Sorry, folks I’ve ditched the 4000T which should have been a great improvement over the HDR Fox T2. It’s the other way round and I am delighted with my “new” toy.
What a waste of money..

So basically you owned a Ford Focus and you’ve now gone back to a Ford Escort – hmm! okay! 😯

I reckon he has gone back to a Ferrari compared to your Ford Focus – the current state of development of the 4000T apart from the obvious extra tuner is a poor relation to the HDR FOX T2. The HDR-FOX-T2 with the CF add on is by far the best Freeview+ pvr Humax has ever built. If you don’t own one (I have two, so clearly is more flexible with 4 tuners than the 4000T three), you do not know what you are missing.

Well if you had two 4000T that would be 6 tuners so clearly more flexible than your 4 if you want to use that as an argument
I would agree the 4000T is not Humax’s finest hour – far from it. However, at the end of the day the FOX – T2 is still and old motor and is at the end of it’s developmental life CF SW or not. Sort of the XP of PVRs but Graham things move on. At the end of the day I can record things in HD on our 1000s and things I want to keep I can pull them off the 2000T in SD. If I’m being honest even things in SD like the recent New Zealand Islands on the Edge look pretty darn good in SD.
I’m sure they will get the ‘steak pie’ sorted before too long. I would give him £50 for it.
As from yesterday, the day I posted on the forum, I switched off my 4000T and will not touch it for 12 months in the hope that, in the meantime, it transmogrifies itself. Right now my “old” HDR Fox T2 is a joy to use once more. Case closed.

Tuners is one thing I aren’t short of.
Smart TV – 2 Freeview 2 Freesat (only 1 freesat usable)
HDR 1000S and Foxsat-HDR 4 Freesat
Two HDR-FOX-T2 2 Freeview
V-Box 2 Freeview (can record 4 HD at once subject to transponder)
All Freeview ones are DVB-T2 HD capable.
Two HDR FOX T2’s are more flexible than 2 4000T simply because you can view all recordings (HD and SD) on the other. No CF required at all to do this.

So you’re not interested in my ‘reasonable offer’ then? 😯

One thing about Freeview boxes is you can run as many as you want off a single aerial. Why don’t you use both ?
Your “reasonable” offer is appreciated but I really cannot be bothered to post the wretched thing.
As I have already stated I shall plug it in again after a year and then make a final decision as to whether or not I firmly apply my sledgehammer to it.
I genuinely reckon this forum should be renamed My 4000T forum due to the amount of problems people post over this one product. 😳
Leaving it for a year is not a bad idea, by then the software might be better. To use a Windows analogy, the FVP-4000T software has just about progressed from Windows Vista to Windows Vista SP1: Windows 7 is still over the Horizon. Humax do seem to have dropped the build quality though. External PSU, cheap and nasty. No front display, cheap and nasty. Why did they drop DLNA streaming of high def. content? Was this cost related or were they worried that it could be used to access a decrypted high def. stream?
It is because so much functionality has not been implemented. The Fox T2 had much of it right. It just needed updating and prettifying. On a thread on here much of what is missing in the Firmware was discussed.
https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/update-10125-any-real-improvements
It was all in the T2. The only way to make customers happy is to add to what they have experienced. The 4000T feels like a retro grade it terms of Firmware. Even now they are starting to struggle to find beta testers. Why, because there has been no announcement as to what will be addressed based on the feedback on here. Is there a plan?
Ironic that there is still always a picture of the Fox HDR T2 in the top right hand corners of all the FVP 4000T forum pages…
