The second was from Luke, who referred me to a topic on the MyHumax forum, pointing out that is a Humax fault that they have been aware of since 5th August.

Providing the source is of sufficient quality to start with, 1080p upscaling does a goodjob of visibly improving SD TV, and HD transmissions from the BBC in particular are pleasingly detailed. Welcome addition In both cases the destination and source exchange data (EDID) to identify what the destination supports.The problems began once I started to use the 2000T ( I already own a HDR-1000s freetime box). I noticed that every time the 2000T entered a partial wake-up state in readiness to record a programme (15 minutes prior to programme start) I would lose the TV's own tuner signal for anything between 10 and 30 seconds (blank screen). The HDMI hub I am using would show an active connection at this point. The user interface is easy to navigate, and the EPG can display data for channels of a certain type – such as HD – or those in one of five user-definable favourites lists. You can search for shows by entering keywords or see lists of upcoming broadcasts organised by genre. Freeview+HD functionality, including automatic series recording and, for some channels, recommendations for similar shows to record, is catered for. Identifies the audio codec that the destination supports, and provide a audio format the destination can support. Despite having ZERO problems with any of my other Humax boxes, the 2000T refuses to work properly with the hdmi splitter. Why would every other Humax box work but not the 2000T?

New TV Guide Surf & Scan Banner When watching TV press, the ‘OK’ button a banner appears at the bottom of the screen displaying programme information. Press either the up or down arrows around the OK button to scroll up and down the channel list displayed on the left hand side of the screen, if you then press ‘OK’ again the programme synopsis will be displayed in a larger pop up panel. This provides the option to record the programme or series or set a reminder! Sound quality too, is as we’ve come to expect from this class-leading TV; switching to YouTube we play the video for Frightened Rabbit’s Get Out and enjoy as dynamic and expressive a performance as our telly speakers are capable. Placing the HDR-2000T in to standby with power saving on at least 40 minutes before the recording then reproduces the initial standby symptoms that were described It's nothing to do with Humax or any other makers, it's purely down to the limitations of the EDID data exchange between different makers destination devices. Live TV App, when installed on a mobile device and paired with the FVP-5000T when in the home, provides a multi-room solution for viewing TV in another room.
