Additionally the TV I am using does not auto select on HDMI but that is probably irrelevant with the HDR-2000T when its power saving option is set to off. The TV can always detect the HDR-2000T's HDMI when the HDR-2000T's power saving is off, even in standby and no recordings set to start within the next 40 minutes. The 500GB hard disk and dual tuner are standard fare these days, but less common is the range of network features, which includes a range of internet content and DLNA streaming of media files across a home network.

Of course, it does all the stuff you would expect, too, and setting recordings, whether single or series, really is the proverbial child's play and the interface is always on hand should you run into recording clashes or forget (how could you?) that something was available in HD. 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. I used mine with an HDMI splitter, and everytime you switched on the tv the audio on the 2000T had gone until the box was rebooted. I wish you well, but basically Humax released a box that was incredibly buggy, and even a couple of firmware updates haven't sorted all the major issues with it.

Features

My unit is out of warranty so will have to open it up. Anyone have a link telling me what the fault is and the components needed? When you introduce a splitter unless both destinations report identical capability there is clearly an issue. It needs a reasonably good signal, I'm guessing one that can at least be split OK without using a powered splitter. My TV has fairly good tuners and demodulators including good error correction. When I use an aerial feed with a good signal and pass it through the HDR-2000T with power saving on, my TV shows a 100% quality picture though looking at the error correction count within the TV's menus there is a error correction going on compared to zero error correction when loop through is enabled. HDR-2000T is a Freeview+ box and has limited on demand services. It can however export recordings for use with other kit. (Even HD using a small programme by Raydon). It also has DLNA server and client, so you can remotely view SD recordings on other kit like smart phones and tablets. It can also replay content stored on other kit (like a PC). Additionally it has manual timers and autopadding. It does however appear to have HDMI handshake issues with some TV's. There are advanced splitters that can control the EDID codes, but of course the delivered audio and video has to be downgraded to the lowest format that both sources support.

Possibly the best feature built in to the 2000-T is its capability to stream recordings from off its HDD to other devices boasting DLNA compatibility. In effect, if you have something that fits the bill situated in another room, it gives you a two-for-one PVR. There are other examples on the web with the 2000T losing sound, even when using a single hdmi port, and as you don't even own a 2000T then to try and suggest it's the users who don't know what they are doing is just incredibly arrogant. 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 describedWhat I have noticed with power saving in standby set to off is that on wake up for a split second the LED turns blue and immediately red again. Once the 2000T released the connection the TVs own tuner would take over again and we could continue watching the programme. I do suspect the HDMI hub is the issue with the complete blank screen though as that behaviour is only present when the hub is used. I think it may be grabbing the signal then taking a number of seconds before releasing it again. It doesn't happen when HDMI is a direct connection, though there is still momentary picture break up pixelation etc. In both cases the destination and source exchange data (EDID) to identify what the destination supports. With power saving in standby set to 'OFF', loop through to the TV remains totally in tact. Neither of the USB ports become active. Even when the recording starts the USB ports remain inactive. Under these circumstances the only way to activate the USB ports is to toggle the 2000T on and then off again, and the USB ports will then remain active until the recording has finished, providing there is not another recording due to start in the subsequent 40 minutes.

Which ever model it is there are many things that can go wrong with it. To fix it you will need to narrow down what is wrong with it. With out doing that any 'fix' will just be a guess. The HDR-2000T's twin tuners allow two channels to be recorded at once but a nice bonus is that you can also watch and timeshift a third channel at the same time. The timeshift buffer lasts up to two hours. 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.

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.

Device works flawlessly using a splitter. The fault if it is correct to call it that has to be with the loop-through side of the 2T as it's present when no connection by HDMI is present. The “On Demand” button displays the most popular Catch-up services, which are all in one place, providing easy access to the the world of iPlayer, ITV Hub, ALL4, Demand 5 and UKTV Hi, I am replacing my Humax PVR 9300 and I think I have narrowed it down to either the HDR-2000T or the DTR-T1000, can anyone explain if there is much difference. Thank you.

HDR-2000T

Then (with power saving in standby still 'ON') loop through is enabled a few seconds after 18 minutes (same time as HDR-FOX T2s on 1.03.xx) before the scheduled start time of a recording, and the USB ports become powered, and the TV can now see that there is something connected on the HDMI port. During this change of standby state there is a very brief momentary picture break-up, very brief freezing; I'm guessing that this is the powered loop through being enabled. Identifies the video capability of the destination, and informs the source to provide a video format the destination can support. Here is how I can reproduce the symptoms of momentary break up during the switch to active standby, the described activity on the USB ports and the described activity on the HDMI port (all of which I cannot get near reproducing when power saving is 'OFF') ...... : Frankly your comments show you have little or no understanding of the issues involved in splitting a HDMI output to multiple devices with differing capabilities.
