Unless humax have done some serious changes this thing will be a 4 tuner version of the 7500. No smb no nfs just dlna for sharing/playback of media. The apps will be an extension of what was recently released.  Australia is too small a market for an all new product.  So another great free to air tuner recorder and a crap media server.

I am inclined to agree with above. In the last few weeks I've been trying to gain specifics on this unit as on paper it looks good. BUT... I received an email from IceTV basically telling me that Humax has confirmed the HMS-1000t will NOT support IceTV... and after emailing Humax I was unable to gain confirmation whether they do or do not.

I also tried to obtain info from Humax on compatibility with Samsung Smart TV's and whether the smart TV can stream live or recorded television from the HMS-1000t, but again couldn't get an answer.

So... I am going to sit and watch until more info gets out into the market, because I am worried the unit won't live up to the hype.

When did you receive this email?

Last week.

Yeah strange that apparently Humax only started talks with Ice last week from what we were told but as mentioned earlier in this thread i was told by Ice it would be compatible about a month ago

Nobody knows whats going on by the look of it

Going by the Humax Australia website, the 4tune seems to support the 3 Humax smart phone apps, and has samba support - though it reads like you need to copy the files to the Humax HDD before it can play them (assuming it has codecs to support said files).

Can you confirm this the case, i will not be buying unless it can stream directly from my NAS

Supported formats are
• Video: MP4, VOB, AVI, ASF, MKV, MPEG-2TS
• Photo: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF
• Music: MP3

Looks good

If this has IceTV support might have to get one to replace my useless Topfield 2460!

I was this person, when IceTv had the 4 year subscription sale on a couple of weeks, i know i was going to purchase the new Humax and asked IceTv if the new Humax was going to be Ice capable and said i would only get the subscription if it was, i was told point blank it would be 100% capable.

Humax was not answering the question but then i find out its not capable yet, NOT HAPPY, i rang Ice and wanted refund but they are working on Ice Capability now so i had my account suspended until its released so i am not wasting subscription time

I have requested that Humax add Plex as this seems to be a great media player

Most important is keeping the price on the realistic side not the wishful thinking side
