Now you can record an entire series at the touch of a button.

Three digital tuners allows you to record up to 4 programmes simultaneously whilst watching a previous recording. For use in UK only. Remote Recording is now available via the Humax Live TV App available from both the Android and Apple app store. A long with recording remotely you can also watch live TV and your recordings (FVP & mobile/tablet must be connected to the same network for these two functions) You will need to select your preferred settings on the FVP under the Settings and then go to Advanced Settings and then go to Remote Recording. Update Period refers to the period of time the Humax server will be setting remote recordings, we recommend this be set to All Day. Update Interval refers to how often the server and the FVP will communicate, we recommend 30 minutes (meaning the customer will have to set the recording remotely at least 30 minutes in advanced of the programme starting.). For accessing Live TV and Recordings via the Live TV App you need to adjust the network sever to your preference, this can be done via Settings and then go to Advanced Settings and then go to Server Management.
