Does anyone know if the Humax HDR-2000T has any advantages over the HDR-FOXT2, or any disadvantages?
The HDR-2000T has few minor advantages over the HDR-FOX T2 but nothing earth shattering and it has a few bugs in the software that are not present on the HDR-FOX T2. My advice would be to stick with the HDR-FOX T2. If you haven’t investigated the custom firmware for the HDR_FOX T2 you might consider it now. It adds functionality to the standard software with features for remote scheduling of recordings and lots of ways to share content to other devices and a whole host of other features.

Do we accept that the SD files are not encrypted?
I think they mean they are encrypted but capable of having the encryption removed in a couple of ways. This is certainly what Barry’s FAQ on the subject says, see https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/file-transfer

Another post with no answers. Does any Humax representative actuall visit ths site?
This is an independent site where users try to help other users. I think the days when Humax representatives engaged in discussion with users on Forums have long gone. If you want support from Humax then best to telephone them.

How rude you are Martin – I clearly hadn’t picked up on that, my mistake. ?
I am not rude, I am direct. Arrogant propagation of your view point appears to be what you do best. Your advice was useless because you hadn’t bothered to read what had been written.

Use something like Handbrake and you will be watching them by the time you have finished a brew. I have done lots and never had issues – that’s from the Humax 2000T but the format appears the same.
He copied them off the box with FTP. If you do that on HDR-2000T then the recordings will still be encrypted (and I assume the same is true for the FVP 4000T based on comments from owners) and Handbrake will do nothing so please stop talking nonsense.

This afternoon I re-installed the 1.01.09 software update which I had installed a couple of years ago to get rid of the ‘deleting loop’ problem. It may have cleared the intermittent start-up problem – I’ve just done a few start-ups and timed recordings and all seems ok now.
My guess would be that it is coincidence but interested to hear what you find in the future.

Don’t suppose there’s a simple way to transfer HD and radio recordings from an HDR FOX T2 to a FVP-4000T? Have a desktop PC with Windows 10, but one machine to the other is what I’d really really like!
You would need to install the custom firmware for the HDR-FOX T2 and the process involves steps that are outside the permitted limits of discussion on this forum. I suggest you ask the question at http://hummy.tv

Well given it’s not likely to be hardware failure
What is your evidence for it not being a hardware problem? This to me smells much more like a hardware issue than a software issue. If it was a hardware issue then Humax would probably continue to peddle the software problem possibility simply because admitting a hardware problem would quite likely cost them a lot of money in repairs.

Do you know if this will be corrected in the future?
Ask the broadcaster who is not using the CRID correctly.

I presumed I needed two switches as I have one Freesat box and now box in the lounge and the other Freesat box and now box in the study, the sky box and remaining now box are in the kitchen which will remain on wifi. None of the boxes are hard wired back to the router as I have two sets of power line adaptors
OK is this is all new information and yes two switches is the way to go.

You’ll be pleased to know that I’ve now ordered two network switches
Good; as a matter of interest why two switches?

Do they mean that one goes into the power line adaptor and the other goes into the Freesat box with the cable for the other box coming out of the second splitter in the Freesat box.
No. Lets try one more time they won’t help in your particular case. They are used typically where you have a long ethernet cable and you want two devices at the far end. You have one “splitter” at the router end and you connect two ethernet cables from the “splitter” to different ports on the router. At the other end of the cable you have another “splitter” and you connect two ethernet cables from the ports on the splitter to the two different devices. It would be better called a combiner as it is really combining the signals for two ethernet cables into one.
By the way the switch that I have suggested is not a physical switch; you can use all the connected devices simultaneously (the “switching” is purely electronic and internal to the switch).

I don’t know if a power line adapter would work instead of a cable. Anyone know?
I am not sure what you are asking; you can get power line adapters with multiple network ports (I have some with two ports and some with three ports) and these will work in this case (effectively the adapter has a built in switch).

I have to admit that most of the info I’m getting is loosing me. All I know is that with the splitter plugged in to the power line adaptor only one outlet works, this is when I only have one cable plugged into the splitter. Why wouldn’t the Freesat cable work when it’s the only one plugged in to the splitter as the splitter isn’t splitting.
The splitters are using the fact that 100 Mb/s ethernet only uses four of the wires in an ethernet cable which actually has eight wires. One of the outlets on the splitter will be using the standard four wires but the other outlet will be connected to the four non standard wires that will carry no signal. They really shouldn’t be marketed as splitters; it isn’t what they do.
Thanks for the advice, think I’ll return the splitters back to Amazon like the other purchaser did and stick to wifi.
Get a network switch for not much more than £5 and it will all work as you expect and is a plug it together and forget about it solution..

the splitters are no good.
The splitters have a very specific purpose and do work but not in the way you are trying to use them.
