Review: Small and neat - Worked right out of the box Set up in about 10 mins My Sony TV has a pvr built-in but will only record one channel at a time. And you can't turn the TV over to another channel while it is recording. With the Humax you can record four different programmes. And still watch something else at the same time. As I have owned the Humax T2 fox pvr in the past I know it's going to be well made Easy to use with good picture quality And definitely well made So I didn't buy brand new I purchased used Bar a few age related marks which was hardly noticeable I think it's great And a bargain It came through the post signed for with in a couple days Well worth the wait 😄😄 Hdmi cable power supply and Remote supplied
Review: Its good, and reliable, but read on....... - I previously had a Humax 4000 for about 4-5yrs, before it stopped recording or letting me view any recorded programs. It still worked ok for viewing Freeview though. No problems before that. So new Humax 5000 2Tb bought. Frankly, not much difference, except glossy case and bigger hard drive. Works exactly as before. I`m used to the the viewing layout, although some people moan about it, why? The setup is easy, the remote works fine, (the original remote works on it too). Now the grrr moment.....I thought later, maybe the only problem with the old 4000 was the hard drive. So I looked to open the case, (as I had nothing to lose), and found the top is held on by 4 recessed lugs, and a screw at the back. After much fiddling (and a few choice words), I managed to release the top and remove it. Voila....all you see is the pcb control board, and a whacking great hard drive. (500Gb). Removed the hard drive and tested it, sure enough its gone kaput. Some people complain about a hum or other noises, its basically just the hard drive motor working, and some drives are noisier than other others. I did consider replacing it with a noiseless solid state drive (SSD), but these do not have the same lifetime as mechanical drives, so I fitted a replacement. Re-assembled the unit and installed on my bedroom tv. It worked. That`s the grrrr moment....I could have saved myself £250. As an electronics engineer, I should have known better. It proves I`m not infallible.... I thought I was....

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the wifi built in or do you need to buy a dongle to go in the back. Thx**
A: It's built in. When you go through set-up on screen, it automatically looks for connections and asks for the password. Linked up to our home hub with no problems.

**Q: Can this successfully play different file types from my nas? online reviews mention stuttering when doing this.**
A: FVP-5000T models can support Video, music and photo file playback from both external USB hard drives and Network Attached Drives.  The most commonly used are supported, JPEG, Mpeg.  Stuttering could be due to limitations of the network connected too, but have never experienced personally.

**Q: Can you access Amazon Prime from the remote?**
A: No

**Q: If your wifi dropped for any length of time, does it still record OK as long as it's set to record only live broadcasts and not catch-up programmes?**
A: Recording does not depend on WiFi. Machine records more than one program at a time  but up to now have only recorded 2 programs at same time, no problems.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent to fully benefit freeView TV and more
*by J***T on 27 February 2018*

Bought this to replace a HDR 2000T. ( works fine and gave it to a friend to replace an expensive Sky set up) This allows you to record 4 programmes simultaneously and watch another, which is great but makes me wonder if my chosen hard drive size of 500 GB will be large enough especially as most programmes that I record are in HD and therefore uses more memory than standard format. You can also freeze live TV whilst you stop to make tea etc, which will also then enable you to skip ads when paused for long enough. I do find the remote a bit clunky the way it clicks when pressed as other reviewers state, but I think this is OK and you get used to it. I Am used to it too with my previous Humax anyway. I like the little reminders on screen when it's about to record. The on demand and freeview play modes are quite slow loading but again this is bearable. One feature I love is the TV guide app, I got caught out when at a wedding recently and realised I had forgotten to record England & Scotland rugby.... The TV guide app on my phone resolved this! Excellent. All in all this is great. If you think about it.... You do get alot for your money compared to a Sky subscription. There are over 100 channels that are free to view on digital TV anyway plus this also has catch up TV for BBC, ITV and ch4 etc. You cannot go wrong buying this item in my opinion. It is easy to install and to navigate the different menus and brings to life freeview tv ( and more) Highly recommended item especially if you like your terrestial ( free) TV......
