TV Fan – 2 minutes ago »
Thank you for all your helpful comments.
My parents do have a HD TV.
It does has HDMI inputs too.
I can see that the Humax FVP-5000T does also have RCA connectors but no scart lead connectors.
I had old TV without HD before, that worked fine with a virgin HD box sending it information. I was not able to enjoy the benefits of the HD quality on that TV, but I was still able to get a standard definition picture and sound, until I was able to upgrade my TV to a HD one.
So, I expect as long as someone has a HDMI or RCA connection, I expect it should give them picture and sound up to the quality their TV allows (up to a max quality of HD, if the TV has that of course).
My mind just got blown on the digital TV aerial myth. Still a bit confused about that one.
Thanks again for everyone’s help.

A scart connection using RGB instead of composite is a vastly better picture than composite. Generally at least one scart on a SD TV is RGB capable.

Note Myth 3 is itself a myth.
I have a log periodic in my loft 30 mls from Lark Stoke which isn’t even a main power transmitter. I have an amplifier but that’s purely down to the number of tv’s and pvrs it has to feed.

Good Luck, If you go ahead and make the purchase.
from the first few remark’s on this forum They, and you may be in for a pleasant surprise.
Do people who buy a box after making some of the first few comments on this forum, have the possibility of getting some extra bonus gift or money off or something then?
If this is the case, would I need to buy from a certain website such as Humaxdirect or could it be bought from anywhere such as Amazon etc.?
Or, do you just mean we will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the product?

Thanks for the info.
I think you’ll find that everyone on this forum use it Just to help each other with their Humax machines and DO NOT get any kind of voucher, or discount from Humax.
However, Humax does seem to keep a watchful eye on it to get feedback.
In particular contributors, such as Barry. it’s just refreshing to find a helpful forum such as this one.
at this moment in time the only place the FVP5000t is available is on Humax Direct. All the others including the 4000t you can get from many places both online ,and on the High street.I for one have been following this forum for several month’s.
With all the Questions and helpful reply’s (including those from Barry .
I’m intending to get the 5000t (2 TB model) from Humax Direct.
I wonder if the sorting of media files has been resolved on the 5000t. Of all my gripes with the 4000t, that’s the most frustrating – especially since it worked until an update broke it.
I have just noticed this on one of the reviews which shocked me….

“There’s plenty of ventilation around the 5000T, with some quiet fan and disc noise in operation, but nothing that we found distracting when in use. Essentially, the layout is the same as the 4000T.”
Does this mean the 5000 now has a fan whereas the 4000 was fanless?
I hope that is an error as the fanless design is one of the things I do like about the 4000

There is no fan.
Great, thank you.
Nice large heat sink in the centre.
FVP 5000T issue report to Humax Towers. The new search does not find all results and there also appears to be no special character option.
The current series 5 of Longmire on 5 USA cannot be found via search. No results. Earlier Humax 2000T and Fox T-2 find OK. Anyone else had anomalies like this.
I’ve found that there have been instances where the search will maybe show the scheduled program on, for example, BBC 1 but not BBC 1 HD. It tends to depend on what channel I’m on, as when this occurs, the EPG listings for the missing channel shows no information available, until I switch to that channel and then it updates the EPG and search listings.
However, the EPG issue described occurs on other TV EPGs too and is, in my experience, not limited to the Humax STB.
It may be worth looking at the EPG to see if it’s a similar issue.

Interesting to note Humax haven’t even bothered to change the text printed on the circuit board. Still reads ‘FVP-4000T’…
