    So obvious I hadn't thought of it!
    But why allow you to copy from usb into them but not from ftp? Not sure I understand the logic!
    Tried turning the Samba server on but no sign of it appears on my network...

    Unusually if I remember correctly the box supports NTFS so files larger than 4GB are OK.

    I have never understood exactly what is going on with the "Samba" server. On my computer running Windows 10 this is what I see:

    It is the DMS server that will give you access to SD recordings and decrypt them. Note certain details redacted. I assume the decryption process involves the DLNA server.

    Mine only appears in 'Other devices' not in 'Media devices'. No idea why!

    What exactly do you see in other devices?

    Ok so you are seeing the DIAL server from the Humax but not the DMS server. In Settings, Server settings, what are the active hours and the server status? Could this be another firewall issue?

    Ah. That server was off. Now that it's on, I also see 2 entries in 'Media Devices':
    FVP-5000T DMR 10.0.0.79
    FVP-5000T DMS 10.0.0.79

    I can now, for example, view the Humax content on a PC. Cool!

    Given a suitable network connected Smart TV in another room, would I thus be able to watch Humax content on it??

    Excellent.

    Yup but only SD.

    I think you should be able to watch SD content if the Smart TV has a DLNA client. To watch HD content from the FVP then you would need another FVP.

    Incidentally from memory If I remember correctly from one of Barrys posts. You can add a usb splitter, and connect a disc with movies and another with photos and music and switch the source between them using the box remote.

    I have a Samsung MU6120 TV, and I can watch HD recordings from my FVP4000T over the network.
