…They all have their niggles, I am afraid there isnt much competition out there
Nicely summed up unfortunately.
Yes it is the Foxsat sorry I didnt even know they bought a nother one out I thought freesat was discontinued. I will look it up. Thanks
Belay that comment I have just remembered I did buy one of these units about 1 1/2 years ago. It played up & the picture was all green. I sent it back to Humax for a refund. Stuck with the foxsat at the time & still use it.
Sounds like that was just an iffy F-connector issue rather than a fault with the Freesat box. I experienced exactly the same issue with mine when I first connected it. I re-made the F-connectors and five years later it’s still playing a starring role in my recording regime.
No, definately faulty. Checked everything, all leads etc. Plugged in the foxsat & everything worked.
The 1000S series got off to a rocky start with a buggy, badly designed and implemented GUI. However, while still not a work of art it is robust and does everything it says on the can. Picture is superb. I now have 1 x HDR and 3 x HB. No going back.

If you say so. You could do worse than to take note of what other posters say about the G2 Freesat boxes though. They are the Challenger 2 tanks of the PVR world – IMO.
Hi – I bought an FVP-5000T in the Spring to replace my ageing HDR-2T and the most important feature was the Remote Scheduling via the MyHumax.net website. Has this gone down – there have been no updates to my schedule for over 4 days ? To double-check, I have just set a new scheduled recording, and am anxiously waiting for it to appear on my FVP-5000T !
I can confirm that after a few minutes, the scheduled recording did appear on my FVP-5000T, but none of the other recordings set for today and several days hence, nor has it removed a number of completed programme schedules – anyone know the answer ?

The removal of completed recording schedules takes 13 weeks without another episode being found on all Freeview+ kit. The broadcaster can recycle the recording crid codes after this period for a different series. You can of course manually delete them if you wish.
OK – thanks for that info, but part of the problem is that I have 20 old schedules showing up on MYSchedule on the web-site, but one was not a series, the rest were series, but the offending date is not always on the schedule list on the FVP-5000T itself, and those that are, and are ongoing series, only allow deletion of the recording or cancel the whole schedule – obviously not what is required. Furthermore, the delete box on the web-site only remains available until the schedule is transferred to the Humax box – so old ones cannot be deleted from the web-site. It is also somewhat random as to which items remain frozen on the web-site and which disappear after recording. Please note also I was saying that current schedules on the FVP-5000T apart from the one I tested as above, are not showing in MYSchedule on the web-site. Something’s got to be seriously wrong there – Any ideas ?

Does this help ?
Hi Graham – No I’m afraid not – I have previously read that, and the settings on the PVR are all correct and initially it was leaving some random items uncleared (ie July/Aug). Has something in the August update upset it ? I was away on holiday Sept/Oct and used the Remote Recording via MyHumax.net and then it was OK except some schedules did not disappear from the MySchedule Listing (no identifiable connections).
Now it’s as I stated above – it’s not working properly – the MyHumax Schedule is not including all current schedules & I can’t clear the ones that are still on there that no longer apply.
I’m getting quite frustrated with the unreliability of this Remote Recording software, but that’s the main reason I got the FVP-5000T.
I am a new owner of a FVP-5000T. Can anybody tell me how to advance through the EPG a day at a time. On my Foxsat boxes this is done by pressing the fast forward button but doing this on the FVP-5000T just advances a single page (a couple of hours) at a time and it takes ages to get to get to a week in the future.
If you press the “+” button on the right hand side of the remote while in the EPG you can then select any date in the available range.
I believe there is another method involving holding down one of the right pointing buttons, but I am not certain and cannot check right now.

Whilst in the Guide, press the “+” button, select “Jump to date” and then choose the day you want. A bit clunky but gets the job done.
OK, thanks. As you say a bit clunky but better than a hundred button presses.
I have now checked and you can bypass part of the “+” procedure by holding down the right hand arrow button on the ring. It takes you straight to the date selection bypassing “Jump to Date”.
And long press of the left arrow shows the precedig 8 days
