Don’t feel bad about it. When I bought my HDR1000S in 2012 it came with a statement that “Humax plan to make a server facility available”. Still waiting. Humax do tend to exaggerate a bit. Which has at least equipped me to look critically at everything they say about their products next time I’m in the market to buy. So not entirely a loss.
Latest on the server….
Unfortunately despite the engineering teams best efforts it has not been possible to implement the server function without impacting on units usability/stability due to limited hardware resources.
And it’s took them four years to decide this? 😯 Even for Humax that’s got to be a record. 🙄

Nope.
I delayed posting the news.

Amazon TV Fire Stick, Chromecast, Roku, Now TV box et-al. They all do a great job and a better prospect than relying on PVR apps.

Chromecast the problem is not provided with a remote so you have to use Mobile phone to change menu. We don’t all use Mobiles !

The Chromecast is designed to provide simple screen casting from mobile devices (doesn’t have to be a phone can be a PC or tablet). It can work in two ways.
1 For chromecast enabled apps it takes over the stream your control device merely acts as a control/content selector. Same way as Youtube can be transferred to a G2 satellite box.
2 It can also acts as direct point to point screen cast, your mobile device continues to download the video stream.

As Graham T rightly remarks, you don’t need to own/use a mobile in order to use Chromecast. I have a cast button in the top right of my Chrome web browser on my Desktop PC – this works just as well as a mobile.
I rely on our Chromecasts to the extent I now couldn’t imagine life without them.
