    Sorry another question:-
    What exactly is a "compatible device", is this a DNLA sort of thing?

    Yes it is.

    So exactly like the HDR Fox T2 then. Does the HDR-2000T do anything that the HDR Fox T2 does not? (Apart from smaller box and runs faster, external PSU etc. ie physical differences).

    More or less, as previously mentioned GUI is the same.

    IPTV Channels - 225 etc

    I think I've got the hang of IPTV, ie streamimg tv directly to the box via broadband, different from u-tube/I player etc, a new standard, introduced relatively recently.

    But what's the ref. To channel 225?

    By the way does bt youview/t1010 do iptv?

    225 is is one of the IPTV channel numbers.

    Edit as answer changed:

    Youview - IPTV not as yet, no idea if it is planned.

    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.

    Question is does the 2000T have a faster processor? DTR 1010 is painfully slow.

    That's because it has to run the YouView software in a virtual machine within the box. Not Humax's fault but it does make for a terrible user experience IMHO.

    The 2000T does have more memory so it may have an upgraded processor over the HDR-Fox T2 too, not that the T2 has any problems there.

    Received an email asking for confirmation re PSU.

    I can confirm it is external PSU, as per my post #1

    (The tech specs listed on Humax Direct were originally wrong, but quickly amended once highlighted to Humax Towers - post #16)

    Sounds like an HDR Fox T2 in a different box/power supply with maybe a faster CPU. The only benefit seems to be the IPTV channels and they're only there because support is mandatory for any new Freeview HD boxes these days.

    If anyone has the box can they please check that it's possible to turn off power saving in sby to enable rf loopthrough. A poster in another place reckons the option is missing (ie Power Management only has a auto shutdown option).
