    Please can anyone help me?

    I have just bought a HDR FOXT2 which is in the kitchen. It is on a cabled LAN to the living room which has a Sony TV and a Sony BPS 370 blu ray which I already use as a DLNA client from a qnap with no problems. But it does not work from the Humax . I need a solution to this and would like to know if anyone out there has bought a media player box that works with the Humax???

    The very best DLNA client for a HDR Fox T2 is another HDR Fox T2, or the smaller HD Fox T2. That isn’t as daft as it may sound, a fair number of people use an HD in the bedroom to watch content recorded on their HDR. Certainly nothing else will stream Hi-Definition content with the standard firmware.

    It’s quite likely that something like the Raspberry Pi running XBMC will be a viable low-cost option too but nobody has their hands on one yet!

    Will the HD Fox T2 really work OK as I was looking for something cheaper. Have you tried it ? is it reliablable over dlna via a cable (no wireless used) ?

    Any info would help

    Thanks

    Yes, I have a HD (got a grade A model from humaxdirect for around £60) and it works perfectly with firmware 1.02.27 (there was a problem with previous versions) and will stream SD and HD content fine. You don’t have the full range of transport control available in that FF/RW doesn’t work but skip forward/back and navigation using the left and right cursors works fine.

    The HDR probably just serves up the raw TS stream as recorded (protected with DTCP for HD content) as it doesn’t have the horsepower to transcode, but I can’t check at the moment.

    Can I ask ? is it just the HDR FOXT2 and the HD FOX T2 that can receive dlna ?

    No, at least XBMC (software) can receive standard definition streams from the HDR without problems.

    I got my HD on ebay for £35.00 + P&P. if it just for streaming from the HDR it’s perfect.
