why does it have to go throught the router first. why cant it be plugged straight to my pc via ethernet.
Don’t all Ethernet connections go direct to the router?
Why would you want to connect it to your PC? So if you connect the HB1000s to the PC how does the PC then connect to the router?

What exactly do you want to be able to do?
If you plugged your PVR straight into your PC, you would have to use a reversed RJ45 lead. See;

A PC and the Humax PVR are both Network interface controllers.

Do you really want to have your PC on everytime you want to watch any of the <freetime> catch up services ? If your PC has lan cable back to the router you can share it with multiple kit using a cheap high speed network switch.
My laptop, Foxsat-hdr, HD1000S, HD FOX T2, HDR FOX T2, Blu-ray player and AV amp all use one cable back to the router. I have a spare outlet that can be used with anything ese (Grandsons XBOX One for instance)
my pc is using wireless and yes it is on all the time when im watching tv then both get switched off.my router in 4 rooms away.
my pc also has a network card installed as it used to be near my router and connected with ethernet cable.

OK then assuming you are running Windows then you can enable Internet Connection Sharing and connect the Humax to the network port on the PC.

What EXACTLY did you try? It will work if done correctly.
i enabled internet sharing as you said plugged in the ethernet and no connection kept showing on humax.
Have you thought about using a WLAN-Dongle instead which you plug into the USB of the Humax?

Do you have a correct cable?

The one shipped with PVR or router is straight-trough cable, not reversed.
I am not sure that DHCP works across INTERNET connection sharing.
Does the Humax show an IP address?
ok bought the dongle now hust got to find how to do it.
