I have had a Humax T1000 for a few years running YouView. Until March 20, there was an excellent YouView app which allowed me to access my box and program recordings remotely on my phone – and by remotely, I mean away from home over the internet, once from Vancouver. Now, I find that my box is too old to use YouView’s new app written for the BTTV system. So my question is – does the LiveTV app work over the internet like the YouView one, or only when the phone is in my house?
It’s the “Humax TV Guide” app that I use to set remote recordings, and yes it allows recordings to be set over the internet.
It would be even better if you could check the list of recordings on the FVP, to see if a recording has been successful.
Oops sorry I was talking about the FVP 4000T, I have no idea if this applies to the box you have.
Thank you pigolato. I have installed this app on my phone, but I need a registration code and a pin to register the box which I can’t find on my T1000. I assume therefore that it is too old.
Looks like the headline about the 5000T and the section it is in may be misleading people.
Martin, which box are you really asking about?
You’re quite right A1944, I am intending buying a 5000T because my old 1000T is getting slow and has stopped allowing rewind of live tv. I would like to make sure I can do remote access before I spend my money on a new box

You can – with the 5000T. I used it very successfully last year – but it took some time to get it to work. The remote app would also show the current recording schedule but for some reason this year, that aspect stopped working. You have prompted me to try again after the latest software upgrade. I’ll post again if I have anything new to report
Thank you Graham. I would be interested how know how you get on.
The remote app still shows the recording schedule for me (4000T)
Well, here is an update. I have my 5000T up and running, and apart from the odd missed recording, it seems OK. The user Interface is a bit complicated, but I will get used to it.
But, the Humax TV Guide app is a disappointment. When I install it on my Android 9 phone, I get a warning that it may not work correctly because it was written under an older Android release.
As it was the remote programming I wanted, I feel rather let down. If I had known about this issue, I may not have bought this box.
Are there any Humax programmers out there that can get this app updated? I don’t think it’s too late for me to sent the box back to John Lewis.
Or what about allowing the Live TV app to work over the internet?

That’s strange – the TV Guide app works fine on my Android 10 phone??
Hmm. What happens to me is when I program a recording, then go to Schedule, it isn’t there, and it isn’t on the box either.
The schedule screen isn’t the same as the box either.

The box only checks for remote recordings every 20 minutes (I think), so there is a delay before the recording appears in the box EPG and schedule.
By the way I’ve just watched the YouTube review (see the Aura thread) of the new Aura, and if I were in your shoes, I’d be returning the 5000T and putting the money towards an Aura !
