    I now own a humax 5000 and would like to copy tv programmes to it from windows7 MCE via my mobile phone. Both devices see the phone and the pc name appears on the media menu in freeview play. But I can't see the tv shows.

    Like many Humax PVRs To play back recordings requires support files you cannot normally see. There are programmes that can create these for the Foxsat-HDR and the HDR-FOX-T2. Not aware of anyone who has figured out a way to upload these to a 5000T. If you plug in a usb drive with video files to the FVP-5000T usb slot you can play back these files from USB if they are a supported format and the FS used is supported.

    According to page 24 of the manual, you need to enable the Download folder and copy your programme files into that folder. I believe you can access the folder with FTP but not sure whether it shows up with any other file transfer protocols.

    My belief is that the programmes will play without the support files but you loose some functionality.
