If I upgrade my 4000T with the 5000 software, are there any issues with using the RM-L03 remote?
No
Edit: Off topic nonsense removed from this thread.
Barry – an added dynamic now that we have 4000T users running the 5000T software
with the new software how do you call up program info when watching a recording. You could do this before but I can not work out how to do this now ?
This has been highlighted to Humax Towers.

I attempted to update my new 5000T and it failed to find new software.
It was only when I returned to this thread and rechecked the new version number that I found that it had been shipped with 1.03.37 already installed (build date 21 Nov).
Can the 5000t update OTA or does one have to download the file to a USB stick from the Humax website? I have a feeling from reading here that it updates OTA.
Updates can be via LAN/WiFi if unit connected to home network or if no network connection via USB.

How difficult would it be do a firmware update to make one of the coloured buttons become an INFO button?
One of the older remotes will control the FVP-5000T if set to the right Infra Red mode. I doubt the info button will do anything.
Correct – you are just presented with the ‘no entry’ icon
Are the remote codes the same? – Remote from Humax probable default is mode 1.
See FAQ
Is the remote in PVR mode ie press the PVR button first?

Yes Humax are not known for fast booting these days.
Nonsense
The UK 4000/5000T boots from full standby to audio/video displayed in approx 17/18 seconds!

Sir Davy looks to be frustrated by the procedure to change channel from the guide or info banner, in that it doesn’t change channel but goes to the info screen first.
Yes, this is exactly my problem. I want to watch Newsnight I don’t need to see an f-n info screen telling me what the programme I’ve already chosen to view is. Not only is it an extra click it’s a ponderous couple of seconds while the info screen populates with all the unwanted information. Is there anyway to kill the info screen?
Does not pressing OK on the programme entry in the EPG take you straight to programme (admittedly with the info banner at the bottom of the screen until it times out or you press Back / Return as happens on my BT Youview box?
Or is it more like my old Foxsat HDR where you press OK twice in quick succession from the EPG entry?
I too make use of Favourites on my Harmony Ultimate remote control but as that is limited to only work on one box I have chosen to use them for the Youview box which is the most cumbersome for channel navigation of my three boxes.
Damned if they do…
One of the gripes oft mentioned re the 4000T software was that in the guide pressing OK on a programme currently on air the unit would switch to that channel. It has been changed in the 5000T software so that it now just displays the programme info, pressing OK a second time changes channel.

This is best guess…
Solid circle available to watch in iplayer now…note if you highlight and press OK on a programme with this icon one of the options is ‘watch via on demand’
Dotted circle I assume means will be available to via on demand shortly.
Welcome to our Forum
We don’t have this model in the UK…
Try looking in Home, Settings, System Settings, Power Management for Power Saving Mode.
Are you saying you cannot change channel by simply pressing the CH up/down button or entering the channel number required on the remote keypad?

Now my old reliable Digital Stream gave up the ghost at the weekend. After a quick look I went for the latest Humax to replace it. Now I could have gone for a cheaper PVR but some of the features looked good and I knew some might not be of interest or use. Now I didn’t have an older Humax and if I did some of the things on the 5000t might be annoying. But…to me is it slow?..no. The guide is reasonable quick, channel changing is reasonably quick. There is no front display panel but i’ll get used to it. It can’t create folders and move stuff into them but again I’ll get used to it. It’s got more tuners so I shouldn’t get clashes. So overall I think its pretty decent pvr. As long as it doesn’t miss a recording!If Humax support their products like Digital Stream did with new updates/features then I think I’ll be happy.
Welcome to our Forum
Thank you for your opinion, makes a change to see some positive comments.
I’ll assume FVP 5000T as OP has raised other questions on same.
Whilst I do not need subtitles, whenever I have tested them they appear to be fine using the sub button on remote – 2 presses, once to display option second to enable, or of course you can enable via settings. general settings menu.
