Review: Good recording box - Great little recording box; easy to set up, with or without internet - works both ways; easy to use menu system with responsive remote control; seamless multiple recordings - very rarely get program clash; great volume and colour/contrast control; can record hundreds of programs, single or series, without running out of space; quality of playback - excellent, no duds.
Review: Overall good but shame about the slow response to the remote control. - We’ve had a Humax Freeview player before and it was excellent so after having to replace it we sadly went for a Panasonic which we didn’t like thus we purchased another Humax of a higher spec than our previous one. Generally it works well but it is a bit slow in its response to the remote control which is irritating! Overall it’s not complicated to use but I think the older version we had was a little more straightforward. Another criticism is that when you look at your recordings it defaults to the most recent not the earlier episodes, I had read this criticism from others before purchasing so I was aware of it, it’s more an annoyance than problem but if caught out you’ll be watching a later episode of a series than you want to. Advantages are that you can record 4 programmes simultaneously and watch a different programme too which is really good. Picture quality is good and I suspect depends as much on the TV that you’re using as much as the signal. Overall I’d buy it again but would like the slow response to the remote control speeded up!

## 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......
