Is it known yet if the new FVP-4000T has network play capabilities such as DLNA? If so, does it have both client and server functionality?
Is playback from USB enabled? Is it possible to archive standard definition recordings to USB?
I have not ignored these questions, I had to be careful how much info was released before the product was available to public (I did hint in saliant points FAQ)
The answer is yes to all, in fact you can archive SD and HD, I will cover that In another topic shortly.
(and for the idiot in the other place, yes I did know but was being cautious in what detail I released)
How about the farcical feature (in the Freesat models) whereby entering a Scottish postcode removes the ITVPlayer capability. Is there the same “feature” in the FVP?

It’s a freeview box so no postcode.

Thanks, makes it worth a look as a potential buy.

Won’t it still require a postcode for using ITVPlayer / STVPlayer? The YouView box does. So does my Freeview Smart TV.

Surely it will know where you are simply by the transmitter it uses. Unlike satellite you normally only have 1 regional option.
Out of interest I have just installed ITV Player on my Amazon Fire TV. No postcode required. It also has STV player.
When I ran it it did accept a postcode, but I used one for a different region, all it did was set up the appropriate regional news variants.

Maybe. All the versions I’ve ever used have wanted a postcode entering. Maybe ITV will change that for Freeview Play. Have to wait and see, I guess.

See my edit. It doesn’t seem to check your postcode relates to where you actually get your terrestrial service from. I guess if asked we need a scottish owner to enter an english postcode.
Great! Thanks Barry.

The YouView box doesn’t verify postcodes either.
Just setup my new mocha and no postcode required. However it must know where I am as I cannot get most programmes on ITV player. I presume it knows my location through my lab network. Does anyone know how I can fool the box/ITV player into thinking I’m in England?
If I can’t get the full function of catchup and ITV player then it appears it’s a waisted purchase and I’ll be taking it back and swapping for a unit where I can input a postcode.
The restrictions imposed by broadcasters are a farce. I was tempted by the FVP or a second HDR but coincidentally my TV packed up and I bought a Samsung which has both itvplayer and stvplayer and allows a different postcode for each. Job done.
