    Are there 1TB hard disc models?

    I’m very disappointed in the lack of skip backwards/forwards buttons. I use them all the time on my HDR Fox T2s.

    Usual for Humax to release 500GB first then 1TB a week or so later.

    I saw that in the FAQ. But they’re not real skip buttons, they involve multiple button presses to invoke and cause crap to appear on the screen.

    Why did they feel the need to change the UI? The HDR Fox T2 one works very well.

    Thanks. What I really want is an HDR Fox T2 with ITV Player, 4OD, Demand 5 and an EPG that goes into the past to invoke them all. It’s not clear that the FVP-4000T is close enough to my spec to tempt me. And I’m not even insisting it run the custom firmware, that would be a bonus.

    From Humax Twitter – 1TB will hopefully be available from next week.

    As it uses the usual remote control sets (see FVP-4000T FAQ) does it respond to the skip buttons on a HDR-FOX, or similar, remote? I presume the UI is based on a Freeview Play rather than Humax specification.

    Afraid not, still have to use OK or play to display timebar and then press left right arrow.

    Then given I use skip backwards/forwards buttons far more often than I bemoan my lack of ITV Player etc, this box is not for me.

    To be honest the one extra button press has not been that much of an inconvenience surprisingly.

    Yes but how long does it take for the play time bar that appears to disappear again? If I pause on BBC4 in a foreign programme with subtitles I find on Play the play time bar causes me to miss subtitles before it disappears, so I have to skip backwards a bit to read what I missed. If skip back causes the time bar to appear then I’m snookered.

    You can press exit to dismiss the time bar same as on HDR T2.

    Yet more button presses. This may be useful for me on HDR Fox T2 after Pause, but for skip forwards/backwards on Freeview Play that adds yet another button press for what is a single button on the HDR Fox T2.

    If the foreign language film has Audio Description then the Audio Description will read the compulsory sub-titles for you.

    Unfortunately the films I’ve watched the Audio Description was present for some of those films with a mix of languages but so far not one where it was all non-English.

    I’m not talking about anything as complicated as Audio Description. This is things like Beck on BBC4 which are in Swedish with burnt in English subtitles in the video stream.
