Sorry another question:-
What exactly is a “compatible device”, is this a DNLA sort of thing?
Yes it is.
So exactly like the HDR Fox T2 then. Does the HDR-2000T do anything that the HDR Fox T2 does not? (Apart from smaller box and runs faster, external PSU etc. ie physical differences).
Quote:So exactly like the HDR Fox T2 then.More or less, as previously mentioned GUI is the same.
Quote:Does the HDR-2000T do anything that the HDR Fox T2 does not?IPTV Channels – 225 etc
I think I’ve got the hang of IPTV, ie streamimg tv directly to the box via broadband, different from u-tube/I player etc, a new standard, introduced relatively recently.
But what’s the ref. To channel 225?
By the way does bt youview/t1010 do iptv?
225 is is one of the IPTV channel numbers.
Edit as answer changed:
Youview – IPTV not as yet, no idea if it is planned.

DTR 1010 YouView – Good for on demand content as is has all the major players, with previous 7 days EPG. Woeful as PVR, lacking many of the features now regarded as standard eg – No padding auto or manual, no edit timers, no manual timers, no manual tuning, no favourites, no wifi support, no archiving.
HDR 2000T – Only has BBC iplayer, no backward looking EPG though, plus other stuff you have already mentioned, but as PVR it has all that is missing from the DTR 1010.
Question is does the 2000T have a faster processor? DTR 1010 is painfully slow.

That’s because it has to run the YouView software in a virtual machine within the box. Not Humax’s fault but it does make for a terrible user experience IMHO.
The 2000T does have more memory so it may have an upgraded processor over the HDR-Fox T2 too, not that the T2 has any problems there.
Received an email asking for confirmation re PSU.
I can confirm it is external PSU, as per my post #1
(The tech specs listed on Humax Direct were originally wrong, but quickly amended once highlighted to Humax Towers – post #16)
Can’t wait for someone to get their hands on one of these and do a mini review! I have it sitting in my Amazon cart at thre ready
Sounds like an HDR Fox T2 in a different box/power supply with maybe a faster CPU. The only benefit seems to be the IPTV channels and they’re only there because support is mandatory for any new Freeview HD boxes these days.
If anyone has the box can they please check that it’s possible to turn off power saving in sby to enable rf loopthrough. A poster in another place reckons the option is missing (ie Power Management only has a auto shutdown option).

The option is missing Graham 😯
Thanks Barry. Explains the confusion 😳
I will check later if loop-through works in standby mode…
(For the T2000)
Meanwhile an alternative suggestion is put the other device on the upstream end of the signal so you don’t need hummy to pass through, or use a passive splitter…
Obviously the other device might not have a pass through & a splitter presumably halves the signal strength but should have minimal effect on digital “quality”

Always the environmentally friendly solution, I don’t have any of my devices in other than low power sby. I have one launch amplifier in the loft, other than that everything is done with passive splitters (10 digital tuners a mixture of HD and SD). Provided the signal remains firmly above the digital cliff it will have zero effect on picture quality.
The aerial is a log40 periodic in the loft and the transmitter is a relatively low power one some 30 mls away (Lark Stoke technically part of a SFN – Single Frequency Network). Trees behind my house give problems with the much higher power Sutton Coldfield roughly the same distance away.
Digital either works 100%, not at all or within a very narrow band where problems are totally obvious (picture breaks down into a pixelated mess).
Ok now I’m confused, T2000 is doing pass through, but not power saving.
Seems to consume 9/10 watts on standby…
Can’t find anything on menu to change powe settings, is that what you meant by missing menu options?
