I understand the FVP-4000T can remote record from the Android/IOS app.

Is it reliable?

Can you Remote Record a Series Link programme?

Thanks

Thanks

I understand remote record was added in August and you can now remote record from Android or IOS.

- Is it reliable?
- Can you now Remote Record a Series Link programme?

Thanks

p.s. I've requested my original post be deleted.

Thanks Barry.

Is that Android or IOS? Not that it matters I expect.

My guess as it's waiting Freeview not Humax Series Link support will be a while.

I'd probably set that programme to record then set myself a phone reminder to add Series Link later.

I only have experience of the iOS app, and it has never worked properly for me, although remote recording via the website does work.

Both version of app. but as I stated only limited use because of server issues on the FVP - however latest beta has improved matters.

Thanks guys.

I think I'm going to stick with my Youview box for now until Humax sort out their Freeview Play box or release another.

Can you be more detailed please mhargreaves?

Is it generally bad or do parts work well/badly.
