Default iPlayer no longer works on some Humax PVRs

Dunno. Could be.

To be honest, it is so agonisingly slow at navigating to what
you want to stream, I have been researching potential replacements
for some time.

The Twitter app was removed a few years ago, and Youtube vanished
in the last couple of years. Something to do with 'lack of
authentication', wherever that means. Some people have installed
a 3rd party software package on their HDR FOX T2s, but these have
dual tuners and an onboard hard disk. I have the single tuner,
diskless version and I don't think the 3rd party software can be
installed on it.

The new Humax Aura looks interesting because it claims to stream
'HD' audio from a local server. Hopefully this means it will stream
FLAC which the current Humax PVrs cannot do. They only understand
(and see) MP3 files on my PC.

Another route (for me) is to get an AV amp that has more funtionality
and makes it easier to connect other devices. At the moment I have an
HD FOX T2 PVR with its single tuner, an external 2.5 inch 350Gig disk
for recording and a 32 inch IPS monitor as a screen device. The
monitor only has one HDMI port.

Researching AV amps is a pain. There are too many to choose from.

Is this the removal of Flash though?
