Is is as useless on smart TVs and other recorders as it is on the Humax 2000T? The interface lacks a "back" button, so if you don't like what turns up when the list is automatic refreshed, the only way to go back is to use the Back button on the remote and select your search word all over again.

Then there is the issue with files unable to play "due to incorrect format" and a very high percentage that simply freeze when they try to load.

I simply wondered if it was a Humax problem or a general one with any non-Windows interface.

You Tube works fine on my Humax PVR

I received a reply from Humax, telling me that it was a known problem with YouTube and that they were working to fix it. It was running again by yesterday morning. I assume YouTube and Flickr must be connected in some way, because they were both affected by the same problem.
