    Setting the system time WITHOUT an aerial

    Done that and it shows as loaded in the packages screen. The box is rebooted every day as we have a switch off policy. Could you do a screen shot of the custom-portal?

    It must be a stick the Humax doesn't like. Kingston DataTraveller G2 8Gb USB stick and it works fine after the upgade so it's just when Humax is looking at it for an upgrade. I tried it with a 500Mb Fat primary partition but that didn't work either! Just for the record, the HD Fox T2 only has...

    Setting the system time WITHOUT an aerial

    It doesn't work from an 8Gb stick, even with a Fat partition (I tried!) I was fed up with switching the box on/off/on/off.. so I copied the file structure just in case... Good news, ntpclient is doing the time, but only works if you set the date within a month of the correct date (I have...

    Setting the system time WITHOUT an aerial

    The news so far: One cannot upgrade the HD-Fox-T2 from an 8Gb USB ext2 stick! One can upgrade the HD-Fox-T2 from a 1 Gb Fat16 stick, copy the folder /mod to the 8Gb stick and restart with the 8Gb stick in and then do the "download from the internet" web page, because the download assumes the...

    Good news, webif is up and running! I found the telnet set date command and it worked! No Humax TV Portal! My box just says no channels, and gives a no entry sign when I press the TV portal button on the remote or try through the menu. As history, I took this box to my brother's and...

    I find it is adequate to telnet in and use a date command to set it up. Black Hole, what is the text for the date command? Cheers Shantyman

    Because we had a lousy signal and we get rid of it. Been watching TV on the Web ever since using an old laptop which is OK for standard TV but wanted a remote driven box with HD. Cheers Shantyman

    Setting the system time WITHOUT an aerial

    Pulling my hair out! Friday, I got a web page up on my laptop and nothing since! Using telnet, how can I make sure the webif is running? Just in passing, without the webif, can I install the full custom software? Cheers Shantyman PS going into the garden! look what Humax has driven...
