damian - 12 hours ago » Back to the box though, it would have cost pennies to put an extra LED in for recording and even less for a tri-colour LED
I know, what the hell were they thinking? Dumb move Humax.

The box will surely work like the earlier box. If the box is recording or in pre-recording sby then pressing the off button will only return the box to full sby when recording activity is complete, as it does when waking from sby. Same applies if you turn off the box using the box power button when a bulk delete is underway, it will only go into full sby when all the deletes are processed. Of course you should not power off the mains when the box is operating. If you are really paranoid stick a usb powered light into one of the ports to see if the box is active. I use a cable with built in lights.

My earlier suggestion was that as the blue/red led(s) are presumably controlled by the firmware then tweaking the mark space ratio of the two colours would produce the appearance of different shades of whatever you get from different amounts of red and blue light
So no extra hardware needed...
My Watt-O-Meter is digital, and doesn't display watts with any decimal places, so the precision is +/- .5w, for a "properly" designed instrument the accuracy should be at least as great as the precision, but who knows...

Remember to register it with Humax to take advantage of 2 year warranty.Cheers Barry!
Well, first impressions of the T2000 are good. If you've already got a Humax box, then the T2000 won't be that alien to you. There are a few welcome functions straight out of the box, e.g. ftp server and 'file sharing'. ftp works really well, can copy files off the Freesat box onto the T2000 and play them on there. Not had chance to do much else, but will keep people up to speed as using the device. There's no browser access like with Raydon's firmware, but that's not really a show stopper as I only discovered the new firmware around 2 weeks ago anyhow. The ftp is really the best bit for me anyhow.

Includes wifi dongle for network connection.
Update: Stocks expected 30 November
and someone asked me to confirm this:
The remote is multi mode ie you can set 1 of 6 modes so as not to conflict with other Humax products.
