HUMAX TV Guide for Android
The machine is fine but the apps definately need looking at by the developers. App crashes, not as attractive as youview, the tv guide is all over the place. Don't regret purchase and optimistic that Humax will improve the apps.
I've never been able to remotely record anything and the programme guide never displays any upcoming broadcasts. You expect occasional glitches, but not for an app to be so completely useless.
Everytime I try this app I don't see any programs listed. I was looking forward to having a good set of box with remote access but it doesn't work at all and the box is a waste of money as well. £200 wasted when I could have bought a Now TV box for £30 and got better service
Complete rubbish. Read the red bar and start typing. This quality level is comparable with Humax firmware and support. Junk.
Waste of time schedule only displays three days ahead. The app is as bad as the Humax FVP 4000 T I was trying to use it with, which was so full of software bugs I returned it for a refund.
Nice to see that humax have added support for my set top box now. The app still needs some work (a search facility would be good and landscape mode) but seems to work okay. To be honest, humax have been excellent with listening to software update requests in the past from customers and loads of improvements regularly roll out.
Very disappointing experience. Was dreadful to set up and has now stopped updating the guide, so it's completely useless. Much worse that the YouView app I used on our old Humax box (which was far from perfect). It seems to reflect the experience I've had of the Humax boxes (I'm on my 6th) - nice idea, poor execution, dreadful support.
I have fvp-4000T.... your last update had bug fixed for 4000T in england... U need to do this for scotland. I have all relevant switches on... app shows red record circle... but it doesn't do it on unit guide. Also.. last night i wanted to scroll through guide for the wk... i did it at 8pm... it would only let me scroll through each day from 8pm. PLEASE FIX THIS.
Humax support is rubbish this app will not work with FTP4000T in spite of the tech spec saying it does . Humax support also didn't know all the ins on outs of this device. They gave wrong info several times.
Schedule doesn't update correctly. Doesn't send remote record requests properly. Worked when I first downloaded it but then just a failure since then. Not pleased as I hoped this would be a free view replacement for the sky guide remote record.
Just does nothing when attempting to select on a program to record or set a reminder on. Please humax get in contact and I'll help you fix it, but currently it is BROKEN.
This would be a useful app but when trying to set up recordings, the schedule will not move beyond todays time parameters when going to other future days.
Useless, doesn't work. Once the app has loaded, I get a screen showing 'tips how to use' then it just a blank page!!
Worked up until recently (Android 7 update) but now constantly shows "no programme information" alongside each channel.
Working brilliantly for me, I've just sent my Tivo back and deleted thier app. This is in my opinion a better app, just needs to be able to schedule a series to get 5 stars.
Really good app, once you figure out you need to turn on certain settings on your Humax box.
It's a bit basic but does allow you to view the schedule and set up recordings remotely.
I don't know what the bug fixes are in this version but they certainly don’t work on my 4000T even though the 4000 works fine. Guide does not populate.
When cancelling or deleting scheduled programs app FC
The PVR is great but the app is rubbish and doesn't work as avertised
Crashes every time I use it.
Pants, does not work.
Completely awful. Don't bother with it
Nothing is displayed
When I first bought my PVR I couldn't register it on the Humax website so it didn't work at all. This is fixed now and I can set programs to be recorded but still a few issues: a) I don't have the option to record entire series b) If you successfully record something then the app gives you no indication that it has worked. c) I get nothing when I look at the schedule tab even though I can see my schedule if I browse to the Humax website site.
Works as a guide, but remote recording us pathetically hopeless. Am only keeping the app in the vain hope that one day it will actually work.
It takes ages to build the TV listings if it completes the task at all. Box is registered and paired as per instructions. The box is the new fvp4000T freeview play
My Humax FVP-4000T is 'seen' by the app. The PVR is set up to allow remote recordings. A clunky, basic TV guide lists programmes correctly. Tapping 'record', the app seems to think about it for a second, before failing to schedule a recording.
This app not working on fvp-4000t and yet since March 2016 humax not resolved it!!! Get you view.. The app is much better and works flawlessly
Does not give me the chance to record while on the go. ????
This functionality is one of the reasons I that I bought this box for and was very surprised to find that their latest set top box isn't supported by this app. Very disappointing. Feel that they've missed a trick here. Either this or they are planning future support? Who knows because their website has nothing in the way of support or documentation either for it. Not what you expect from a technology company.
HMATGP-1.0.7 is much better. It has good scrolling, doesn't crash on starting. I'd still like a search option. HMATGP-1.0.6 crashes and will not open on Xperia Z3 Android 5.1.1. Reinstated HMATGP-1.0.4 and it's working again.
The app tells me that I don't have a device registered when I sign in. I registered on the Web site and it accepted my device details but says I have no device registered. Just about every page on the Web site crashes and there's no way to register my device. I think the problem is with the Web site, not the app, but it makes the app unusable. Fix this Humax and I'll happily give you a better review. My PVR is a FVP-4000T Freeview.
No entries in the guide are shown and haven't been for ages! The one time it did, I couldn't record. Completely useless app.
Never has been really good but now it wont even open. Worst thing I ever did was to buy a Humax hms 1000t. Been in for repair twice and now only works when it feels like it. Edit, fixed now thanks.
but it doesn't work. Press to record and nothing happens. No option to record single or series, nothing. That aside, the channel list can't be edited. You'd think that it would list only your favourite channels or allow you to hide the ones you don't watch, but no, you have to scroll until you find the channel you need. Had no trouble pairing the app to the box. I have the FVP-4000T (1TB) but all that is pointless because the app is all but useless. **EDIT** I have now sent two recordings. NEEDS WORK!
Went through and registered, no schedule info or tv guide displayed on phone or tablet
Only Sporadically loads my schedule, record button doesn't work when it does, no series record button at all. Poor app
Slow refresh and needs pin log in or auto log in fixed

No problems for me. I made the relevant settings on my 4000T, registered online, download the app and bingo! It's nothing fancy, but it allows me to schedule recordings when I'm away from home, which is all I need it for. I can only guess that people who are having problems might not have set it up correctly.
