The only DLNA certified Humax devices are the IRHD-5100C/5200C/5300C and the HD/HDR-FOX T2 (see here: http://www.dlna.org/consumer-home/look-for-dlna/product-search).
The Freesat <freetime> HDR-1000S is NOT currently a DLNA certified device which is why it does not work correctly with other DLNA certified devices, such as my D-Link NAS box.
Yes, you are correct that the FOXSAT-HD is not a DLNA client. The FOXSAT-HDR can be made into a DLNA server if you run raydon’s modded firmware. Again the HDR is not a certified DLNA device, or even a media server (without modded firmware)!
The best setup with Humax device(s) is a HDR FOX-T2 as a DLNA server/client and HD FOX-T2 as a client. But this is no use to you as these are Freeview boxes.
I find the media/DNLA facilities on the Freesat <freetime> box a little lacking at the moment, and I am not sure how this will develop (i.e. will Freesat push for DNLA certification so that it will work properly!? I have my doubts.)
Graded FOXSAT-HDR for £130 at Humax Direct: http://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/prodCat.asp?cat=factory&type=sat
These are usually Movies or programmes that the channels do not have the rights to put on the ‘catch-up’ platform…
I am afraid you will have to record these programmes.
The FOXSAT-HDR would fulfil all your needs: http://myhumax.org/blog/?page_id=886

I’d still recommend a HDD – TSR in particular is likely to wear out a flash disk fairly quickly.
There’s an option to turn buffering on or off. If you don’t need to ‘trick play’ live TV and just record, then turning buffering off will help wear on the flash drive.
It is a known issue (although it does not seem to be listed in the FAQ section). You do not have a rogue box.
Posting a photo for us to see would help. Are you sure your TV is not performing a PiP (picture in picture) function?
Not wanting to contradict you, but from my first set up – detailed here: http://myhumax.org/blog/?p=540 the HD reserves 20GB of space on the attached drive if it is assigned as a recording HDD.
I think a USB HDD or flash drive which allows a 20GB space to be reserved will work with the HD – although I have not tested this to confirm (I used an 80GB HDD in the article.) You can get USB flash drives of 32GB and 64GB now, but I don’t know if they will work.

Manufacturer Software – 9.5.0
Component Software – 1.2.6
Platform Configuration – 312
ISP Configuration – 1
Tis a phased roll out to retail boxes intially, over a couple of weeks apparently.
Thanks Barry for the info.
Have any other YouView Trialists been able to update? (So I did all this work for them and they don’t even allow me to update?)
What is the new update software version?
My box is refusing to find any new software… (4th Dec last updated, 8.7.0)
Have they pulled the update again?

Thirdly, if I didn’t want to be restricted by the FAT32 file limit and chose to use the Ex2 (not sure if correct name), how would I get a Windows 7 pc to support that format so that I could edit the recording and write it to a DVD if necessary?
Install a Windows driver for the EXT3 file system.
Ext2fsd will allow you to read EXT3 drives on Windows: http://myhumax.org/blog/?page_id=270
You can not export recordings on the YouView box: http://myhumax.org/forum/topic/usb-ports

Wipe Comet off that list then?
