RicandJo Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Has anybody tried hooking up their Humax box to their broadband router? Just wondering if iPlayer works through it or if you hit the "service not available outside UK" wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicandJo Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Thought it might. That would have been the last push that made me buy one. Think I'll still go ahead and get one though, been mulling it over for a while now. Comet seem to have a good deal at the mo..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I think this may have been covered before, in that you may need something like iPortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRoss Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Tried iPortal when it was free and it worked very well as long as you didn't mind watching progs on the computer screen at the time and our broadband speed was not really good enough so occasional programme freeze. Have had some success in transferring recorded progs from the Humax to the computer using a USB key/stick though not much point unless you want to put them on DVD. File size should not exceed 4GB, limit of FAT32 formatted USB keys so most SD progs transfer ok but not HD ones unless they are very short! Like the Humax Foxsat HDR/GB PVR box but find the remote buttons a bit small........Good luck................JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicandJo Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Nah - can't be bothered with all that iPortal stuff. To be honest I rarely sit down long enough to watch very much. Would have been nice to have iPlayer functionality but no big deal I'll just record what I want and watch when I can.Gonna go out and buy the 320g HDR this arvo. :)Cheers,Ric.

JohnRoss Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 There is always UKNova and The Box for those progs not likely to appear on DVD.............JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
