourites, no wifi support, no archiving.

    HDR 2000T - Only has BBC iplayer, no backward looking EPG though, plus other stuff you have already mentioned, but as PVR it has all that is missing from the DTR 1010.

    Sorry another question:-

    Anybody any idea what is meant by this paragraph from the sales bumph for the 2000 :-

    The HDR-2000T offers exciting multimedia and home networking capabilities, making it the hub of any home. Play media content including photos, videos and MP3s directly onto your TV using a memory device in the USB port, or connect it to PCs or laptops around the home through your home router, using the Ethernet port. Your friends and family will be able to see your holiday moments without having to crowd around your digital camera, so there’s no chance the family can avoid that slideshow!
    Share your recorded programmes from the HDR-2000T with other compatible devices around the home via your home network.

    What exactly is a "compatible device", is this a DNLA sort of thing?
