I don't use iPlayer that often but a couple of days ago
I noticed that it fails on my HD FOX T2. Seems there is a problem
with ?all Humax PVRs because various Humax forums have similar
messages though people with the 4000 and 5000 say the problem
has been fixed. The BBC says there is a problem and they are
working wih Humax to fix it.

Does anyone else have an HD FOXT2, or a HDR FOXT2 and still
have the problem ?.

I might bite the bullet and upgrade to the new Humax Aura,
which looks quite interesting (rather than getting a smart TV
which doesn't stay smart for very long).

We have the HDR Fox T2. Frankly, its always been pants as a €œsmart€�
device for streaming content. Currently iPlayer isnt working and an alert
about YouTube giving up the ghost shortly. I amazed that anyone has the
patience to use it for streaming.

We have one too. If all else fails we switch to the 'smart' TV just for
this. We need it for All4 anyway.

But have you tried the iPlayer on your HDR FOX recently ?.

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.
