If I have 2 FVP-5000's connected to my home network can I view HD recordings made on box 1 on box 2? Would this be more reliable than using an H3 Espresso which seems to be flakey?

If I have 2 FVP-5000's connected to my home network can I view HD recordings made on box 1 on box 2?Good question and I would also like to know the answer. You can play HD content from an HDR_FOX T2 on a FVP-5000T over the network (which must mean that the FVP-5000T supports DTCP) so I think there is a reasonable chance. However you can't play FVP-5000T HD content on an HDR-FOX T2 but I wonder if this might be because the FVP requires a later version of the DTCP protocol.
Would this be more reliable than using an H3 Espresso which seems to be flakey?
If it works, I would expect it to be better.

Almost certainly not.
The licencing means that HD recordings are tied to the motherboard which recorded them.
SD recordings are not so tied and can be viewed on other boxes.
Why not try it and find out for yourself?

Don't know about the 5000T, but my two 4000Ts will play each other's recordings (SD & HD) over my network.
Also my HD FoxT2 (with custom firmware) and Samsung TV (UE50MU6120K) will both play HD recordings from either 4000T

I imagine the op only has one and is contemplating buying a second.

HTHAs the boxes share the same software (the label on the motherboard of my early 5000T says it's a 4000T. Seems pretty certain the 5000T can also do this.

I can play SD content from an FVP-5000T without problem via DLNA. HD content is shown in the media list with an icon that looks like a segment of camera file with superimposed on top a red circle with a white diagonal line through it (which I take to be a no entry sign); attempts to play the HD content results in a 'Cannot support this file format" error message. What am I doing wrong or what are you doing differently?

Thanks for all the replies. I want to play HD recordings made on my FVP-5000T in another room and thought a 2nd FVP-5000T might be a better solution than an H3 Espresso. A refurbished FVP-4000T at £139 might be an affordable solution.
